The Method

What is wholesale real estate in Canada?

Wholesale real estate is the process of putting a property under contract at a discounted price, then assigning that contract to an end buyer for a fee. You never take ownership. You never need a mortgage. You profit from the assignment.

It is fully legal in Canada under contract law, and it is the fastest way for Canadians without large capital to start generating real estate income.

  • No real estate license required in any Canadian province
  • Earn $10,000 to $50,000+ per deal in assignment fees
  • No mortgage, no down payment, no renovations
  • Works in Ontario, Alberta, BC, Quebec, and every other province

The Roadmap

The exact path from zero to your first deal

Every Canadian student we work with follows the same proven framework. It is built on 180+ closed deals and refined for the realities of the Canadian market.

01

Master the Canadian legal framework

Understand exactly how assignment contracts work under Canadian law, what protections you need, and which clauses keep you compliant in every province.

02

Source off-market deals

Build a pipeline of motivated sellers using direct mail, cold outreach, driving for dollars, and digital marketing systems built for Canadian markets.

03

Negotiate and lock contracts

Convert seller leads into signed assignment contracts using scripts and frameworks proven to work with Canadian homeowners across price points.

04

Build your buyers list

Develop relationships with active investors across Canada and the US who are ready to close fast. Your buyers list is your most valuable asset.

05

Assign and close

Coordinate with lawyers, run title work, and close cleanly. Walk away with a five-figure assignment fee and a track record you can scale from.

06

Scale to multifamily

Once you have the system working, graduate to wholesaling multifamily and apartment buildings the same path that built our $50M portfolio.

About Ortiz Equity Group

From government housing to a $50M portfolio.

Ortiz Equity Group was founded in 2019 by brothers Jefferson and Jon Ortiz with one wholesale deal — no capital, no connections, just relentless focus on learning the game. Today we run two integrated arms of the same business: a wholesale education company that has trained 100+ Canadians, and a multifamily investment firm that helps accredited and non-accredited investors build passive cash flow.

Jefferson came from a background in insurance sales, where he was the top sales agent in the country running a wholesaling business at scale. Jon brought a professional background in procurement and international trade, plus expertise in M&A, underwriting, and operational growth. Together they built systems that work — and now they teach them.

Four years later we own 330+ multifamily units across Canada and the US, have completed 180+ wholesale deals, and personally invest alongside our investors in every property we acquire. The strategy is simple: buy underperforming B and C class assets in growing markets, force appreciation through renovation and operational improvements, and create generational wealth for everyone involved.

Our wholesale education program exists because we get asked the same question constantly: "How did you start with nothing?" The answer is wholesaling. It's the same path we took, the same path our students take, and it works in any Canadian market regardless of economic conditions.

Common Questions

Everything Canadians ask us

These are the most common questions we get from Canadians considering wholesale real estate.

Is wholesale real estate legal in Canada? +
Yes. Wholesale real estate is completely legal in Canada. You assign a purchase contract to another buyer, which is permitted under Canadian contract law. As long as you act as a principal in the contract — not as an unlicensed agent — wholesaling is fully legal across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, and every other province.
How much money do I need to start? +
You can start with as little as $0 to $500. You only need a small earnest money deposit (often $100 to $1,000) to secure contracts, and many deals are structured with no money down at all. This is what makes wholesaling fundamentally different from traditional real estate investing.
Do I need a real estate license? +
No. You do not need a real estate license to wholesale in Canada. Since you act as a principal in a contract that you assign to another buyer, you are not functioning as a real estate agent. The key is that you never represent yourself as a licensed agent or charge commission as an intermediary.
How long until I close my first deal? +
Most students who follow our system close their first wholesale real estate deal within 30 to 45 days. Some have closed in as little as 14 days. Others take 60 to 90 days depending on effort and market conditions. Consistency, not luck, is what drives the timeline.
How much can you make wholesaling in Canada? +
The average wholesale deal in Canada generates between $10,000 and $30,000 in assignment fees. Experienced wholesalers regularly close $50,000 to $100,000+ deals, especially on multifamily properties. Our students have generated over $3 million in combined wholesale revenue.
Does this still work in today's market? +
Yes. There are always motivated sellers facing situations like divorce, foreclosure, inherited properties, or financial hardship. They need quick solutions, and wholesalers provide them. Tougher market conditions actually create more wholesale opportunities, not fewer.
Which Canadian provinces work best? +
Wholesaling works across every Canadian province. The most active markets include Ontario (Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa), Alberta (Calgary, Edmonton), British Columbia (Vancouver, Victoria), and Quebec (Montreal). Smaller cities and secondary markets often offer less competition and higher margins for new wholesalers.
