Who says theatrical releases are the exclusive movies that we review on these airwaves? Well, I think Garrett has made that exception for EVERYTHING in the world of Stephen King. I hope this answers why we are posting on a Wednesday. Between that and Adam/Matt wanting to go through this series like a tractor through an abandoned cornfield. Here's our review of the first direct to video installment in the Children of the Corn franchise! We'll review Part 4 on our regularly scheduled Friday and continue this style until its conclusion. Let's hope no one snaps by then and we no longer are friends.

Many put the mortgage approval process in the same category as a CRA audit or maybe a root canal. But is real estate financing always that painful? Not necessarily in the world of commercial real estate. This week Impact Commercial's Managing Partner, Alan Haigh, sits down with Adam & Matt to chart the many differences between commercial and residential real estate financing. Is it easier to get a commercial real estate loan than a residential mortgage? What are the main factors when a lender assesses a deal? And how can you take advantage of the different financing criteria to grow your investment portfolio? This episode lays bare commercial real estate lending, but Alan is also an avid investor himself and spells out where the opportunities are & where the market is headed in 2022. Level up!

We have been on a wild roller coaster ride straight out of the gate this year & haven't even hit the spring market yet. But does the market continue to soar or stutter from here? President & CEO of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Scott Brown sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss where we have been, where we are at, and most importantly where we are headed for the balance of 2022 and beyond. Do the Covid trends we have all discussed so much continue? Will interest rates send the market spiralling? And where are the opportunities right now? Here's to 2022!

The spring market has come early in Vancouver but almost no Sellers got the memo. Multiple offers, unconditional offers & record sale prices define the first weeks of the new year on the heels of record smashing 2021. What is going on? Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, Keith Stewart, sits down with Adam & Matt to talk current market conditions and the data that will drive smart decisions moving forward. And Keith pulls no punches. What do prices do this year? When can we expect more inventory & what shakes it loose? And when – and what – will lead to slower market conditions? This is a must listen for anyone interested in Vancouver real estate. The Devil, as they say, is in the details, so listen up!

Six homes on a standard lot in Vancouver! The City of Vancouver's 'Making HOME' initiative, brought forth by Mayor Kennedy Stewart and just passed by city council, promises density that has the potential to re-shape every neighbourhood in Vancouver. But will this transform real estate values in the city &, if so, exactly how? Professor Tom Davidoff sits down once again with Adam & Matt to discuss “Making HOME” (and who better - Tom presented his thoughts to city council right before the vote). Do current single family homeowners in Vancouver win as big as you expect? How quickly will the impact of “Making HOME” be felt and primarily in which areas of the city? And should first-time homebuyers hit the sidelines to wait for the impact of this “generational” policy shift? Tom, as always, also sticks around to talk the hot real estate topics of the day - interest rates, unrelentingly low inventory, where the market ends up at the end of 2022 & more. The future is now!

The pace of Canadian inflation is now higher than it has been since Boyz II Men dropped Motownphilly. Don't pretend you don't remember. But what do these inflation numbers & the ensuing consequences mean for your real estate & real-estate-related goals in 2022?  Mortgage Broker Kyle Green sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss this uncertain moment in the world of real estate financing. What strategies are available to deal with a potentially sharp rise in interest rates? Is now genuinly the time to lock in? And what do these surpising inflation numbers mean for the Vancouver real estate market overall in 2022? Bonus: Kyle gives his top investment hiot spots for this year! 

Everyone's talking about what's in store for the Vancouver real estate market in 2022 but what does the data actually suggest? President of REW.ca, Simon Bray, sits down with Adam & Matt this week to conduct a deep dive on the data collected from the most popular real estate search portal in the province. And his findings are nothing short of remarkable. Has the impact of Covid on the real estate market run its course? Where are young people searching for real estate today? Which neighborhood will be 2022's comeback kid? And will this year go down as the ‘year of the condo'? All this and a bag of chips on today's episode!

How do you find a deal in Vancouver real estate? This is a challenging but not impossible question to answer. Adam & Matt sit down this week (without a guest!) to do just that, outlining nine tried and true deal finding techniques for Vancouver real estate. Some of these will translate across time & place while others are specific to our post-Covid marketplace. The strategies outlined here could save you tens of thousands of dollars. Listen up!

Past Guest and Fan Favorite™ Justin Smith last joined us on the show in 2018 and it's safe to say a lot has changed since then.

What real estate makes sense in Vancouver currently? And how can you make big real estate moves without taking on more mortgage debt? This is a bird's eye view on some of North America's best investments. Grab a notebook!

Ask yourself this: is Vancouver a better city than it was four years ago? Mayoral Candidate Ken Sim doesn't think so & neither do those involved with his new movement, A Better City. Ken sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss the current state of Vancouver, the challenges and mishaps that took place during Covid & the massive potential he sees for our city in the immediate years to come. How can we create higher paying jobs? How should we tackle affordability? What role do we play in the West Coast & Pacific Rim? And which communities are ripe for improvement? This is an episode you will not want to miss. A better city is coming!

Six months ago, today's guests forecasted that prices in the Lower Mainland would see double digit increases in the next 1-3 years. This has already come true. Now they are back with another bold prediction about a lagging market that has the potential to play catchup in the coming months. And the increases may shock you. Ryan and Cameron join Adam & Matt in the studio for a wide-reaching conversation about all things real estate with a focus on today's opportunities. The time to act is now so listen up!

Does buying pre-construction make sense for homeowners and investors right now? The short answer: that depends. President of Key Marketing, Cam Good, and VP of Operations Nick Campbell sit down with Adam & Matt to discuss the number of factors that every potential buyer should consider before pulling the trigger on pre-construction. Where are the current opportunities in Metro Vancouver? Why does every potential buyer need to think like an investor? And, most importantly, how can you secure a home in this highly competitive market? Insider insight straight from the team in charge of the highly anticipated Melrose Tower in Surrey City Centre! A must listen!

If you don't know Dr. Ann McAfee you should and chances are you have benefitted from her life's work. Vancouver's first ever Housing Planner in 1974; the Co-Director of Planning with Larry Beasley, implementing plans now famously known as Vancouverism, in the 1990s; more recently a consultant to international cities in countries as varied as Australia, Sweden, Ukraine, the Philippines, and China; a current member of Canada's National Housing Council & a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Planners. And that's just citing a few of her accomplishments. Ann sits down with Adam & Matt to talk about her storied career spanning a wildly dynamic half century of planning in our city. Is Vancouver a product of its own success? Was Expo 86 really a turning point for the affordability crisis? Is ‘Burnabyism' the future for our region? And what is Ann's biggest regret from her time at the helm of Vancouver planning? A talk for the ages. Not to be missed! 

Jeff Poh is not our typical guest. He is not a celebrated politician or university economist. He hasn't built a condo tower or bought an investment property a month for years at a time. Jeff Poh is probably a lot like you: a bright person somewhere in their middle years with some investment wins and some losses under their belt. Jeff sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss what he has learned on his unfinished path to financial freedom. Why did Jeff sell Vancouver real estate during the pandemic? Where does he see current opportunities and how have those opportunities changed as his investing strategy has evolved? And what are some of the biggest mistakes that will keep you from Kokomo? This is an episode from the trenches that lead to the promised land. Listen up!

This week, real estate investors, Dave and Melanie Dupuis, join Adam & Matt to reveal their best investment tips, share their biggest mistakes, and take you through their step-by-step process for buying excellent revenue properties. We cover up-and-coming markets, vendor financing, and how to find a deal! The fall market has arrived – time to finish 2019 strong!

The Bloomberg Economics Dashboard just listed Canada as the second frothiest real estate market in the world in its “bubble rank”. Uh oh…we've been here before. But Is this time different? Mortgage Broker and owner of the Greene Mortgage Team, Kyle Greene, joins Adam & Matt to discuss the key indicators for bubbles and what the current indicators mean for the future of Vancouver & Canadian real estate. Kyle also sticks around to talk current interest rates & potential increases, investment opportunities he sees for the latter half of 2021 and beyond & his secrets for how to win in multiple offers! We asked Kyle back for a reason!

Revisiting Michael Ferreira’s State of the Union UDI address has become an annual event on our podcast. And, in the first half of 2021, what better time to reflect not only on the year it was in 2020 but also where the Vancouver real estate market is heading in 2021? This week, Principals Michael Ferreira & Jon Bennest from Urban Analytics join Adam & Matt for a far-reaching discussion on the current market trends, how the market has shifted, the hot presale market, and their outlook for the 2021.

Sometimes discussions on the future of Vancouver, our city’s real estate prices, and urban planning are too pie in the sky. Not today!

You like numbers & facts? We got numbers & facts!

This last year has been the year of all things “unprecedented”. Add one more to the list: an historically low interest rate environment that has helped turbo-charge the Vancouver real estate market.

One of Canada’s top, investment-focused Mortgage Brokers Kyle Green joins Adam & Matt to tackle this question, breaking down today’s lending environment and the varied strategies anyone can employ - from an aspiring first-time buyer to a long-time Vancouver homeowner to a seasoned real estate investor in aggressive growth mode (Bonus Material: Kyle's top Canadian market picks for 2021!).

This week, Managing Broker of William Wright Commercial & VREP Commercial Correspondent, Cory Wright, joins Adam & Matt to discuss the strengths and weaknesses in the commercial real estate market and highlight some HUGE opportunities.

The majority of people in the 1920s thought cars were a passing fad. So perhaps it's surprising that today we think cars will be here forever. They will not and what replaces them will have a huge impact on where you want to live and where you should invest. Transportation Expert, Carlton Reid, joins Adam & Matt to talk about the pending revolution and what that means for urban mobility and cities like Vancouver. What replaces the car? How will cities change? And how should this impact your investment decisions?

Professor Tom Davidoff, Associate Professor and Director of the UBC Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate at Sauder School of Business, joins Adam & Matt to cover all things Vancouver real estate.

This is an info-packed episode that is a must listen for any real estate enthusiast. Grab a handful of snack-sized chocolate bars and listen up! 

Does the global pandemic signal the death knell for global cities like Vancouver? The short answer is that may be the wrong question. The CEO of Remix, Tiffany Chu, sits down with Adam & Matt to discuss why the death of the city has been greatly exaggerated and instead outlines a decidedly positive take on the impact of Covid-19: the rise of the neighborhood centre. The re-focus on neighborhoods, with "slow streets," "streateries," and bike and pedestrian networks has supercharged the somewhat stalled desire for change among planners looking to make urban spaces more livable and resilient. The future is here if you know how to look! 

We’re so sick of post-covid terms like ‘new normal’, mostly because our current pandemic living no longer feels new or, for that matter, normal. So, is it surprising then that buyers seem to be making long term, major financial and lifestyle decisions based on the past six months alone? Maybe not. Today, Adam & Matt discuss current buying trends that seem to be here to stay - for at least the foreseeable future. Then, Emily Hamilton, Director of the Urbanity Project at Mercatus Center at George Mason University, joins us to cover the pain points that accompany blanket rezoning and how to troubleshoot density issues in major metropolitan cities. Increasing density in cities? Now that’s a ‘new normal’ we can get used to! Zone it up!

Back in May of this year, CMHC surprised many by predicting home prices would fall 9-18% and warned that Canadians were teetering on a debt-deferral cliff. Since then, amidst uncertainty, we have seen quite the opposite: home prices are up and debt-deferral, for many analysts, appears to be less of a concern. But despite the surprising activity in the housing market, President and CEO of CMHC, Evan Siddall, continues to sound the alarm, doubling down, even as many other risk managers appear to disagree. Today’s guest, David Larock, joins Adam & Matt to discuss why Siddall and CMHC seem to be taking such a strong stance against the analysis of other mortgage insurers, many in the real estate industry, and the personal assessments of many home buyers since Covid-19. Is Siddall’s ‘father knows best’ stance justified? Are there other factors potentially at play for Siddall? And should the President & CEO of a Crown Corporation be engaging in late night Twitter wars and calling out an entire industry? We know Evan Siddall may be mad as hell, but it is David Larock who is not taking it anymore on today’s episode! Now off to delete our Twitter account!

We hope this interview inspires you; it definitely inspired us. On this episode, Jason Turcotte, VP of Development at Cressey, and Craig Stanghetta, Principal and Founder of Ste. Marie and celebrated restauranteur, join Adam & Matt to unpack the market, the up-and-coming areas, and Cressey’s latest and entirely unique offering: “Format.” For several years, Jason and Craig have worked continuously on an innovative housing concept inspired by East Vancouver - a blank slate floor plan that buyers can actually control! Their “kit of parts” idea enables purchasers to pick and choose the functions of their home. In short, what works for you, the homeowner? And... who better than Craig Stanghetta, the man behind Vancouver’s trendiest restaurants (Pepino’s & Savio Volpe) to help guide you there! You always thought you were good at design. Now you will be (with Craig’s help).

You won't need a bullet-proof vest for this ride-along, but be sure to bring your notebook and pen, ya nerd. Roger that! Over and out.

Mark Hentemann ain’t your average family guy. Sure, he has a family (with slightly more than 2.4 kids) and, yes, he does in fact write and executive produce the tv show Family Guy. But that is absolutely where the similarities end. Is there anything average about owning 90 million dollars in Investment real estate in Los Angeles?

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads! It turns out Doc Brown got the future right when it came to one thing: cities. This week Adam & Matt sit down with the visionary planner & architect Vishaan Chakrabarti who cut his teeth in New York real estate as Director of City Planning in Manhattan and recently called for the banning of private cars in New York City. And that’s just one of his transformative ideas for how cities will change in the coming years. This episode provides a glimpse into the future of cities like Vancouver and those interested in real estate should take heed – it will not only impact your investment strategies but how you live. Now hand over your car keys.

We get it: finding cash flow positive properties in Vancouver is tough. No one knows that better than today’s guest, Shane Doyle, Founder & CEO at NationWide Self Storage. Shane went looking for the impossible in Vancouver and found it in self storage and car washes. But with our city’s steep land prices, neither could justify the investment on their own. But what about a car wash with self storage?! Shane sits down with Adam & Matt to talk best practices, understanding the details & exercising patience in finding the right deal. The result is an epic marriage of high cash producing properties with low overhead. And the best part: Shane is looking for investors. Listen up!

It’s not all doom and gloom but, as Vancouver cautiously reopens, the city you call home definitely needs you. Time to step up!

When was the last time you visited Kelowna? Chances are it's changed since then and the end is nowhere in sight. In fact, with luxury waterfront towers under construction, some of the country's lowest vacancy rates, an aggressive play for tech, and a push towards urbanization, Kelowna could very well be one of the best places in Canada to invest. This week, City of Kelowna Urban Planner, Ross Soward, joins Adam & Matt to highlight some of the critical changes the city has undertaken and some of its future plans. See the Okanagan through different eyes and this vision has bike lanes, urban trails, breweries, and a vibrant walkable urban centre. Trust us, this ain't your grandma's Kelowna.
