Eric Skicki - Founder & CEO at BrokerPocket Inc. and Cloud Realty
Eric is an eccentric and intuitive leader driven by his passion for innovation. He believes that human potential is nearly limitless and that boundaries are meant to be broken.
Previously a real estate agent, Eric founded one of the most widely respected modern real estate offices in the GTA where he has now stepped back to a hands-off position. Eric’s entrepreneurial drive and ambition has allowed him to not only bring his visions to life but also inspire thousands around him.
In the face of uncertainty and a questionable future for realtors, Eric was on the hunt for an opportunity to build a tool that can serve realtors and add value to the real estate industry as a whole. Eric decided to take on his next venture, BrokerPocket, in which he serves as the CEO and visionary leader navigating uncharted waters.
As the CEO of BrokerPocket, Eric’s role began by taking his idea and turning it into a business. Aside from the traditional tasks of a CEO, he also takes on the role of CFO, including raising capital and assisting the CTO in building the technology platform.
Regardless of the company he’s building, Eric embraces a growth mindset and an HR-driven leadership approach in which his three operating principles always remain the same: System, Speed, Scale™.

What All Canadian Investors Need to Know About Bankruptcy
-
Who are you, and what do you do?
-
Why does someone go bankrupt? What does it mean for your credit/future?
-
Why does almost no one who owns a home go bankrupt?
-
If interest rates increase, will there be an increase in bankruptcies?
-
If I own a home, but have a lot of unsecured debt, like credit cards, what are my options?

Pros and Cons of being a Canadian Investor in the US Market
Glen Sutherland is a real estate investor from Wellesley, ON (outside of Waterloo) where he lives with his wife and two terrific children. He started his investing journey by purchasing 'buy and hold' rental real estate locally. After a lot of research, he learned of more favourable laws, lower property taxes, and lower cost of entry south of the border. These factors make for greater ease of wealth creation. These days, Glen is investing in the US by buying, renovating, refinancing to grow his rental real estate portfolio. He also hosts the Podcast and YouTube channel entitled, "A Canadian Investing in the US", where he provides information and advice to investors interested in investing in both Canada and the US. He enjoys the privilege of sharing his knowledge with others.

Jas Takhar is a Toronto native and has been in the sales and service industry for over 27 years. Soon after deciding to try his hand in real estate, he founded REC Canada under Royal LePage, and for over 5 years has successfully kept his team in the top 3 in the country.
With 54 realtors and 11 support staff, the team advises and assists over 625 buyers, sellers and investors, yearly, across the Greater Toronto Area, resulting in a total of over $2.1B in transactions. This year alone Jas’ core sales team has done over $300 million in sales. Jas’ area of expertise is in helping investors build out their real estate portfolios. Wanting to share his knowledge and experience with the masses, he wrote a book titled, Real Estate Intelligence, which teaches anyone how to buy or sell real estate on their own.
Furthering his pursuit to educate and motivate, he developed a love for content creation, and now not only hosts one of the top business podcasts in North America – The Jas Takhar Podcast – but also founded his own media company, From The Ground Up Media where he helps other real estate agents produce quality content. His hope is to provide inspiring education through his guides, seminars, and content to aid others in removing the friction from their own life in order to help them get from where they are, to where they want to be.

How to polish a diamond in the rough.
James started with his first rental property in Feb 2020, at the start of COVID. He was raised to fear debt, save money, go to school, work hard to graduate university, and get a good job - he is now in huge amounts of debt, spends all of his money immediately, and while he graduated university and got a great job, he left it shortly after. James now runs his own businesses and owns several multifamily buildings in Southwestern Ontario. His primary investing strategies are BRRRRs, Airbnb, and has done a few flips. His niche is buying properties with difficult problems to solve, with each property getting nicknames. The Machete House and the Crack Shack Hotel are the most popular amongst his followers.

Is paying $0 income tax really a possibility?
In 2004, Jean-Pierre Laporte set out to create a better solution for investors that wanted improved asset protection while minimizing taxes. With an impressive academic background at the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School and the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris, he is often called upon as an expert witness before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, and he has written several seminal articles on pension reform, including an expansion of the Canada Pension Plan.
Jean-Pierre, founded INTEGRIS drawing on over a decade of experience as a pension lawyer for several prestigious Toronto firms, including Bennett Jones LLP, Fasken Martineau LLP, Osler and Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. He has dedicated his career to improving pension legislation. Frustrated that the significant benefits of pensions were not readily available to those outside of large companies, Jean-Pierre created the Personal Pension Plan ™ to level the playing field and open up a new world of financial options and increased retirement savings for incorporated professionals.
INTEGRIS Pension Management Corporation Offers incorporated business professionals (and C-Suite Executives) the most tax-effective way of saving for the future. INTEGRIS acts as a fiduciary between government and regulated companies in Canada to provide its clients with a high-calibre Personal Pension Plan (PPP®). While INTEGRIS does not invest assets, it designs and implements pension strategies tailored to the individual’s needs and maintains the plan’s compliant status over a lifetime.
The PPP® is the most effective tax-savings solution permitted by Canadian tax legislation and generates the highest levels of wealth in Canada for its clients eclipsing all other savings vehicles such as TFSAs, RESPs, RRSP, and IPPs.

What is your mindset? Are you set up for success?
Our guest today is Thomas Lorini. Thomas is Canadian, however as of 2014, he moved his family from Toronto, Ontario to Orange County, California. Paradise does come at a cost, but they really enjoy living where they do.
Thomas loves real estate and over the years has transitioned it from a hobby into a full-time labour of love. It all started after reading Cashflow Quadrants by Robert Kiyosaki and joining a network of real estate investors that he realized the true benefits and possibilities that real estate could offer. In 2011, he was able to take a HELOC (home equity line of credit) off his principal residency and purchase a small duplex in an A-class rental area. It was from that point that he started creating his own portfolio of cash-flowing assets.
Today, he is laser-focused on purchasing Class B & C cash-flowing properties and partnering with other investors who like the idea of real estate investing but don’t have the time or experience to do so. He currently owns a combination of single-family homes, duplex, triplex and larger mix-used multi-family buildings.
Thomas loves working with people and as a professional real estate agent helps as many people and families as he can make informed decisions when it comes to their homes. He understands that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it’s a life-changing experience. That’s why Thomas and his team are dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized service for all of their clients.
Thomas takes great pride in the relationships that he builds and works relentlessly on his client’s behalf to help them achieve all their real estate goals.
Fun facts about Thomas: He loves coffee…especially cappuccinos, He plays soccer, He loves eating spinach and rappini (Google it!), he teaches Sunday school, his favourite number is 7, he loves the beach (I would too if I live in Orange County, CA!), and he was born in Canada.

After graduating from the University of Toronto in 2012, Georges picked up a full time office job with a tech company. He quickly realized how miserable he was. After a really LONG period of reflection, he realized he'd be much happier in real estate. He thought to himself, "what can I do every day for the next 10 years and wake up feeling happy?". The answer was clear. He got his realtor's license knowing that one day he would become a real estate investor.
After completing the "BRRR" strategy for the first time in 2017, he was hooked. Since then, He's been obsessed with the idea of building wealth and helping others do the same.
Where does the market go from here?

Waylon started his career in real estate in 2019 by talking to his future wife into buying a property using her first time home buyer credit. He had a great career and access to lines of credit, but basically no capital so he learned about private money, partnered with other investors and other creative ways to make deals. After doing a buy and hold, a duplex conversion and a cottage rental Waylon ran out of funds so he
started focusing on learning to wholesale to make active income to supplement his investing. Since then he has partnered with Austin Yeh and scaled to a team of 7 at Fast Ontario Home Buyer. They have wholesaled around 30 deals this year and have purchased 16 units between North Bay and Sudbury in that time.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Rizwan Malik. Selling swanky suites and homes to satisfy and serve – say that ten times fast. That’s what realtor extraordinaire Rizwan Malik does every day in his job, and the roots go far back. As a teenager, he worked at a pet shop where not only did his love of animals grow, but his selling skills did, too. And that passion for sales and innate go-getter spirit only continued to flourish throughout his life. Rizwan moved to Toronto in 1994, long before Drake dubbed the city “The 6ix.” While completing his bachelor’s degree in Commerce at Ryerson University, Rizwan earned his real estate license and eventually was named the youngest Vice President of Sales ever at Sotheby's International Realty Canada. If that wasn’t noteworthy enough, in 2020 Rizwan's charm, charisma, and extensive expertise in real estate saw him cast as one of the hosts on HGTV Canada’s Hot Market where he helped affluent clientele find their dream homes. If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Rizwan, you know he was born to be in front of the camera where his outgoing personality couples fabulously with his vast knowledge base.
Rizwan shares with us his opinion on how COVID has impacted the Luxury Market.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Austin Yeh. Austin started exploring the world of real estate investing after reading the classic book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. At the age of 23, he purchased his first property in Windsor, Ontario without having the right systems, teams, knowledge, or education in place. Although the deal was still profitable, Austin learned from the mistakes he made in his first investment and decided to spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars building his real estate IQ with the help of some of the most respected Canadian real estate investors. Fast forward and Austin has spoken in front of an audience of over 300 investors at one of the largest real estate conferences in Ontario and has founded the RISE Network which has grown to over 300 members and has attracted over 70+ attendees in the monthly events.
Austin shares with us the full story of his success in Real Estate.
