what to study
Private mortgage and development partnership libraries for investors putting capital to work.
- Private Mortgage Investing · Capital
Lend capital as a private mortgage investor — registered mortgage security, RRSP/TFSA options, and due diligence. Yields are deal-specific and not published as a product rate.
- Development Investing · Capital
Equity partnerships in real estate development projects — GP/LP structures, projected economics, and project due diligence. Equity is not a secured mortgage.
