What's specific in Vancouver
Vancouver has Canada's highest concentration of Accredited Investors (because of high real estate equity in Vancouver homeowners), but paradox: BC exempt market is very limited due to high prices + low cap rates. Most Vancouver-based exempt market opportunities are private credit (debt to BC developers), not equity ownership. Better strategy for Vancouver high-net-worth: diversify into Calgary/Edmonton exempt market through me (NRD #4575551, AB-registered, BC-registered) — your $100-300K in a Calgary multi-family MIC or industrial syndication delivers 2× better returns than the BC equivalent. I fly Vancouver-Calgary regularly for in-person meetings with BC clients.
