Real Estate Investing Demystified | August Biniaz on Wealth, Deals & Growth
The episode features August Bidz, co‑founder and CIO of CPI Capital, discussing how his 15‑year real‑estate career evolved from single‑family construction in Vancouver to a cross‑border private‑equity platform that gives Canadian investors exposure to U.S. multifamily assets. Bidz explains that real‑estate private equity is far more complex than traditional buying, involving capital raising, debt structuring, and various business models such as value‑add and build‑to‑rent. He notes that U.S. multifamily value‑add deals have historically outperformed the S&P 500 and offer higher yields than Canada’s rent‑controlled market, making them attractive for syndication. He cites a favorite maxim: “If you invest in real estate, worst comes to worst you can move into it,” and likens Iran’s regime to a cancer, with U.S. and Israeli actions as chemotherapy—illustrating how personal geopolitics shape his investment outlook. The conversation underscores a growing niche: diaspora entrepreneurs leveraging their networks to bridge capital between Canada and the United States, while navigating regulatory constraints and geopolitical risk, a trend that could reshape North‑American multifamily financing.
