The Very Real Estate Effect Investing in Quebec: Recent Episodes

Axel Monsaingeon

Are you a real estate investor looking to grow your portfolio? Welcome to the Very Real Estate Effect Podcast. This show provides insight into the intricacies of real estate investing in Quebec through interviews with some successful investors and industry professional experts at their niche. Imagine you could be a fly on the wall in a room filled with seriously talented positive investors and tune in to their conversations, thinking patterns, habits, and methods and take one or two lessons to inspire your own real estate growth? That’s what we will do every week. Hosted by Axel Monsaingeon, a full-time real estate investor he shares his raw journey as to what it takes to build a real estate empire.

What if your biggest advantage wasn’t a deal—but your mindset?

In this episode, I sit down with Laurent Soulé to explore how a deep commitment to learning can reshape the way we invest, grow, and lead. We go beyond real estate and business buying to talk about reading smarter, changing mental filters, and developing the kind of clarity that leads to better decisions. Laurent shares the books, podcasts, and mental models that helped him shift from operating to thinking like an owner.

We break down why sharpening your lens matters more than chasing shortcuts, how speed reading and strategic learning impact execution, and why removing yourself from daily operations is the first step toward a real exit plan. Laurent explains how education compounds, why 10x thinking often beats 2x effort, and why buying back your time is more than just a business tactic—it’s a life skill.

Tune in to learn how personal growth, deep reading, and intentional mindset shifts can shape your success far beyond the next business deal.

What if you could buy a business with zero capital and still win big?

In this episode, I sit down with Laurent Soulé to explore the mindset shift from real estate to business ownership. We unpack why buying a business doesn’t require millions, how to build equity without cash, and the underrated power of confidence and creativity in deal-making. Laurent shares how the same skills used in real estate, like due diligence, structure, and relationship-building, can be transferred to acquire and scale small businesses.

We talk about the difference between owning and operating, why working on the business matters more than working in it, and how AI, automation, and workflow systems can help de-risk even the most intimidating businesses. Laurent explains how to start small, reduce risk, and offer real value without needing to be the expert in the industry.

What if the secret to better tenants wasn’t luck—but process?

In this episode, I sit down with Cory Friedman from Kompaspm.com to unpack the full “lead to lease” process—how top property managers turn interest into signed leases with less risk and more precision. Cory shares how centralization, tech, and team specialization help his firm screen tenants faster, smarter, and more thoroughly.

We explore why incomplete applications cost you the best renters, how AI is starting to support front-end leasing, and how automation can cut weeks of admin down to minutes. Cory explains how human connection and digital tools must work together to protect your NOI and set the tone for the entire tenant relationship.

Tune in to learn why lead-to-lease efficiency is the biggest unlock for modern landlords—and how you can use these systems to stay competitive and in control.

What if planning with your builder from day one could save you hundreds of thousands?

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Roth, founder of Habikon, to break down what truly makes a real estate project succeed. From building high-end custom homes to multifamily developments, Nick shares how he turned his love for structure into a company that thrives on trust, collaboration, and detailed planning.

We talk about why most projects go over budget, how to fix it with integrated project delivery (IPD), and the surprising tech stack powering his construction process. Nick explains how aligning expectations upfront, building in phases, and using cost simulation tools are helping clients build smarter—not just bigger.

Tune in to hear why planning is the most underrated skill in real estate—and how choosing the right builder could be your biggest investment decision.

What if raising property value wasn’t about square footage—but smarter service?

In this episode, I sit down with Mathieu Laquerre, VP of Sales at WiFiPlex, to dive into how tech is changing real estate investing. Forget just adding a laundry room or parking space—Mattie explains how internet infrastructure, IPTV, smart intercoms, and leak detection are now essential tools to boost NOI and tenant experience. From retrofitting older buildings to designing new developments from the ground up, he reveals what today’s renters really expect.

We explore how a single internet line can serve a whole building, why tenants now value WiFi more than water, and how tech can not only prevent damage but save lives. It’s not just about higher rent—it’s about long-term impact, improved operations, and future-ready buildings.

Tune in to learn why smart connectivity is becoming the backbone of modern real estate—and how you can use it to future-proof your investment.

What if building real estate was less about bricks and more about relationships?

In this episode, I sit down with Benoit Carrier, Director General at Nordev, to explore the true complexity behind real estate development. What looks like a simple process—buy land, build, rent—is actually a maze of permits, partnerships, and problem-solving. From unexpected delays caused by frogs to managing dozens of experts who don’t speak the same technical language, Benoit shares what it really takes to bring a building to life.

We talk about why the best developers aren’t just builders—they’re conductors, uniting lawyers, engineers, biologists, and marketers to play the same tune. And how success in this field comes down to one core principle: keep pushing, stay curious, and build human connections that last longer than concrete.

Tune in to learn why being a generalist with strong relationships might just be your best asset in real estate.

What if your biggest business breakthrough came from frustration?

In this episode, I sit down with Laurent Soulé, a resourceful entrepreneur who turned everyday problems in property management into an innovative 3D mapping solution. We talk about how his early ventures—from selling a landscaping client list to building tech for real estate—were all driven by a refusal to settle for inefficient systems.

Laurent shares how managing a patrimonial building sparked the idea for a virtual twin platform that captures critical building knowledge before it disappears. It’s about reducing risk, saving time, and making sure the next person doesn’t start from zero. His journey proves that real impact often starts with a simple question: how can I make this better?

Tune in to hear how frustration, curiosity, and a hands-on mindset helped Laurent design a tool that could change the future of property management.

What do you do when your biggest investment project hits an 18-month wall?

In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of my toughest real estate experiences yet. I open up about the realities of dealing with zoning changes, financial pressure, and self-doubt while trying to push forward a stalled project. It wasn’t easy navigating capital constraints and uncertain city approvals—but it taught me a lot.

This episode is not just a story. It’s a reminder that some setbacks aren’t failures—they’re just delays. If you’re waiting on variables outside your control, focus on what you can prepare. From redesigning your proforma to modeling returns and fostering city relationships, there's still work to be done in the waiting. And most of all, be kind to yourself while you're in it.

What’s the biggest mistake landlords make during lease renewal season?

In this episode, I sit down with Cory Friedman, founder of KompasPM.com, to dig into the real struggles of property owners and managers—especially during Quebec’s intense lease renewal cycle. Cory explains how having proper accounting systems and a smart approach to rent increases isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. From navigating rent control laws to understanding tenant consent for digital delivery, we cover how to simplify the renewal process and avoid delays that cost both time and money.

We also talk about the human side of property management. Cory reminds us that tenant relationships don’t start at renewal—they start on day one. And if you’re not communicating clearly or responding to requests throughout the lease, don’t be surprised if that renewal turns into a negotiation or, worse, a court case. Cory shares why it’s better to know your numbers, prepare early, and stay flexible when needed.

We wrap with a discussion on tech shifts and lead generation. Cory explains how the rental market is evolving with AI tools, new listing platforms, and rental agents stepping in to help owners keep up. If you want to scale your property business, avoid tenant headaches, and boost your lease conversion rates, you’ll want to hear what Cory has to say.

Tune in if you want to stop scrambling at renewal time, reduce vacancy, and stay ahead of the rental curve.

What happens when self-storage becomes a space for transformation and empowerment?

In this episode, I sit down with Andrea Lafrechoux, Director of Real Estate at Avenir Properties, to talk about Montreal Mini Storage’s newest location—and the bigger mission behind it. Andrea shares how their latest development is not just about lockers and square footage, but about creating meaningful spaces that support women entrepreneurs and community needs. From a co-working space dedicated to women to partnerships with Scotiabank and local artists, this project was built differently—with heart, purpose, and intention.

We explore how urban planning and adaptive reuse can reshape real estate’s role in our lives, especially when companies truly listen to the community. Andrea also speaks about initiatives like “Ladies Who Launch” and how design choices—from lighting to layout—can create safer, more inclusive environments. This isn’t just about storage.

From stalled city tenders to innovative partnerships, we get into how this 1,000-unit project finally moved forward—with half of the units dedicated to social and affordable housing.

Have you ever thought about how energy efficiency might impact your real estate investments?

In this episode, we dive into the growing importance of energy efficiency, particularly in the context of European real estate. I share insights on the recent trends in Europe, especially France, where energy efficiency laws are reshaping the market. Understanding these changes is crucial as similar regulations might soon reach North America.

I explore how these trends create both challenges and opportunities for real estate investors. Properties that are not energy efficient are likely to decrease in value, forcing owners to invest in renovations to meet new standards. For savvy investors, this shift could present significant opportunities to acquire properties at a discount and improve them to meet the growing demand for greener buildings.

As we look ahead, it’s essential to consider how energy efficiency might influence your portfolio's future. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, staying informed on these trends will help you make smarter investment decisions. Tune in to learn more about how to prepare for these upcoming changes and the potential benefits they might bring.

In today's solo episode, Axel discusses the critical points that you should consider during due diligence when purchasing a real estate property. Due diligence is a thorough investigation to uncover any existing risks or defects in the property.

It is essential to conduct due diligence before closing a deal, as a property may appear to be a good investment opportunity, but there may be reasons why it should not be bought at all or should be bought below the offered price. You must verify and confirm all the income and expenses, have all the right documentation, and learn everything about the overall state of the building, its history, and how it stands compared to local municipal code laws.

In this episode, Axel explains each step that you should take to ensure success when closing a deal and avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. Listen to this episode to learn more about conducting a thorough due diligence process in real estate investing.

In today’s solo episode, Axel talks about a deal from acquisition to disposition. This deal is about a property discussed in previous episodes: a fiveplex in the neighborhood of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

A real estate deal is generally a long and stressful exercise that involves many steps, procedural formalities, and effort. But you should never forget that the whole point of all of this is to make money, renovate old buildings, and put good supply on the market. Now is a crucial moment for housing and improving quality.

Axel talks about how they found the property, its location, financing, closing, and adding more value for optimization. He also discusses why they decided to sell this property, their selling approach, the negotiation process with the buyer, and closing the deal.

Learn about why it is so important to do due diligence during the acquisition of a property, the whole selling process, and why you should have multiple exit strategies.

Axel welcomes back Dino Orchard, a real estate investor, business leader and coach, to talk about the challenges of real estate investing and the importance of reflecting about what goes wrong so next time there is a better chance of making it go right.

There is a lot of sugar-coated real estate information out there. If you want to get into real investing, it's better you face the tough truth up front. And the truth is that real estate investing has tons of challenges and nothing turns out as planned. The good news is that you learn along the journey. Those lessons learned are often the best lessons and the more painful they are, the better the learning.

Dino shares with us a remote deal he has been working on this year in the US, all the way from notarizing to finalizing the transaction. This journey has been one challenge after the other; not only did he have to deal with foreign laws but also had to face a crazy market due to covid, come across a property in filthy conditions and cope with the damages a hurricane left on the property.

Axel interviews Ken Gee, founder and managing partner of KRI Partners, to talk about the five crucial steps you must take to renovate your multifamily properties.

There is a profitable way to invest in real estate, and that is finding a tired multifamily property and putting life back into it through good management, capital improvements and renovations. By doing this, you are adding exponential value not only to the property and investment but to someone’s life too.

In this episode Ken and Axel dive deep into the five most important steps you must take to renovate successfully a multifamily property: the first three are a must and refer to a depth-in market study - your entire business plan is based on this step -, the determination of a renovation budget and a “sit on your hands” period. The other two refer to the importance of making an outside-in renovation approach and being willing to reassess the plan as you walk through the renovation.

Furthermore they talk about how to handle renovations in common areas and why Ken choses the exit strategy of holding on to the property for three or five years.

In today’s new solo episode, Axel shares an update on two projects, one in Laval and the other in Saint-Jerome paying special attention to working with the city for permits.

These projects are, on a macro level, learning experiences. His main goal is to go bigger; build an entire neighborhood that can house families and immigrants so they can create memories. His experience can help you too. Learning from the experience of others can help you identify red flags or even avoid them, and provide you with useful tools and information.

Axel talks about the importance of working with an architect instead of a “dessinateur'', the negative effects city permit delays have on his projects and the importance of making the city and stakeholders understand that the biggest impediment to new dwellings coming on the market is working with the city.

In regards to his second project, he dives deep into how to treat contamination and the whole decontamination process, the importance of getting a lot of quotes, all what's needed to get the project fully approved to start with construction and the positive effects that the actual slowdown in construction has on his project.

Additionally he talks about the next step to come: financing. Mortgage brokers suggest if it doesn't work to wait 18 months. Axel is not going to wait. If you have any ideas on capital or financing, please get in touch.

STAY TUNED to see how the process continues! And WATCH OUT for the upcoming Very Real Estate Effect event!

Both Simon and Axel walk us through an adventurous real estate rollercoaster story. All the way from a first project that fell through to a second project now under contract.

Simon and Axel dive deep into the importance of prospecting and being persistent to find your deals. They talk about the property, the whole process of negotiation, why distressed sellers are ideal, how to deal with hoarder houses, the alternative to transform the five unit into an eight apartment building and how they structured the closing of the deal.

Getting into real estate sounds like an easy way to make money, right? They are buying, flipping, and selling houses all the time and you start to wonder if you can do that too. But, let me ask you something, how many times have you gotten into your car and started driving and driving and driving, without a destination? How do you know if you are going the right way or the wrong way?

You need a destination!

In the real estate world, you will make wrong turns and mistakes and there will be tough times waiting for you on the horizon. But if you come to this world with a clear destination of where you want to go in your mind, and you are actively searching for all the tools that will help you get there, you will actually have a shot in the real estate world. Steve Rozenberg, our guest today, created the fastest growing property management company in the state of Texas. He manages over 1000 properties across 3 major metropolitan cities. With this kind of resume, you would not think that Steve was an international commercial airline pilot, who, after the tragedies of 9/11, realized that his career was nowhere safe and secure as he had predicted.

On today's show, Steve shares the amazing mindset that allowed him to pivot from pilot to real estate mastermind. Steve shares all the golden nuggets about running a business, the ins and outs of the real estate world, and the importance of being proactive and outsourcing in your business.

Rent to own allows a tenant to live in house with which he will be able to buy later at a predetermined price and each rent payment counts towards his down payment.
