Why FreshCoast

What serious investors get that they can't get anywhere else

Most real estate operators are either too small to take you seriously or too large to give you any attention. FreshCoast sits in the middle intentionally — and that's exactly where the advantage is.

01

Direct access to the operator

You partner directly with Aaron Bellmore — founder, operator, and co-investor. No intermediaries, no account managers. When you call, Aaron picks up.

02

Real assets, not paper

Every dollar is deployed into real, titled Alberta real estate. Your investment is backed by physical property with intrinsic value — not a fund unit or a spreadsheet entry.

03

Aligned incentives

Aaron co-invests in every deal alongside you. FreshCoast only profits when investors profit. That alignment isn't a pitch — it's the structure of every single deal.

04

19 years of market depth

Aaron has operated in Grande Prairie since 2006. He knows the streets, the landlords, the contractors, and the demand cycles. That knowledge can't be replicated by an outside investor.

05

Personalized investment plan

Every investor gets a plan built around their goals — growth, cash flow, capital preservation, or a combination. There's no one-size product. Aaron builds it with you.

06

Proven through every cycle

The FreshCoast portfolio has operated through oil price crashes, a global pandemic, and rising interest rates. The portfolio is intact and growing. Track record matters.

Do you qualify?

Who this is for and what accredited means in Canada

Investment opportunities with FreshCoast are available exclusively to accredited investors as defined under National Instrument 45-106 of Canadian securities law. You may qualify if any of the following apply to you.

Net financial assets over $1M — individually or together with a spouse, excluding the value of your primary residence
Net assets of at least $5M — individually or together with a spouse
Annual income over $200,000 — in each of the two most recent years, with a reasonable expectation of the same this year
Combined spousal income over $300,000 — in each of the two most recent years
Minimum investment of $150,000 — and have signed a risk acknowledgement form as required under NI 45-106

Not sure if you qualify?

That's completely fine — Aaron will walk you through it on your first call, with no pressure and no obligation. Many investors find they qualify under more than one category once they think it through. The goal of the first conversation is simply to figure out whether FreshCoast is a good fit for where you are and what you're trying to build.

"The reason accredited investors should invest with me is the same reason anyone should — I can make it hands-free and profitable. Their money is safe, well-managed, backed by real assets, and their best interests come first."

— Aaron Bellmore, Founder, FreshCoast Investments

Investment structures

Two ways accredited investors participate

Cash investment

Promissory note / private lending

Provide capital as a secured loan to FreshCoast. Your investment is documented with a promissory note, tied to real property, and returns are paid on a fixed schedule — typically monthly or quarterly.

  • Fixed return paid monthly or quarterly
  • Capital secured against real Alberta property
  • Clear term length and exit date from day one
  • Full capital returned at term completion
  • No landlord responsibilities — completely passive

Co-ownership

Property co-ownership / equity share

Take an ownership stake in a specific property alongside Aaron. You're on title as a co-owner, you share in cash flow distributions, and you participate in long-term equity growth as the property appreciates.

  • Titled ownership stake in a real Alberta property
  • Monthly or quarterly cash flow distributions
  • Long-term equity growth and appreciation
  • Full management by FreshCoast — zero involvement needed
  • Exit via refinance or sale — discussed upfront at time of investment

Specific terms, projected returns, and deal structure details are shared privately with qualified investors only, in compliance with applicable Canadian securities regulations. This information is not available publicly.

The process

From first conversation to first return

The process is straightforward by design. Aaron has done this for 19 years and has refined it into something that protects every investor while getting capital deployed efficiently.

1

Private consultation with Aaron

Not a sales call. A real conversation. Aaron listens to where you are, what you're trying to build, and whether FreshCoast is actually the right fit. If it's not, he'll tell you.

2

Review of deal details and structure

Depending on your capital and goals, Aaron walks you through your options — cash investment, joint venture, or a combination. Everything is explained clearly before anything is signed.

3

Legal documents prepared and signed

FreshCoast works with experienced real estate lawyers. Every deal is properly documented and every investor's position is protected. No shortcuts.

4

Capital deployed

Aaron co-invests alongside you. The FreshCoast team manages everything — acquisition, renovation, furnishing, tenant placement, and ongoing operations. You do nothing.

5

Returns paid, reporting delivered

Monthly income paid on schedule. Regular updates on your portfolio. Year-end tax summaries. Aaron is reachable directly — the person managing your investment is the person who answers the phone.

The operator

From the trades to $26 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.

"We don't get paid if you don't get paid. That's not a tagline — it's how the business actually works."

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.

Retired couple

Bruce & Bernadette

Investing since 2012 · Introduced by mutual friends

They'd been self-managing rentals for years and knew exactly how much work was involved. What they wanted as retirement approached was a partner they could trust to take it off their plate completely. They started small — just enough to see what Aaron could do. Twelve years later, they're fully retired, spending winters in Mexico. Their portfolio pays them every month without a single call to make.
Young professional

Nick

Investing since 2016 · Met Aaron playing Cash Flow in university

Nick was still a student when Aaron introduced him to the mechanics of real estate over a board game. He couldn't act then — but he remembered. The week he finished school and started working as a civil engineer, he called FreshCoast. He's since completed five deals, travels in the winter, and collects monthly income from properties he's never had to manage.
Retired engineer

Frank

Investing since 2012 · Introduced by mutual friends

Frank was still working when they first met — an engineer in his 70s, sharp as ever, looking to step back and travel more. He brought a methodical eye to every deal and took his time trusting the process. FreshCoast earned that trust the only way that works: by doing exactly what they said they would, deal after deal. Today Frank travels freely while his portfolio takes care of itself.
Semi-retired family

Jason & Paula

Investing since 2014 · Met in Grande Prairie

Jason and Paula had already flipped homes and knew how to generate a profit. What they wanted next was income that didn't require them to keep showing up. They funneled their proceeds into FreshCoast's furnished rental portfolio and built steady monthly cash flow. Today they're semi-retired by choice — Jason works when he wants, Paula is part-time, and they spend their profits on family vacations.

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

These are the questions Aaron hears on almost every first call. Answered here so you can come to that conversation ready to go deeper.

  • What return can I expect on my investment?

    FreshCoast does not publish specific return rates publicly — this is in compliance with Canadian securities regulations under NI 45-106. Return details, deal terms, and projected performance are shared privately with qualified investors after an initial consultation. What we can say: FreshCoast has operated profitably for 19 years and has never lost an investor's capital. Aaron will walk through the numbers directly on your first call.

  • What is the exit strategy — how and when do I get my capital back?

    Every FreshCoast deal includes a clearly defined exit strategy discussed and agreed upon before any capital is deployed. For promissory notes, the term length and repayment date are set at the outset. For co-ownership positions, exit typically occurs through a refinance — which can return original capital to the investor while they retain their equity stake — or through an outright property sale. Aaron considers the exit conversation one of the most important parts of every deal. You will always know how and when you get your money back.

  • What happens to my investment if the real estate market drops?

    Grande Prairie's rental market is driven primarily by workforce demand rather than speculative pricing, which makes it more insulated from the kind of corrections seen in Vancouver or Toronto. FreshCoast's furnished rental model also generates income from multiple tenant types — oil and gas workers, insurance displacement clients, traveling professionals — so a slowdown in one sector doesn't stop the properties from generating cash flow. The portfolio has held through oil price crashes, rising interest rates, and COVID without losing investor capital. That said, real estate carries risk like any investment — Aaron will be straight with you about that on your call.

  • What documents protect my investment legally?

    Every FreshCoast deal is documented with proper legal agreements prepared by experienced real estate lawyers. For promissory note investments, a signed promissory note secured against real property is used. For co-ownership positions, a Joint Venture Agreement and a Tenants-in-Common Agreement detail each partner's rights, responsibilities, profit split, and exit terms. You are on title as a registered co-owner at the Alberta Land Titles Office. Your position is documented and protected before any capital moves.

  • How long is my capital tied up?

    It depends on the structure. Promissory notes have a defined term — typically 1 to 3 years — with repayment on a set schedule. Co-ownership positions are longer-term holds, typically 5 to 10 years, with the exit agreed upon upfront. FreshCoast is not the right fit for investors who need liquidity on short notice. If you need flexible access to your capital, Aaron will tell you that clearly on the first call rather than put you in the wrong structure.

  • What reporting will I receive?

    FreshCoast investors receive regular updates on their portfolio — including monthly income statements, property performance summaries, and a year-end tax summary for filing purposes. Aaron is also reachable directly by phone or message for any questions outside of regular reporting cycles. There are no call centres, no account managers, and no layers between you and the person managing your investment.

  • Has FreshCoast ever lost an investor's capital?

    No. In 19 years of operation across multiple market cycles, FreshCoast has not lost an investor's capital. That's not a guarantee of future results — no honest operator will make that promise — but it is a meaningful part of the track record. Aaron attributes it to conservative underwriting, deep local market knowledge, and a hands-on management approach that keeps properties performing. He'll talk through exactly how risk is managed on your call.

  • What's the difference between a promissory note and a co-ownership position?

    A promissory note is a secured loan — you lend capital to FreshCoast at a fixed return for a defined term, backed by real property. It's lower complexity, has a defined end date, and your capital is returned in full at term. A co-ownership position means you go on title as a part-owner of a specific property. You share in cash flow distributions and long-term equity growth, but your capital is tied up for a longer hold period. Both structures are fully managed by FreshCoast. Many investors hold both — starting with a note to build trust, then moving into co-ownership as the relationship deepens.
