Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

(33) 4-Plex to Mid-Rise: Best Development Opportunities in the GTA - Blair Scorgie - Scorgie Planning
Q: How do fourplexes plus garden or laneway suites fit within development charges and zoning?
The fourplex plus garden or laneway suite concept is becoming more feasible as city-by-law amendments and multiplex recommendations move toward exempting certain adds from development charges, though timing and approvals depend on council actions and potential appeals.
(33) 4-Plex to Mid-Rise: Best Development Opportunities in the GTA - Blair Scorgie - Scorgie Planning
Q: What are the smallest-scale options that can add housing without major, costly changes?
Accessory dwelling units, including basement, laneway, and garden suites, are the low-hanging fruit and can be implemented with relatively straightforward rules, offering flexible space for aging in place, home offices, or rental income while remaining behind the main dwelling.
(38) Financing Purpose-Built Rentals - Max Goyzman - Peakhill Capital
Q: How does CMHC financing compare to conventional bank financing for a rental project?
CMHC offers insured financing with long amortizations and potential for lower upfront costs, but it requires adherence to program rules, bonding where needed, and occupancy/lease-up conditions; conventional lending can be faster for testing the market but may lack the long-term leverage and stability of CMHC when aiming for a large, stabilized rental portfolio.
(38) Financing Purpose-Built Rentals - Max Goyzman - Peakhill Capital
Q: What are the biggest red flags or mistakes for new developers when approaching financing?
Get ahead of financing early, align with experienced partners, have fixed-price contracts or two-thirds of hard costs fixed, and maintain strong liquidity and contingency outside the project to strengthen the application.
(38) Financing Purpose-Built Rentals - Max Goyzman - Peakhill Capital
Q: So if I come to you asking for $30 million to run a project, CMHC might cover about 95 percent of the construction cost; is that right?
Yes, CMHC can cover up to about 95 percent of construction cost, which means roughly $19 million on a $20 million construction budget; the equity comes from the balance and other sources, depending on the deal structure.
