If you’ve invested in a pre-construction property in Canada, you might be facing some tough financial realities right now. Many investors who bought pre-construction homes during the market boom are now struggling to close, as property values have dropped and banks are appraising homes for far less than their original purchase price.

In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast, real estate lawyer Gordon Kallio breaks down the legal and financial challenges investors are facing when trying to back out of these deals. He shares real-life examples of clients who are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, facing lawsuits from developers, and even refinancing their primary residences just to close.

Gordon also offers key legal insights on what investors should have done to protect themselves—and what they can do now if they’re stuck in a bad deal. Whether you’re an investor caught in this situation or looking to avoid it in the future, this episode is packed with crucial advice.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ Why so many pre-construction investors are in financial trouble ✔️ The legal risks of walking away from a pre-construction deal ✔️ How developers are holding investors accountable for losses ✔️ Strategies to minimize financial damage if you’re stuck in a bad deal ✔️ What you should always have in your contract before signing
