Unlocking Capital with Private & CMHC Lending Strategies

Dalia Barsoum is the podcast guest for this week.

Founder of Streetwise Mortgages, a boutique brokerage that works primarily with real estate investors across Canada. She has funded over $1 billion in mortgage volume and helps investors scale their residential and multifamily portfolios.

After finding out that qualifying had become tougher due to rising interest rates and the stress test, she began to look for new programs to make deals work. She discovered net worth programs, self-employed programs, extended amortizations, and exceptions that could help investors.

She also saw an increase in private lending, with higher returns and scarcity around construction financing. Finally, she learned about the MLI Select program offered by CMHC, which offered an increased loan to values, reduced insurance premiums, better rates, and extended amortizations–all of which could help investors.

Dalia’s methods allowed her clients to make their deals work and their money work for them.
