Got Questions?
Everything you need to know before building your first $2.5M multifamily asset.
I've never done a development project. Isn't this way over my head?
That's the whole point. You don't need experience—that's what we're here for. We handle design, permits, construction, CMHC financing, and lease-up. Your job is to own the building at the end. We do everything else.
How much cash do I actually need to get started?
You'll need $400K–$500K liquid for the land purchase, soft costs, and initial construction draws. The good news: you get it all back through the CMHC refinance once the building is done and stabilized.
I don't have land. Can I still do this?
Yes. We help you find and buy the right infill lot with as little as 35% down. Every site we recommend is already vetted for zoning, CMHC criteria, and strong appraisal potential.
What type of land works for these builds?
We focus on RS-zoned infill lots in high-demand Edmonton neighborhoods. Before we recommend anything, we've already checked servicing, density allowances, zoning, and comparable sales data.
How long does this take from start to finish?
12–14 months from land purchase to refinance. You'll have access to a project dashboard that tracks every milestone, so you always know where things stand and when you'll hit your refinance date.
I don't want to babysit contractors or chase down updates.
You won't have to. We manage architecture, engineering, permits, construction, financing, and leasing—all under one roof. You get visibility through your dashboard without lifting a finger.
Can I visit the site or weigh in on design decisions?
Absolutely. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. Most clients stay passive, but you're always welcome at design meetings or site visits. It's your building.
What if construction drags on longer than planned?
Delays are rare because we use realistic timelines and factor in city permit schedules upfront. If something unexpected happens, you'll know immediately through your dashboard with updated timelines. No surprises.
What if costs go over budget halfway through?
They won't. We use a fixed-price contract, so your total project cost is locked in before we break ground. No surprise overruns. No change-order games.
How do you make sure the appraised value hits the target?
We design for it from day one—using CMHC specs, experienced appraisers, and real-time comparable data. Our past projects have consistently appraised $400K–$600K above total build cost.
What kind of returns should I expect?
Most projects generate $400K–$500K in equity gain, plus $2K–$3K/month in net cash flow. You own 100% of the building with zero dollars left in after refinancing.
Why not just buy an existing multifamily instead of building one?
Because you'd be paying retail—$200K–$400K more—and making the builder wealthy instead of yourself. You'd also tie up capital, get lower returns, and inherit someone else's building. When you develop, you manufacture the equity yourself.
What if CMHC rules change or I don't qualify?
We pre-screen your financials and structure your project to meet CMHC's current MLI Select criteria before you commit a dollar. Our entire model is built around CMHC compliance—it's what we do.
What if interest rates spike before I refinance?
Every project is stress-tested for higher rates and still qualifies under CMHC MLI Select. Plus, CMHC's insured terms lock in fixed 10-year or 50-year amortizations, so you're protected from volatility once you close.
Do I have to personally guarantee the construction loan?
Yes. That said, we work with lenders who specialize in CMHC construction loans and know how to minimize personal exposure.
Isn't Edmonton overbuilding infills? Won't that tank values and rents?
No. That's a myth. Infill housing only makes up 30–34% of new housing approvals each year, and the city is actively pushing for more. After Edmonton's 2023 zoning reform, row housing approvals jumped from 146 units/year (2019–2023) to over 1,200 units in 2024. The city even launched an Infill Infrastructure Fund to support more projects. Infill isn't flooding the market—it's catching up to demand and city-backed policy to increase density.
How do I know this actually works?
We'll walk you through completed Edmonton projects with real numbers: $2M total cost, $2.5M appraised value, $500K capital pulled out, $2K+/month cash flow. Real deals. Real data.
Will the property actually cash flow, or will it sit empty?
We pre-lease your building before possession and connect you with property managers at preferred rates. It's fully rented and producing income from day one.
Can I do more than one project at a time?
Yes. Several clients build multiple properties in sequence or simultaneously. Once your first project refinances, you can recycle that capital into the next one. Our team can manage multiple builds at once for portfolio growth.
