Grande Prairie, Alberta · Real estate investment · Since 2006
He was 24, driving to a job
he didn't want,
when he did the
math...
Most Canadians know real estate builds wealth — they just can't figure out how to get in without the headaches. Fresh Coast gives serious investors a fully managed, asset-backed path to hands-free returns.
The operator
From the trades to $47 million —
Aaron's story
Aaron was 24 years old when a friend mailed him a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He was an apprentice pipe-fitter. Tricia, had just told him she was pregnant with their first son. On the drive to work one morning, he did the math on three rental properties and realized he could retire at 50 with $1M in equity and $60K a year in cash flow.
He was hooked. By 27, he'd quit the trades for good. He chose Grande Prairie, developed his furnished rental model generating 2–3× the profit of unfurnished units, and spent the next two decades building one of the most consistent residential portfolios in Alberta.
The market
Why Grande Prairie — and why it works
Most investors chase Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. They pay peak prices and wonder why the numbers don't pencil. Grande Prairie is different. Aaron has been here 19 years and knows this market at street level.
The process
Simple by design. Profitable by intention.
Investor stories
What long-term investing with FreshCoast actually looks like
Every investor started somewhere. Here's where some of them are now. Names used with permission. Full case studies available to qualified investors.
Two ways to invest
Same portfolio. Same operator. Different structure.
FreshCoast works with investors across two structures. Both get access to the same proven portfolio and the same hands-free experience. The difference is how you participate.
Ready to put your capital to work?
The first step is a conversation. No pitch, no pressure — just Aaron, your questions, and an honest discussion about whether FreshCoast is the right fit for where you're trying to go.
Common questions
The questions most investors ask before booking a call
If something's holding you back, the answer is probably here. If it's not, that's what the call is for.
How is this different from buying real estate on my own?
When you invest on your own, you're also taking on the job of finding the deal, managing the property, handling tenants, and navigating the market. FreshCoast removes all of that. You provide capital. Aaron and his team handle everything else, sourcing, renovation, furnishing, tenant management, accounting, and reporting. You collect returns without the second job.
Do I need to be an accredited investor?
Not necessarily. FreshCoast works with both accredited and non-accredited investors, though the investment structures and minimums differ depending on which category you fall into. Aaron will walk through the options on your first call and make sure you're in the right structure for your situation. If you're unsure whether you qualify as accredited, that's a common question, Aaron will help you figure it out.
What does "hands-free" actually mean in practice?
It means exactly what it says. Once your capital is deployed, you don't field tenant calls, manage repairs, handle bookkeeping, or make day-to-day decisions. FreshCoast manages all of it. What you do receive is regular reporting so you always know how your investment is performing, and Aaron is always reachable if you have questions. The only thing you do is file your taxes at year end, using the summary FreshCoast provides.
How does FreshCoast make money?
FreshCoast only profits when investors profit. On cash investments, FreshCoast earns from the spread between what properties generate and what's paid out. On joint ventures, profits are split 50/50 , Aaron gets nothing extra unless the property performs. There are no hidden management fees on top of returns. The structure is designed so Aaron's financial interest is fully aligned with yours.
How do I know my investment is safe?
Every FreshCoast investment is backed by real, titled Alberta real estate — not a stock, not a fund, not a promise. Your capital is secured against physical property with intrinsic value. FreshCoast has been operating for 19 years through recessions, oil price crashes, and a global pandemic without losing an investor's capital. Aaron co-invests in every deal, which means his own money is subject to the same conditions as yours. That alignment matters.
What's the minimum investment to get started?
FreshCoast investments start at $25,000. The right structure — whether a promissory note, a joint venture, or a combination — depends on your capital level and your goals. Aaron will match the right opportunity to where you are. The first step is a conversation, not a commitment.
