Clint Murphy

I'm super excited to announce my next step in life: Frame Properties This may be the worst time in the world on this platform to announce I'll be a real estate developer... But... It's been too long a road to worry about that: • 25 years in Finance • 15 years in Real Estate • 8 years as a RE Development CFO • $2.5+ billion in RE sold or stabilized The road has always led here. I've been hinting at it for months now. At least one or two of you have said tell me more. It's time to re-introduce myself and share with you: 1. The backstory 2. Where we're at today 3. What you can expect from me Backstory For the past three years, I've written about personal, professional and financial growth. I've shared some of my personal stories but haven't talked much about what I do for my day job or personal investing. That's about to change. Now, it's time to go to work as an entrepreneur. You're probably thinking, Clint, you're 45, WTF took you so long. It's a question I ask myself, too. The simple answer is it comes down to priorities. There are always two people in a partnership, and I promised my wife stability and earnings early in our relationship. I've held those up for 25+ years now, allowing us to reach a point where the risk will be tolerable for her. I did that by growing my career, with a compounding increase to my salary of ~ 15% per year for most of that time and by investing well. My first 10 years were largely with KPMG, focused on private companies ( SMB Twitter ) and real estate ( RETwit ). The last 15 years have been focused on Real Estate, working for some of Vancouver, British Columbia's largest real estate developers and landlords, the last 8 as the CFO of a large team with exposure to: • Private REITs • Semi-public REITs • Real Estate Development • Mortgage Investment Corporations I've had the fortune to be involved with $2.5+ Billion of real estate sold or stabilized during those 15 years, which includes: • Feasibility • Acquisitions • Development approvals • Construction management • Sales and marketing processes • Project capital, finance and reporting It's been a blast. I've learned from some of the best. But, it's hard to be sitting on the sidelines. To see what's possible and not be in the driver's seat. That all changes now. It's time for the next chapter in life. Before I discuss where we're at today, I would be remiss not to mention real estate has been my path to wealth. I invested in real estate while growing my career to the C-suite level. My wife and I, over the last 12 years, have added to our portfolio: • 2 apartments • 5 townhomes • a summer cottage And our single-family home. Overall, the portfolio's fair market value is ~ $10 million today, which doesn't include an apartment we have under contract to close in 2026. Where We're At Today I've joined three past colleagues and friends in starting a real estate development shop, Frame Properties. We're focused on building a long-term residential real estate development business that we'll scale in a risk-respectful way. Our first project, Emerson, will be under construction next week and has started pre-selling: Some simple concepts you can expect from us: • We Put People First • It's All About the Homes • We're Relentless in What We Do • At the end of the day, It Has to Be FUN Emerson will be 15 townhomes in Victoria, BC, where we'll focus our development efforts. Over the next 10+ years, we'll expand our business focused on the area from Esquimalt to Saanich on Vancouver Island, and my time on the island will grow with our scale. I expect to live full-time on the island by the time my boys finish high school in five years. Our second project will be 19 townhomes, and our next few projects (we have some LOIs out now and a few in DD) will be 25 to 30 townhomes in size and scale. After that, we'll target townhome and apartment sites with revenue in the $40+ million range per site. My partners have experience in acquisitions, deal-making, construction + development and marketing + sales - the full spectrum of real estate development. As we scale the business, we'll also partner strategically with land owners and developers in sensible ways, and I'll offer real estate fractional CFO services. Here's the goal. I'll put it in writing now. And, I'll share updates with you as we go. By 2030, we will consistently generate $100 million to $150 million in revenue annually. Ten years in, we'll consistently generate at least $200 million to $250 million in revenue annually. What You Can Expect From Me Not much is going to change. I'm still going to talk about Growth: • Personal • Professional • and, Financial The difference is I'll add conversations around Real Estate and Entrepreneurship. Each of these fills the buckets of professional and financial growth. If you're in Victoria or the Lower Mainland and have land or opportunities, please get in touch with me in the DMs. If you're in Victoria or the Lower Mainland and want to partner in some capacity, please reach out in the DMs. If you're an LP investor in Canada and want to discuss how you can work with us on our future projects, send me a direct message. It's Real Estate and Self-Development All the Time, and if you want to work together, my DMs are OPEN.

@SarahRyanYEG @edmontonpolice @CityofEdmonton At least there is still some sanity in the world, good on those two citizens.

@IAmClintMurphy @edmontonpolice @CityofEdmonton 2 people supported the Chief.

There are more than 50 people at the @edmontonpolice Commission meeting at @CityofEdmonton City Hall today. It’s standing room only. #yeg 1 speaker has already called for the Police Chief to step down following his trip to Israel, and comments since.

WiFi on planes is so much better, now, but can still definitely improve. Between every few chapters of a book, I'm buying land, negotiating deals and accessing bank loans. Everyone around me is sleeping or watching movies. Total losers and don't tell my wife i said that about her and our boys...

@mikealfred @udiWertheimer I've got a 14-year old and a 17-year old. These statements are, thankfully, incorrect in them and their friends. The future, Mike, is a lot brighter than people think - you're listening to the chart squigglers of demographics. All noise, no signal.

@udiWertheimer The American spirit used to mean something. This generation of pussies doesn’t drink or have sex and they sit around playing video games all day. No courage. No desire to interact in the real world. Sad.

if americans had 5% of the resilience israelis have they’d be unstoppable every israeli lost someone on oct 7. they’ve been under daily missile attacks since. yet their spirits are up and they’re WINNING americans endure 2 weeks of mild market volatility and LOSE THEIR SHIT

@DrCamRx @Chris_Petkas @tbpn I researched it after, Thank you, appreciated 🙏 Had me nervous for a minute.

@IAmClintMurphy @Chris_Petkas @tbpn All those are great! PS OxyTOCIN not OxyCONTIN.

Maximus CEO @drcamrx says all the top founders and VCs will be on at least three of the following five compounds within 3-5 years: Testosterone to build muscle, tirzepatide to drop fat, tessamorelin to increase growth hormone and recovery, tadalafil to increase intimacy and blood flow, and oxytocin to reduce stress.

@mattjdh Appealing something you're responsible for, didn't fight hard enough against and didn't notify affected people of the issue, to begin with, isn't quite the win you're making it out to be.

The Conservatives continue to try to blame the BC NDP for a court decision that the BC NDP is appealing

@MarcMillerVM Marc, Islamophobia is a made-up, innaccurate word. Islam, as a political ideology, which it is, is one of the greatest causes of oppression and terrorism. To not be concerned with Islam and Islamism would be ludicrous and you, as a leader of our Country should recognize that.

Recent incidents at the Toronto Islamic Centre are entirely unacceptable. They remind us that the fight against Islamophobia is far from over. Let us stand in solidarity with Muslim communities across Canada and reject all forms of hate.

@Chris_Petkas @tbpn @DrCamRx Lift heavy, fast regularly, eat red meat, pray and mediate AND add 2-3 of those compounds. To me, it depends on your age, lifestyle and labs, really. Don't think I'd ever touch oxy, that sounds like a disaster.

@tbpn @DrCamRx Or just…you know…lift heavy, fast occasionally, sleep, eat red meat, and pray/meditate.

Moses, here in Vancouver, they're building a lot of street boulevards in certain areas, where they've closed a portion of the roads to cars. Quite nice, a great fallout of covid and re-imagining the city, but here's the problem. You know and i know, they're likely being built on cost+ contracts, like this pool. Every time i see them working on one, which take ~ 6+ months, i see 20 guys on site, most doing nothing... I asked one of my construction partners if it would take them a week to do that job if his crew did it privately... He didn't say NO

Am 100% confident I could re-build this pool for less than the **$28,000,000** the City of Los Angeles has budgeted.

Who, in their right mind, thought this was okay, Let me rewrite this for you, Two teenage terrorists have been taken into custody after attempting the worst bombing since the Boston Marathons. The terrorists threw homemade bombs, comprised of nuts, bolts, inspired by ISIS, at the feet of NYC police officers and protestors as they yelled Allah Akbhar.

A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.

@NoLore They've never been "safe", Nora, that's what you don't understand. If they ever let down their guard, October 7th would be repeated and it would be far worse. It's so easy for you to say how they should behave and act from the safety and comfort of your home in Canada...

It's pretty crazy to think that the people who have allowed their government to literally flatten Gaza have been so safe for so long.

@waltermasterson Suicidal empathy on full display.

I was in the middle of saying “as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city” when he threw that over my head.

@BarbaraRKay Well said, Barbara. I always come back to the quote I'd heard. If Israel's enemies laid down their arms, we'd have peace. If Israel were to lay down their arms, they'd be massacred.

There are nine countries who have official nukes plus Israel, and not a single one of them ever said they wanted them in order to take out a country they hate. Iran did, right from the get-go. Israel was a "one-bomb" country, they said. They never pretended otherwise. Israel's nukes - if they have them - will never ever be used offensively, only in the direst self-defensive situation. But the Iranians always made their *offensive* intentions clear. @mehdirhasan, you don't see a distinction here?

@elonmusk Maybe it's just me... If you kill, and eat pieces of people, I don't ever think your psychatric counselling and drugs will be enough to let you out in society...

Probability of murder and cannibalism again is ~100%

You are deranged, Caitlin. Iran murdered 40,000+ of its own citizens in the last two months. They are a sponsor of State Terror and funder of Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLA, etc and so much more. How do you champion an oppressive Islamic Regime over America... Literally, deranged.

Iran is better than the United States. The United States is worse than Iran. This is true not because Iran is especially good, but because the United States is especially evil. Iran isn’t blanketing a major metropolis with military explosives, killing over a thousand people including hundreds of children. The United States is doing this with its partner in crime Israel. Iran isn’t continuously bombing and invading countries around the world, toppling governments, circling the globe with hundreds of military bases, targeting civilian populations with siege warfare and brandishing nuclear weapons at its enemies in the name of securing planetary domination. Only the United States is. The US empire is the single most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth, by an extremely massive margin. No one else comes anywhere remotely close. Not Iran. Not anybody. Every government in the world is morally superior to the most evil government, and the most evil government is the United States. Whenever I say this I get US empire apologists going “We’re only the ones fighting the wars and dropping the bombs because we happen to be the ones with the power to do so!” But that’s false. The US isn’t the world’s most vicious government because it happens to be the most powerful, it’s the most powerful government because it’s the most vicious. It’s the power structure which was willing to do whatever it takes to rule the world, no matter how profoundly evil. Genocides. Starvation sanctions. Nuclear brinkmanship. Imperialist extraction. The deliberate creation of failed states and humanitarian catastrophes. Policies designed to keep entire regions in a continuous state of division and strife. The United States and the globe-spanning empire structured around it have inflicted depravities upon our species which cry out to the heavens for vengeance. If you could truly comprehend the scale of the suffering it has created over the years, even for a second, you would never stop screaming. Another objection I’ll encounter when I make these observations is “Well, I’d rather live in the US than Iran!” And it says so much about the western worldview that people think this is an argument. Sure it’s probably nicer to live in the United States than Iran, especially now, and certainly ever since the US has been deliberately strangling the Iranian economy with the explicitly stated goal of making its citizenry so miserable they wage a civil war against their government. But it’s so revealing that westerners see someone saying Iran is better than the United States and think it’s a statement about where they personally would prefer to live, because it shows how completely invisible US warmongering is in their worldview. Washington’s acts of mass military slaughter simply do not count as immoral or abusive behavior in their eyes, because they are being inflicted on foreigners overseas. So they automatically assume the comparison is asking which country would make your feelings feel nicer to live in as an individual. The fact that the US government happens to export the majority of its abusiveness to other countries outside its own borders doesn’t make it any less murderous and tyrannical, it just means the people bearing the brunt of its savagery happen to live in other places. Their lives don’t matter any less than American lives, and only a warped, American supremacist worldview would feel otherwise. The US government is quantifiably morally inferior to the Iranian government. It is quantifiably more tyrannical, more murderous, more destructive, and more megalomaniacal. It is the very last power structure on earth that should have any say in who leads Iran and how the Iranians ought to conduct their affairs. It is not morally qualified to be making those decisions.

@zarahsultana You should be removed from office. Your constant amtisemetic behavior is despicable.

Zionism is one of the greatest threats to humanity.

I'm so challenged by our education system, today: - Land back - De-colonize - Anti-capitalist - Lift the oppressed - Fight the oppressors - Break down the patriarchy How do these topics seem to make it into the head of a majority of young people who go to University ? It would not have been like this 30 years ago - what changed and who funded that change, because it will lead to the breakdown of society as we know it.

I'm gonna get blasted for saying this as UofT faculty, but OISE is the epicenter of what's wrong with education in this province. Activism doesn't belong in the classroom, full stop.

@avilewis No, Avi, you're wrong. A lot of Canadians want the Islamic Regime in Iran removed and a Free Iran. Despite your desire to do so, you do not speak for all Canadians and with views like this, never should.

This is utterly incoherent. What Canadians need to hear from our Prime Minister right now is simple: call for a ceasefire and immediately withdraw your misguided support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war. Canadians don’t want to be part of this axis of aggression and impunity, AI-targeted assassinations, and the blatant killing of civilians. We want our country to be a voice for peace.

@amelissa555 Sad and pathetic. It's no longer about progression. It's about pandering woke virtue signaling.

One of the wildest things about being centre left is watching the far left simp for terrorists. Mystifying. 🧲

@BillAckman @marvinliao When you're part of Islam, Bill, you side with Islam. He sides with Hamas, because... Islam He sides with the Islamic Republic, because... Islam It's not hard to predict what side of a scenario the Mayor is going to be on.

So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people. And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation. You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city. How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil? Why is this so hard for you?
