Leveraging CMHC Rental Programs

Written by Ryan Turner
Partner, Ashdown Capital

 Over 30% of Canadians currently rely on rental housing as an alternative to homeownership. As Canada’s provider of mortgage loan insurance for multi-unit residential properties, CMHC ensures that Canadians’ rental housing needs are met, and supports government efforts to expand and preserve the supply of rental units across Canada. 

To facilitate these efforts, CMHC provides access to preferred rates that can substantially lower borrowing costs for the construction, purchase and refinancing of multi-unit residential properties, making it more attractive for builders and investors to build and hold rental properties.  As an example, a fully-leased rental building can secure 5-year rates 1% to 1.5% lower than conventional financing through CMHC, and can also secure 10-15 year rates locked-in at lower rates than 5-year conventional lending rates.

Ashdown recognized as
"New Business of the Year"

The Ashdown Capital team was honoured to receive the "New Business of the Year" Award at the 2019 Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

Meet the Partners

Along with their team of experienced commercial banking professionals, Brad Kiendl and Ryan Turner have channeled their entrepreneurial spirit, leaving their nine-to-five’s and embarking on this new journey. They left the banks in order to help their clients find the right financing package, regardless of which financing partner it comes from.

Brad is the founder of Ashdown Capital. After working for a Canadian bank, as well as a large international bank, Brad developed an in-depth understanding of bank credit approval processes, enabling him to tailor deals for each bank’s respective credit approval department. Further, he developed a thorough understanding of the pricing structures of individual institutions, and its relationship to risk, and uses this knowledge to initiate negotiations at the appropriate price point.

Ashdown's other partner, Ryan, spent nearly a decade working as a Commercial Relationship Manager, and the last three as a Regional Manager, leading a high-performing commercial banking team. During this time, Ryan developed an in-depth understanding of bank credit and pricing approval processes, having both written deals as a Relationship Manager, and approved deals as a Regional Manager.
Case Study:
Trinity Power Rentals
Trinity Power Rentals is a specialist provider of turn-key industrial and commercial temporary power solutions across North America. Before Trinity was introduced to Ashdown Capital, they had experienced multiple changeovers in account managers at their bank and were looking to expand into the US. After months of back-and-forth at their current bank, they had exhausted all avenues without reaching a feasible solution.

Brad at Ashdown Capital was able to help Trinity Power navigate the process of finding the best financing partners to meet their business goals. READ MORE
