How Smart Investors Scale Beyond Traditional Mortgages

Most people think scaling means doing more deals. But what if scaling actually means thinking bigger about capital? In this episode, August Biniaz shares the real story behind walking away from a successful homebuilding career in Vancouver to build a real estate private equity firm focused on U.S. multifamily and development. After 10 years of momentum, reputation, and completed projects, he made the hardest decision of his life, to leave a profitable business at its peak and step into the unknown. The mindset shift is powerful: There’s a ceiling when you trade projects for profit. There’s no ceiling when you build platforms that raise capital. One key takeaway? Capital raising is not an event. It’s a system. You cannot turn it on only when you need money. It must run continuously, through relationships, content, compliance, and consistent investor communication. We break down: • The difference between value-add investing and development risk • What 15–20% annualized returns in multifamily actually mean • Why development targets 25–30% and why it’s riskier • How to build investor trust before you ever ask for capital And perhaps the biggest lesson: If you want to play at scale, you need systems, discipline, and the humility to evolve. This episode is based on a real conversation about reinvention, raising capital in Canada, investing in U.S. multifamily, and designing a life that integrates business, health, and family.
