Why Are Canada's Top Earners Leaving the Country?

Sits down with Keaton Bessey, broker-owner of Greater Vancouver Tenant and Property Management, to break down what it actually takes to own and manage rental properties and especially multiplexes in one of Canada's most tenant-friendly markets.

 Keaton walks through property management fee structures and the hidden charges to watch for, his tenant screening process (income at 3x rent, plus the behavioral signals that matter more than the math), and how to keep "harmony" between tenants in small multiplex buildings where one bad neighbor can cost you three.

He shares practical playbooks for handling missed rent, insurance claims, and vendor management (including a great tip on how to cut a plumber bill in half), then closes with his own buy-box: a two-bed, one-bath near transit, run like a business, bought conservatively, and operated for the long haul.

The Tenant Screening Rule That Saves Landlords From Disaster

Prices aren't crashing, but almost everything just got cheaper. About 22% of new construction units have visible price cuts, but factor in the expanded HST rebate and roughly 90% of inventory is effectively discounted right now. Dan and Nick break down the data, the game theory keeping builders from cutting publicly, and why resale sellers are about to feel it first.

The Price You See Is No Longer the Real Price

Everyone's been waiting for the silver tsunami to crash the Canadian housing market — a flood of boomer homes hitting the market, prices correcting, and millennials finally getting their shot. It hasn't happened, and it's not going to happen the way anyone expects.

In this episode, Nick and Dan break down the real story behind Canada's aging population: 9.2 million boomers who own 41% of Canadian homes, why they're not selling, and why the "silver tsunami" isn't a housing supply event at all, it's a slow-motion structural reshaping of Canada's economy, labour force, and wealth distribution.
Why meaningful downsizing doesn't start at 65, it starts at 75, and what that means for timing
The $1 trillion generational wealth transfer, and why it's widening inequality rather than closing it
Senior housing: Canada's best-performing REIT category of 2025 (+62%) and the 450,000-unit supply gap by 2040
The trades labour cliff, 700,000 skilled workers retiring by 2029 and what it does to your construction and reno budgets
The small business succession crisis: $2 trillion in assets, 91% with no succession plan, and the ripple effect on commercial and residential real estate
