Greetings friends, this is Erwin Szeto, and welcome to The Truth About Real Estate Investing for Canadians, the #9 ranked podcast for Canadian Investment and Personal Finance per FeedSpot! Thank you listeners and past guests of this show! As always it’s a honour to have this platform and ability to give back to the community that has been so much to my family and I where we all share a passion for the best investment class in the world: real estate.  Here on this show, it’s my job to interview the top minds in real estate investing and business to uncover the strategies, mindsets, and habits that actually work—especially in today’s market.

This week’s guest is Scott Dillingham, founder of LendCity Mortgages, is returning to the show with a mortgage market update!  He is a rare expert in both Canadian and U.S. real estate financing.

Scott built his career helping investors—starting as a high-volume mortgage broker at one of Canada’s Big Four banks for ten years, where he consistently ranked among the top 1% nationwide. In his peak year, he closed over 410 mortgage deals, most of them for investment properties.

He’s also a seasoned real estate investor himself, owning dozens of rental units, which gives him firsthand insight into the challenges his clients face.

What makes Scott especially unique is that, as a dual citizen, he’s able to own and operate mortgage brokerages in both Canada and the U.S.—something rare, I don’t know anyone else who can do that. That means Canadian investors working with Scott can access lending strategies, mortgage approvals, and support for properties on both sides of the border—all under one team.

Through LendCity, Scott works with over 60 lenders in Canada and 2,500+ lending sources in the U.S., helping investors scale smarter no matter where they’re buying.

📍Catch him live Saturday morning April 26th Half-Day iWIN Meeting. We have in person seats which are almost sold out and a bit of room online for those who live a bit further away.
