It has been proven that real estate investments
outperform the majority of investment strategies
over the long-term. Yet, various challenges associated
with typical “Buy & Hold” real estate investing
often impact your projected financial rewards. The uncertainty that accompanies the “Terrible
T’s” (Tenants & Toilets) is the most
significant reason for investors avoiding
real estate and/or not find

ing the success
they had planned for. The thought of
investing in real estate often stimulates visions
of doubt. It may seem difficult to imagine investing in
real estate that is secure, guaranteed and
hassle free. However, this is exactly what
Fresh Coast Investments has to offer you.

Investing in real estate doesn't have to mean becoming a landlord.

If you want exposure to Canadian real estate without tenants, maintenance calls, or day-to-day property management, there are several ways to invest passively.

Here are four common options:

• REITs: Easy to buy and sell, but exposed to stock market volatility.

• Real Estate Crowdfunding: Access specific projects with lower minimums, but your capital may be locked in for years.

• Private Mortgage Lending: Earn fixed returns by acting as the lender, with the loan secured by real estate.

• Co-Investing: Partner with an experienced operator and participate in the cash flow and potential appreciation of real property without managing it yourself.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we specialize in hands-free real estate investing through two structures:

Joint Ventures for investors seeking equity participation and profit-sharing, and Promissory Notes for those looking for fixed, predictable returns.

We handle the acquisitions, furnishings, tenants, property management, and accounting.

You get the financial benefits of real estate investing without turning property management into your second job.

While many major Canadian real estate markets are slowing, Grande Prairie continues to move in a different direction.

The latest market data shows:

• Median sold price reached $415,000.
• Prices are up 6.1% year-over-year.
• July saw a 3.9% month-over-month increase, the strongest monthly gain of 2026 so far.
• Housing supply remains tight as demand continues to grow.

What does this mean for investors?

Rising property values combined with strong rental demand can create an attractive environment for both equity growth and consistent cash flow.

Rate stability is adding another layer of predictability. With the Bank of Canada holding its overnight rate at 2.25% and prime remaining at 4.45%, investors can better forecast financing costs and long-term returns.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we focus on furnished residential real estate in Grande Prairie, backed by 19 years of experience in this market and more than $47 million in assets under management.

For investors looking beyond Toronto and Vancouver, Grande Prairie continues to show why smaller, economically driven markets deserve attention.

Many people assume you need to be ultra-wealthy to become an Accredited Investor in Canada.
That's not always the case.

You may already qualify without realizing it.

You could be an Accredited Investor if you meet one of these criteria:

• Personal annual income over $200,000 (or $300,000 combined with a spouse) for the past two years.
• More than $1M in financial assets.
• More than $5M in net assets.

Why does it matter?

Because Accredited Investors can access private investment opportunities that aren't available through traditional public markets.

At Fresh Coast Investments, that includes professionally managed real estate through Promissory Notes for fixed returns or Joint Ventures for long-term equity growth.

No tenants. No maintenance calls. No day-to-day management.

Just a strategy designed to help your capital work harder.

If you're an Accredited Investor, it may be time to explore opportunities beyond traditional investing.

The latest numbers are in, and Grande Prairie continues to show why it's one of our favourite markets for long-term investing.

Here's what July 2026 looks like:
• Only 154 active listings on the market.
• 643 homes sold year-to-date.
• An average sale price of $401,250, up 5.1% from last year.

Sales volume is slightly lower than 2025, but not because demand has disappeared.
There simply aren't enough homes available to meet it.

For investors, that's an important distinction.
Low inventory helps support property values, while Alberta's strong economy continues to attract workers and create demand for quality housing.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we don't chase headlines.
We focus on acquiring properties that fit our proven furnished rental strategy, generating strong cash flow while benefiting from long-term appreciation.

Strong fundamentals. Disciplined investing. Long-term growth.

Many people ask us the same question:
"Should I invest through a Promissory Note or a Joint Venture?"

The answer depends on what you want your money to do.
Here's the difference.

A Promissory Note is ideal if you're looking for predictable, passive income.
• Fixed returns.
• Defined investment term.
• No landlord responsibilities.
• Your investment is secured against Alberta real estate.

A Joint Venture (JV) is built for long-term wealth.
• Co-own an investment property.
• Share in monthly cash flow.
• Benefit from property appreciation and mortgage paydown.
• Grow your equity over time.

Neither option requires you to manage tenants, maintenance, or day-to-day operations.

That's our job.
The real question isn't which structure is better.
It's which one aligns with your financial goals.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we help investors choose the strategy that fits their timeline, risk tolerance, and vision for long-term growth.

Real estate isn't just about buying the right property.

It's about investing in the right economy.

Right now, Alberta is leading Canada by a wide margin.
While Canada's economy is projected to grow by 0.8% in 2026, Alberta is expected to grow by 2.6%. That's more than 3× the national rate.

So what's driving it?
• A resilient energy sector with continued investment across the province.
• Strong agriculture and forestry industries that diversify the economy.
• High-paying jobs that continue to attract workers and businesses.

For real estate investors, this matters.
Economic growth creates jobs. Jobs attract people. People need housing.

That's exactly why Grande Prairie continues to see strong rental demand, low vacancy rates, and a steady flow of high-quality tenants.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we've built our $47M portfolio around these fundamentals, not speculation.

Markets change.

Strong economic fundamentals create long-term opportunities.

Most investors think rental investing looks like this:
Buy a unit. Find a tenant. Sign a one-year lease.

There's nothing wrong with that model.
But it's not the model that built our portfolio.

At Fresh Coast Investments, we focus on fully furnished rentals because they consistently generate 2-3× the profit of traditional unfurnished units.

Why?

Because we're not just renting space. We're providing a move-in-ready home.
Our tenants arrive with a suitcase. Furniture, utilities, internet... everything is ready from day one.
That convenience creates value, and value commands a premium.

Our tenants include corporate professionals, skilled tradespeople, traveling healthcare workers, and families relocating to Grande Prairie. They want flexibility, comfort, and quality.

Managing furnished rentals isn't passive. It takes the right systems, experience, and operational expertise.

After 19 years, a $47M portfolio, and 148 furnished units under management, we've built exactly that.

Real estate investing isn't just about owning property.

It's about choosing the right strategy for the right market.

Every week, someone asks us some version of this question:

"Is Grande Prairie actually a good market to invest in, or is it just where you happen to be based?"

It's a fair question. Here's the honest answer.

Grande Prairie is not a market we chose because of proximity. It's a market we chose because of fundamentals — and those fundamentals have only strengthened in 2026.

Three things make it compelling right now:

1. A diversified, resilient economy. Energy, agriculture, and forestry create a stable employment base that doesn't rise and fall with a single sector. That employment base drives consistent, non-speculative housing demand.

2. Accessible entry prices with strong yields. The average home price is ~$417K — well below the provincial benchmark. Lower acquisition costs relative to rental income means stronger cap rates and better cash-on-cash returns than you'll find in Calgary or Edmonton.

3. One of the tightest supply environments in Canada. Alberta sits at 2.7 months of supply provincially. In Grande Prairie, homes are selling at 99.72% of asking price. This isn't a market where investors are competing with oversupply.

We're not suggesting Grande Prairie is perfect or without risk. Every market has cycles. But the combination of economic fundamentals, supply constraints, and yield potential makes it one of the strongest investment cases in Western Canada right now.

Let's be honest about something the real estate industry rarely admits:

Most "passive income" from real estate isn't passive at all.

You hire a property manager. But when the roof needs replacing, you're the one approving the capital expenditure. When a tenant stops paying, you're the one funding the eviction process. When a major repair hits, you're the one making the call at 11pm.

The mental load doesn't disappear just because you've outsourced the phone calls.

True passive income requires a different structure entirely — one where you are a capital partner, not an operational one.

That's the model we've built at Fresh Coast Investments. We co-purchase revenue properties in Grande Prairie alongside our investors. Because we share in the ownership, our interests are perfectly aligned with yours. We are motivated to keep vacancies low, maintain the asset efficiently, and maximize your return — because it's our return too.

Your role: deploy capital. Receive monthly distributions. Review performance updates.

Our role: everything else.

We've been executing this model in the Grande Prairie market for years. Investors like Bruce and Bernadette started with a single co-investment, built a portfolio of multi-family properties, and are now fully retired — their income generated entirely without their involvement.

That's what genuine passive income looks like.

Single-family rentals are how most investors start.

Multi-family is how they scale.

Here's the math that changes the conversation:

If a tenant vacates a single-family rental, your vacancy rate is 100%. The mortgage doesn't pause. The insurance doesn't pause. The property taxes don't pause. You absorb the full cost.

If a tenant vacates one unit in a 6-plex, your vacancy rate is 16%. The other five units continue to generate income. The property continues to cash flow.

That's not just a risk management advantage — it's a structural one. And in Alberta's current market, where 2.7 months of supply is keeping demand high and vacancies low, multi-family properties are performing exceptionally well.

The challenge? The capital requirement to acquire a 4-plex, 6-plex, or apartment building is significant. That's exactly why our co-investment model exists. We pool capital with our partners to acquire multi-family assets in Grande Prairie — a market where entry prices remain more accessible than Calgary or Edmonton, but rental demand is just as strong.

You get the economies of scale. We handle the operations. You collect monthly cash flow.
