How it works

A real partnership — not a fund, not a note, not a promise.

A joint venture with FreshCoast is straightforward. Aaron has been doing them successfully since 2006, and the structure hasn't changed — because it works.

1

You bring the capital

Typically the down payment and acquisition costs on a specific Grande Prairie property. No mortgage qualifying required in most deals.

2

Aaron brings the deal

Aaron sources the property, handles all due diligence, manages the renovation, furnishes the unit, and places tenants. You don't lift a finger.

3

You both go on title

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

4

Profits split equally

Cash flow from the property is split 50/50. Equity growth as the property appreciates is shared equally. When the property is sold or refinanced, proceeds are distributed to both partners.

5

Aaron's team runs it

FreshCoast manages the tenants, the maintenance, the accounting, and the reporting. You stay informed without being hands-on. Monthly updates and an open line to Aaron.

The partnership split

What you bring. What Aaron brings. What you both share.

Every JV is a true partnership, each side contributes something the other can't easily replicate. That balance is what makes it work for both parties.

  • Down payment and acquisition costs on the property
  • No day-to-day involvement required after funding
  • No mortgage qualifying in most deals

  • Tenant placement, management, and operations
  • Accounting, reporting, and annual tax summaries

"We get to partner directly with the owner — someone who has done this for 20 years and knows every corner of the market. They put in the work. We put in the capital. And we split everything equally."

— — Jason & Paula, JV partners since 2014

Is this right for you?

A FreshCoast JV is a strong fit for some investors — and not for others.

Aaron is direct about this from the first conversation. He'd rather spend ten minutes finding out it's not a fit than waste both parties' time. Here's a quick self-check.

This is likely a good fit if you…

  • Want to own real property but don't want to manage it
  • Are ready to deploy meaningful capital with an aligned partner
  • Are thinking long-term — building wealth over 5–10 years, not flipping
  • Want to learn how professional real estate works from the inside
  • Value a transparent, accountable partner over a slick pitch
  • Are comfortable with your capital in a physical asset vs. the stock market

This is probably not a fit if you…

  • Need your capital back within 12–18 months
  • Want to be involved in day-to-day property decisions
  • Are looking for a short-term flip or a quick ROI
  • Expect guaranteed returns regardless of market performance
  • Are not comfortable with illiquid real estate investments
  • Are looking for something fully passive with no communication

Investor stories

Investors who chose to build alongside Aaron

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 2016 · Referred by a long-term JV partner

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.

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 "Super Suites" 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."

— Aaron Bellmore, Founder, FreshCoast Investments

Common questions

What people ask before their first JV 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.

  • Do I need to qualify for a mortgage?

    In most FreshCoast JV deals, the partner provides the down payment and acquisition costs while Aaron handles the mortgage qualification side. This means your credit score and income level often don't need to meet traditional mortgage thresholds. Aaron will walk through the specific structure on your first call.

  • How long is the typical JV hold period?

    Most FreshCoast joint ventures are structured as long-term holds — typically 5 to 10 years. The exit strategy is always discussed and agreed upon before any deal is signed. Whether the exit is a refinance or a sale, both partners know the plan from day one.

  • How do I get my money back?

    Exit options vary by deal structure but typically include a refinance (which returns capital to the partner while Aaron retains the property) or an outright sale (where both partners split the proceeds). In several past deals, FreshCoast has refinanced and returned full original capital to investors while they maintain their equity stake. Aaron will explain exactly how the exit works for the specific deal before you commit.

  • How much capital do I need?

    It depends on the property and deal structure. FreshCoast JVs typically require the down payment plus acquisition costs on a residential property in Grande Prairie. Conversations start at $25,000 — though the right amount really depends on the specific opportunity. Aaron will match the right deal to your capital level.

  • What if the property has vacancies or problems?

    FreshCoast manages every property actively — that includes maintaining occupancy, handling maintenance, and dealing with any tenant issues. Aaron's furnished rental model is specifically designed to reduce vacancy and damage risk compared to traditional long-term rentals. FreshCoast has managed through every kind of issue over 19 years and has never lost an investor's capital.

  • Will I be involved in decisions about the property?

    You'll be informed — but not on the hook for decisions. Aaron handles all operational decisions and keeps partners updated with regular reporting. If a major strategic decision arises that affects the partnership, Aaron involves you in that conversation. The goal is for you to be a well-informed, hands-free co-owner.
