Once you move to the sandbox of investing in apartment buildings of five-plus units, it's likely someone is going to have to provide personal guarantees on the financing!
How much of a concern is it? That's what I discuss in this post.

In this video, I share a few tips about how I was very successful at attracting capital to acquire apartment buildings using the very simple but powerful framework I learned as a multifamily underwriter at CMHC.
The bottom line is that you should approach your potential investors just like you would your banker.
Hi everyone!
CMHC recently made a second policy change, the second since the start of the pandemic, which I discuss in this video.
My last virtual multifamily workshop took place in late February was once again a big success with a high student rating over 9 out of 10, for the last 5 years in a row.

WOW!
To say that I'm super stoked about my upcoming virtual workshop this coming weekend is an understatement! This year, I'm adding two new CASE STUDIES demonstrating ADVANCED MULTIFAMILY INVESTING STRATEGIES. That's in addition to the other four case studies that were already in the course.
You see, the format of this training program is EXPERIENTIAL! This means I try to give you as much HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE within the context of a virtual classroom, and to me, this means fundamentally CRUNCHING NUMBERS FOR ACTUAL REAL MULTIFAMILY DEALS so that by the time you leave my class you're clear on what you need to do to have successful multifamily investments.
As in the past, I'm bringing back a recent graduate student of mine, Ricardo Chirinos, from my first virtual workshop last June to share his success story with my students. Can you believe it, in the last seven months since taking my workshop he's bought 28 doors in multifamily and...
Many people are often surprised to learn that they don't necessarily need a mortgage broker when applying for financing and that they can apply directly to a lender!
In this post, I discuss the pros and cons of working with a mortgage broker and offer you a massive cost-saving solution.

My observations, while I was a CMHC multifamily underwriter and through my personal experience of investing in multifamily properties during the 2009 Global Recession and during this Pandemic, both demonstrate how resilient and counter-cyclical this asset class is during such economically challenging times.
Larger apartment buildings of five-plus units clearly outperform other investment vehicles.
In this vlog post, I share the highlights of a report by CBRE called 'Canadian Multifamily in the Post-Pandemic Era' which once again confirms the resiliency of apartment buildings in recessionary times.
Please, stay healthy!

When you apply for financing for apartment buildings, whether for CMHC-insured financing or conventional financing, it's almost like your financing application is going into a BLACK HOLE and you're never sure what's going to come out of it!
You cannot predict with exact certainty how the bank and/or CMHC will treat your financing application.
There is no cookie-cutter approach for all deals!
You won't know for sure what loan amount they'll give you, what cap rate and vacancy rate they'll use in their pro forma, etc., and they won't commit to anything in advance until you've submitted all your supporting documents and each deal is underwritten on a case by case basis on its own merits.
In this post, I share with you four tips on how to somewhat reduce uncertainty and build your reputation in the business.
For your convenience, I've attached below the link to CMHC's Underwriting Reference Guide which I refer to in the post.

Wishing you well!

Knob and tube wiring is very common in older buildings. If you find knob and tube wiring in an apartment building it can have serious consequences. For one, it can be a fire hazard and you may not be able to get insurance for this property until the situation is rectified.
Rectifying the situation can be extremely costly as it entails opening up walls.
In this vlog post, I discuss knob and tube wiring with the amazing building inspector, Allan Spisak of ACISSS Home and Commercial Inspection Consultants (www. aciss.ca). I guarantee you you will not find a better and knowledgeable inspector in Canada.
