Quotables
“The one thing I learned doing this mortgage agent role is that you think that’s the way, and then half of these people are doing creative financing deals and never touching a bank.” “The thing is when you look at CHMC, you gotta understand that the product is there not for people doing 8-plexes, 12-plexes, maybe the guys who do 24 are now on the radar – it is for the big builders.”
“The problem with doing commercial conversions is there’s still the downside that our costs are a little bit higher because we do now have to put Ontario builder code minimums and then if you wanna do CHMC, you gotta do energy efficiency 40+ bedrooms.”
