Leveraging its cutting-edge technology, proprietary rental data, and extensive investment research, combined with boots on the ground diligence, the Konfidis solution helps individual investors easily identify, evaluate, and manage investment properties across Ontario better. With Konfidis, buy your next investment property with confidence.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#datascience—Konfidis is pleased to announce the launch of its leading technology and investment platform to unlock the compelling benefits of residential real estate investment as we help individual investors answer their three key questions: “Where should I look?”, “Which property should I buy?”, and “How can I outperform the market?”

The Konfidis platform utilizes proprietary rental data to generate anticipated investment return metrics for every MLS listing and a growing set of off-market opportunities, in real-time, and layers various other technology, data, and investment attributes to surface the top investment properties across Ontario.

Konfidis investor clients receive:

• weekly shortlists of comprehensively reviewed properties, which are accompanied by a diligence report (including data gathered from an on-site visit to the property, as well as financial analysis);

• access to sophisticated real estate investment calculators; and

• a turn-key post-acquisition solution, including property management, alleviating the headaches that come with owning an investment property.

Sign up today at Konfidis.com and start receiving our weekly top single-family rental investment opportunities.

“When we talk to investors big and small, they all have the same pain points. ‘Where are the best opportunities to invest?’ and once a property is found ‘How can I quickly evaluate if it’s a good buy?’ The answers to these questions can be solved using a combination of data science and technology, coupled with our belief that also physically inspecting properties, before presenting opportunities, is key to efficiently serve our clients,” said John Asher, President, and Co-Founder of Konfidis.

“Where you live is not necessarily where we may find the best opportunities, and most likely, limiting your search radius leads to suboptimal returns,” said Jared Kalish, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Konfidis. “We search across Ontario with the aim of selecting opportunities which we believe will outperform the market over the long run.”

Konfidis also makes a portion of its platform available for investors who seek to perform their own research. The publicly accessible version allows for visual comparisons between cities and neighbourhoods, heat maps, metrics such as historical house price appreciation and sold data, as well as anticipated income driven by Konfidis’s proprietary rental data, among other items.

In addition to being a leading real estate investment services platform, Konfidis strives to be a champion for tenants. It seeks to enhance the quality and availability of rental housing solutions for Canadian families. Konfidis enhances the professionalism of the tenant experience with technology designed to improve the efficiency of leasing, payment processing, and service call coordination.

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, BentallGreenOak (BGO) announced the opening of a new office in Austin, Texas, to be led by Mike Leifeste, the firm’s newly hired Managing Director and Head of Texas Coverage. BGO’s continued expansion in the U.S. includes a significant growth in the firm’s client base and investment management activity in the U.S. sunbelt states.

Leifeste’s responsibilities in this newly created role will include a focus on deepening BGO’s investor relations activities in the region and serving as a critical touch point on current and future acquisitions in Texas while developing new operating and developer partner relationships.

Leifeste joins BGO from Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company (TTSTC), where he served in various capacities for the past 24 years, including most recently as Head of Real Estate and Real Assets for the past seven years. In his previous role, Leifeste was responsible for TTSTC’s 15% allocation to real assets and private equity energy investments, including a portfolio of real estate, private equity, and private credit funds that consisted of over 85 funds and more than $2 billion in commitments.

“I am pleased to be joining BentallGreenOak at an exciting and high growth period for the firm, with a clear and ambitious mandate for developing our investor and partner relationships, and a real estate portfolio that is built to respond to the economic and social aspirations of the state of Texas, now and into the future,” said Mike Leifeste, Managing Director and Head of Texas Coverage, BentallGreenOak. “BGO’s timely presence in Austin will enable us to draw on the strength of our local relationships and knowledge base to deliver outcomes that bode well for our investor-clients, our future tenants and residents, and the broader communities in which they will reside.”

Leifeste graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Business Administration and received an MBA from Texas State University. He is a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements included in this news release constitute ‘‘forward-looking information’’ or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The words “will”, “expects”, “plans”, “estimates”, “intends” and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements made or implied in this news release include but are not limited to statements regarding the Trust’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to the purchase of Units under the NCIB.

These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in Primaris’ management’s discussion and analysis and annual information form, which are available on SEDAR, and in Primaris’ other materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time.
