Real Estate Terms You Need To Know (But Probably Don't) Part. 2

Multiplex starts just passed tower starts in Toronto for the first time. Condos have stalled, and the big builders aren't structured to build on tight low-rise sites, while most GCs can't properly analyze them. That gap is the whole opportunity.

We are joined by the founders of Reside Properties  Ryan & Mattison, a Toronto developer with an unusual stack: years as a general contractor, time as MPAC counsel working with planners on highest-and-best-use, and a legal background in development. They build it, they know how the city values the land, and they know where the traps are. Zero vacancy across the portfolio.

We get into the product thesis; custom-home-quality condo alternatives with dedicated entrances, separate utilities, and real millwork, and why that holds up when the market turns. Then we spend the bulk of the episode on the five ways these deals blow up:
The contractor who wins on price and makes it back in extras
Timeline slippage: financing, utility connections, trades, inspections
Fantasy rents that kill your refinance
Building the wrong units for the micro-market
One zoning misstep that turns $30K in DCs into $200K

Plus how Reside partners with landowners, and why the hard part has permanently shifted from approvals to execution.

What To Know When Building A Multiplex 

The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25 per cent again. Does that make fixed or variable the better mortgage choice in 2026, and could the next move still be a rate hike?

Daniel and Nick break down the fixed-versus-variable decision, the July 2026 Monetary Policy Report, inflation, growth, housing weakness, Government of Canada bond yields, and why CMHC MLI Select financing responds to more than the overnight rate.

We also explain what investors should stress-test before buying, how lender spreads affect multi-unit debt, and why a rate forecast cannot rescue weak NOI or a bad purchase price.

Sources include the Bank of Canada July rate decision, July 2026 MPR, official Government of Canada benchmark-yield data, and CMHC MLI Select materials.

Bank Of Canada Holds At 2.25%: Is Fixed Or Variable The Better Bet?

Nick and Daniel debate cash flow vs. appreciation in Canada's flat 2026 market, prices 21% off peak, near-zero population growth, a $400B renewal wall, and falling rents. They start in opposite corners but land on the same truth: there is no "Canadian market" anymore. Ontario and BC are falling while seven provinces hit record highs, so the winning strategy depends entirely on which "Canada" you're buying in.
