Show hosts Daniel Foch and Nick Hill bring experience, fresh takes, well-researched information and entertainment to a real estate investing podcast for Canadians.

The Canadian Real Estate Investor

We discuss how modular construction and prefabricated housing can address Canada's housing crisis through improved labor productivity. The hosts examine Canada's productivity challenges compared to the US, particularly in construction, and explore innovative building methods that could accelerate housing production despite an aging workforce.
 
 • Canada needs to double its housing construction to approximately 430,000-480,000 annual starts to restore affordability, but faces barriers including labor shortages and weak productivity in residential construction⁠⁠.
 • A "silver tsunami" of retirements will remove about 270,000 construction workers (one-fifth of the workforce) over the next decade, creating an urgent need for productivity improvements⁠⁠.
 • Innovative methods like modular construction can reduce build times by 20-50%, while mass timber requires half the workforce of concrete builds and speeds construction by 30%

Is Canadas Construction Industry Prepared for The Silver Tsunami Of Retirements?

We explore whether Canada is moving toward a "renters economy" where more people rent homes rather than own them. It examines historical housing trends, current market conditions, and international comparisons to assess if Canada is following countries like Germany where renting is normalized. 
 
 • "You'll own nothing and be happy" represents a subscription-based future economy
 • Canadian homeownership rose from 40% (1940) to 60% (1970s) due to post-WWII government policies
 • Millennials face the highest barriers to homeownership
 • Current construction favors rental units (108,000) over condos, boosted by CMHC incentives
 • Germany normalizes renting with strong tenant protections, 11-year average tenancies
 • Real estate makes up 28% of Canada's GDP, possibly diverting investment from more productive sectors
 • A rental economy shift could improve tenant protections and amenities while increasing property values
 • Canada appears to be gradually shifting toward a rental-focused housing landscape

Are We Headed Towards A Renters Economy ?

We open the show with an institutional perspective on the housing market and close it with our hosts who provide boots on the ground updates 
 
 • RBC/BMO Forecast: Home resales are down, but a rebound is expected in 2026, tempered by affordability, labor market, and immigration challenges.
 • Regional Differences: Prairies and Atlantic Canada are more stable; Ontario and B.C. face imbalances, with prices dropping into 2026.
 • Affordability & Pent-Up Demand: Lower rates and prices offer some relief, but affordability remains a key constraint, and improvements slow population growth.
 • High Inventory: Ontario and B.C. are flooded with homes for sale, giving buyers more power while sellers need to compete for a strong come back.

Record Number Of Canadians Leaving & Taking Their Capital With Them

Toronto's Housing Policy Changes: Toronto now allows sixplexes in select areas and is waiving development charges for up to 6 units per lot, saving developers approximately $50-80k per unit.

 • Economic Impact: Multiplexes offer a more accessible entry point for small-scale developers, with construction costs around $275/sq ft (less than half the cost of custom homes) and project timelines of 9-12 months.
 • Investment Strategy: "Buy, Add Units, Rent, Refinance" is emerging as a new value-creation approach for investors, replacing traditional BRRR strategies in saturated markets.
