Ready to Experience the Power of Passive Real Estate Investing?

Take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to invest alongside Scott McGillivray and his team of trusted real estate professionals.

A real estate fund pools capital to invest in real estate, and in this case, specifically residential development projects. The fund takes an ownership stake in the underlying projects, and invests in the creation of new housing – condo development and/or purpose-built rentals. The fund then shares in the profitability of the projects, and passes that onto investors as a return.

Private Equity in real estate generally refers to raising capital from outside investors, called Limited Partners (LPs), to acquire, develop, improve, and either operate or sell real estate to generate returns for the investors.

The Scott McGillivray Real Estate Fund is open to Accredited and Eligible investors who are Canadian residents.

  • Accredited investors are generally those with net income before taxes of more than $200,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years and expected net income of more than $200,000 in the current calendar year. They also have net assets, alone or with a spouse, of at least $5 million.
  • Eligible investors are generally those with net income before tax exceeding $75,000 in the previous two calendar years, with an expectation to exceed that level in the current year, and net assets, alone or with a spouse, exceeding $400,000.

One of our partnering Exempt Market Dealers will happily help you through the qualification process to determine whether or not the investment is suitable for your specific situation.
