In this episode of The Canadian Mortgage Show, Alex Shanks sits down with Tyler McTaggart, a partner at Designer Capital and a multifamily construction specialist. They dive deep into the hidden risks of development and reveal why construction financing remains one of the last major avenues for money laundering. Tyler exposes the current threats facing commercial real estate, explaining how rising bond yields and increasing cap rates could trigger a massive drop in global commercial property values. The two also discuss how sudden CMHC rule changes are leaving investors stranded, the danger of the sunk cost fallacy in development, and why shrinking a building project is sometimes the only way to save it.

Welcome to episode 107 of the Canadian Mortgage Show. With Alex Pang currently away on vacation, Alex Shanks hosts this episode solo alongside special guest Justin White. Justin brings 30 years of business experience to the table as a real estate investor, trainer with Tony Robbins, and the founder of High Tide Real Estate Group

Justin's early entry into the real estate market, purchasing a four-bedroom home on acreage at age 23 for $179,000.

The psychological hurdles of business ownership. Justin discusses breaking the habit of people-pleasing and learning to say no to free up valuable time.

The changing economic landscape for Canadian homebuyers. We discuss how families are actively downsizing from large homes to manage rising daily living expenses.

Why first-time homebuyers need to drop their ego. Justin and Alex break down why using a co-signer is a smart strategy to get into the market sooner.

The unfiltered reality of moving to Vancouver Island and the Comox Valley. Justin balances the appeal of the outdoor lifestyle against dreary winters and increasing local traffic.

The impact of the 2023 Airbnb law changes on short-term rental investors. Justin shares how these regulations left furnished investment properties sitting empty and how investors are pivoting. The absolute necessity of working with transparent real estate advisors.

We discuss why the home buying process should provide clarity instead of high-pressure, car-dealership sales tactics.
