Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.102 | Inside Alta West Capital’s Expansion, Innovation & the Future of Private Lending
Q: But, can you tell me a little about Alta West?
Alta West started as a Calgary-based second mortgage lender in 1991 and evolved into a first mortgage lender. They now rely on a diversified funding mix of private investors and institutional lenders, including a Lifeco line, which enables lower rates and scalable growth.
Ep.103 | How Glass Lake Funding Redefined Private Lending in Canada | Mike Forshee
Q: Can you touch on your loan types or the different avenues you go down in terms of lending territories?
Glass Lake focuses on the self-employed and borrowers who have just missed B20, with a minimum FICO of 650, aiming for longer terms and stickier renewals, while maintaining discipline and avoiding overexposure in any single market. They also pursue larger, opportunistic deals where the asset, sponsor, and administrator are solid, and use Bayview Life and Annuity as a funding source to support longer durations.
Ep.101 | No-Fee Lending, Investor Confidence, and Market Strategy with Reaza Ali
Q: How do you manage growth and investor capital to maintain liquidity and ensure exits for borrowers?
We rely on a large, diversified investor base (about 2,500 investors) and strong capital management to keep a steady flow of capital, with underwritten loans chosen for timely exits within one to two years, and ongoing investor relations to maintain liquidity and returns.
Ep.101 | No-Fee Lending, Investor Confidence, and Market Strategy with Reaza Ali
Q: Can you summarize the main product differentiator you offer to mortgage brokers and their clients?
Our main differentiator is offering first mortgages with no lender fees, which makes the product more attractive to clients and allows brokers to earn reasonable broker fees, while preserving yield through alternative structures like adding broker fees to adjust yield versus rate.
Ep.105 | Inside RiverRock MIC: Nick Kyprianou
Q: What's your macro view of RiverRock's strategy and how you operate today?
RiverRock targets urban-suburban markets with an emphasis on fast, predictable decisions, four-hour turnarounds, and being a true partner to borrowers by offering proactive solutions and, when needed, aggressive collection to protect the portfolio.
