The Developer's Playbook
Everything we know about building rental properties in Nova Scotia.
21 chapters. No upsell. No sales call. Just education.
Why is this free?
Most "free guides" are 12-page sales brochures designed to get you on a call. This is different.
It's 21 chapters of the actual knowledge we use to evaluate sites, structure deals, and build rental properties. We publish it because educated investors make better clients — and because most people who read it will never hire us, and that's fine.

What Readers Say
"The zoning chapter alone saved me from a $50,000 mistake. Finally, someone who explains development without trying to sell me something."
Sarah M. — First-time developer, Halifax"I've read a dozen guides on real estate development. This is the only one that covers the actual costs and the actual risks without sugarcoating. The failure modes chapter is worth the read alone."
James K. — Experienced investor, Dartmouth"As a municipal housing officer, I shared Part III with our planning committee. The site evaluation framework and municipal variance checklist are incredibly practical."
Laura T. — Housing officer, TruroBuilt for first-time developers, experienced investors, and municipal housing officers.
