CREA Stats, Market Updates, & Landlords Vs. Tenants

Nick sits down with Frankie Porco and Brendan Farrow of Platform Insurance, a Toronto brokerage focused on insurance and bonding for developers and builders. Since CMHC added a bonding requirement to MLI Select, bonding has gone from a public infrastructure product to something almost every purpose built rental project needs. They explain what a bond actually is, the difference between a performance bond and a labour and material payment bond, and why the “50/50” requirement still means your full contract is covered. They also cover who needs it (some lenders now ask for it on projects as small as 7 units), what it takes to qualify, how vertically integrated builders get approved, and how subdivision bonds can free up cash you’d otherwise lock in letters of credit. The episode wraps with where the construction market is heading and why you need specialists on your power team, not generalists.

Bonding for Developers: How to Qualify, What It Costs, and Why CMHC Wants It

Ottawa says it’s extending the foreign buyer ban, but the law still ends it January 1. Nick and Dan go through Budget 2026 and sort what’s law from what’s only proposed. They cover the new 90% insured loan on triplexes and fourplexes (it’s 30 years and tests your income, not the building) and why you should build four units, not three, before Ontario’s HST deadline on March 31. They also get into how Canada’s new build carve out for foreign buyers copies Australia, the immigration timing risk, and what the budget means for rates. They run the numbers live, compare MLI Select to a fourplex, and give the budget a grade.

How Budget 2026 Impacts Canadian Real Estate

Land can make you rich while producing nothing, and that’s both the appeal and the danger. Nick and Dan look at why Toronto high density land is trading 37 per cent below its 2021 peak while Canadian farmland rose 9.3 per cent in 2025. They cover the six reasons people buy land and how Canada handed it out, from the 1805 Toronto Purchase to the Greenbelt reversal. They also explain the planning terms that cost investors fortunes, why land absorbs the hit when condo math breaks, and how professionals value and vet a parcel. They finish with their top five land plays today.
