CMHC Loans Explained: Rates, Requirements & What No One Tells You

The federal GST rebate for first-time buyers is now live — and most people are missing the real story. Yes, qualifying buyers can save up to $50,000 federally (and up to $130,000 combined with Ontario's provincial rebate) on eligible new homes. But Ottawa's own numbers imply the average benefit is closer to $22,400 per home. So what's actually going on?

Nick and Dan break down the mechanics of the new rebate, why the government's own fiscal tables reveal this is less about affordability and more about keeping the construction pipeline from stalling, and why this policy is likely deflationary, not inflationary, for new home pricing. They also cover the existing purpose-built rental rebate, the retrofit gap nobody's talking about, and what buyers, investors, and sellers should actually do with this information.

Can a Tax Break Fix Canada's Housing Market?

We are joined by Theorem Development founders & owners Faizan & Suraj who break down their business for us. 
A real multiplex deal, broken down: Suraj walks through a recent East Vancouver fourplex project from start to finish — $2M land acquisition, $2M construction, $350K in soft costs, and $6M in total sales revenue, delivering roughly 40% annualized return on invested capital to their citizen developer client.
The biggest roadblocks holding back supply: From BC Hydro transformer upgrades that can cost $120K+ and delay projects by over a year, to 6–10 month permitting timelines that add $60–100K in holding costs, Suraj and Faizan break down exactly where time and money get burned — and who ultimately pays for it (hint: the buyer).
Why Vancouver's multiplex math favors build-to-sell over buy-and-hold: Unlike Toronto where CMHC MLI Select financing pushes developers toward rental, Vancouver's strata title system and strong end-user demand at the $1.5–1.9M price point make merchant building the more compelling strategy, with 20%+ returns on cost.

Why Vancouver's Multiplex Builders Sell Instead of Hold

In this interview with Aboriginal law expert Tom Isaac we talk all about BC court rulings on Aboriginal title (e.g., Cowichan, Musqueam) that could undermine indefeasible land title, threaten private property and liquidity, and have broad economic and reconciliation consequences across Canada.
Court language and agreements may mean Aboriginal title displaces Crown/fee-simple protections, creating clouds on property titles and making homes illiquid.
Revenue-sharing and uncertainty threaten government services, investment, and the broader economy—hurting reconciliation and public welfare.
 Outcomes depend on appeals; the issue could extend beyond BC nationally, and citizen engagement (voting, public pressure) is critical to drive thoughtful policy.
