Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.137 | $400M AUM, Zero Principal Lost w/ Yitz Levinson
Q: What is your exit strategy philosophy, especially in a volatile market?
The key is to focus on preservation of capital and ensure there is a viable exit strategy for every deal; we prefer shorter terms with clear exit paths, and we adjust the mix between REZ, commercial, and construction to stay aligned with risk and market conditions.
Ep.137 | $400M AUM, Zero Principal Lost w/ Yitz Levinson
Q: Can you walk us through your fund structure and how you manage your investor base as well?
Yes, we are a Mortgage Mutual Fund Trust (MFT) with an offering memorandum governing our activities; our portfolio is diversified across residential, commercial, and construction, and our investor base is largely accredited individuals with some being even higher net worth, including access to RSPs and TFSAs; decisions are fast due to internal structures and the OM.
Ep.138 | $20K Down Loans, 50 Years of Lending & Rebranding the Industry w/ Dean Koeller
Q: What were the core drivers behind bringing appraisers in-house, and how does that impact deals?
Koeller explains that in-house appraisers speed up closings, improve pricing accuracy, and provide reliable after-repair-value data, which translates into faster, more competitive deals and better investor confidence.
Ep.138 | $20K Down Loans, 50 Years of Lending & Rebranding the Industry w/ Dean Koeller
Q: Can you walk us through your evolution in the mortgage space and how Calvert today fits into that history?
Dean Koeller outlines starting in 1975, joining his father in building a lender/broker model, expanding across Western Canada, and maintaining a focus on real estate investors through in-house appraisals and tight underwriting to support rapid closings and predictable outcomes.
Ep.139 | $1 Billion, 40 People & Zero Gated Funds: Inside Canada's Biggest Public MIC
Q: Why did Atrium choose to go public and how does permanent capital affect operations?
Atrium pursued permanent capital to access stable, long-term funding that reduces the need for frequent fund gates, thereby maintaining investor and borrower trust and allowing a steadier, scalable growth path without relying on short-term fund-raising cycles.
