Mortgage Strategies in Today's Market
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
We interview Andrew Galea, a prominent mortgage broker with MortgagePal in Toronto.
Today's real estate market is filled with uncertainty. Prices are still high, and although there was a recent interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada, a lot of people are still sitting on the fence when it comes to buying real estate.
Is now a good time to buy?
Will interest rates go down further?
Will prices rebound, or will they go down further as well?
Andrew quotes the great Warren Buffett when he says, "Be nervous when other people are greedy, and be greedy when other people are nervous."
Topics include:
- why the big banks in Canada have to adhere to the Stress Test, while certain credit unions do not
- how each bank is tied to a specific credit reporting company (there are 3), and how a good mortgage professional knows the differences
- should you even consider a variable rate mortgage now that rates appear to be headed down?
- how to have a strategy regarding purchasing a rental property
- whether it makes sense to look at purchasing real estate in Alberta
- and much more!
Andrew shares several great insights and actionable tips in the podcast. You can reach him at andrew.galea@mortgagepal.ca

Pre-Construction Condos in 2024 - What You Need to Know
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Today we interview Debbie Cosic, Founder and CEO of In2ition Realty, a major marketing company in the pre-construction real estate market in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Buying pre-construction condos has been a winning strategy in the Toronto area over the past 15 to 20 years. The timelag between purchase and completion allowed for price appreciation, so that when the building was complete, buyers already had a capital gain built in.
Debbie and I review the process on how to buy pre-construction properties. We cover the basics, from worksheets to deposit structure, from interim occupancy to final closing. Learn how the process works.
Today's real estate market has changed due to higher interest rates. A lot of people are expecting interest rates to go down in the future. Will buying a pre-construction condo now benefit from possible lower rates when the final closing occurs?
Investing in real estate has its risks and rewards. Get great insider insight from our talk today.

The Shocking Truth about Canada's Never-Ending Housing Crisis
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Today we interview John Krpan, a well-known real estate developer in the west end of the Greater Toronto Area.
John Krpan is the CEO of The Krpan Group, a vertically integrated real estate company that has built over 15,000 residences in Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton. His company builds residential, commercial, and industrial properties across the region, and has a specialty - they are experts in obtaining approvals for development, whether dealing with the province, the regions, or the various municipalities.
We talk about 15 minute cities, "smart cities", where people are able to live, work, shop, and play within a 15 minute radius. The old paradigms of city versus suburb have been replaced with new ideas. John goes into detail about a recent major project they are doing in Waterdown, Ontario.
We also discuss the state of real estate in Canada. Canada is currently in a real estate crisis, where the demand for housing vastly exceeds supply. The result has been sky-high prices for properties to buy or rent.
Can it be fixed? The truth is, there are many impediments to building enough homes for everyone, including governmental red tape, NIMBY pressures, high interest rates, and the cost of construction. Find out answers to these and other questions in this podcast.
