He is the sharp and strategic mind behind Midfield Investments, who’s on a mission to scale wealth through value-add multifamily real estate—particularly in the booming markets of Texas.
Evan’s journey started in Ontario, but his real estate vision quickly expanded across state lines. Why? Because he realized the Canadian market wasn’t offering the same kind of scale, returns, or deal flow. With a finance background and an innate appetite for due diligence, he dove headfirst into the U.S. multifamily sector—and never looked back.
In this episode, Evan pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a successful cross-border portfolio. From capital raising and market selection to managing large-scale construction and optimizing operations, he shares the real-life strategies that have helped Midfield grow into a trusted investment firm for both institutional and retail investors.

But this isn’t just a technical breakdown.
Evan gets real about the emotional side of investing—what it’s like to manage investor capital, lead a growing team, and make bold decisions in uncertain markets. He also talks about the importance of trust, reputation, and being the kind of operator people want to partner with.
If you’re a Canadian investor who’s been curious about the U.S. market—or someone who’s ready to scale beyond single-family rentals and small multi’s—this conversation will give you the confidence and clarity you’ve been looking for.
Evan’s approach is methodical, data-driven, and refreshingly humble. He’s not chasing vanity metrics. He’s playing the long game—and showing others how to do the same.
