Are you a Canadian real estate investor looking to make a splash in the US, but feeling held back by common myths about investing across the border? Have you heard that the process is too complicated, too risky, or simply not worth the trouble?
Let’s bust those myths once and for all. Here are three major myths about investing in US real estate as a Canadian, and Glen Sutherland is here to share the truth with you, an expert in navigating the complexities of investing in US properties as a Canadian.
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Decode differentiating factors and hurdles Canadian investors face in the US real estate market.
- Identify frequent blunders committed by Canadians while venturing into the US property sphere.
- Gain proficiency in effective tactics to achieve fruitful outcomes in US real estate ventures.
- Recognize the value of forming a robust squad and skillfully tackling risks in property investing.
- Learn to adjust to dynamic market conditions using insights garnered from the COVID-19 crisis.
The resources mentioned in this episode are:
- Consider investing in the US to take advantage of more landlord-friendly laws and lower price points.
- Diversify your portfolio by investing in different asset classes and markets to hedge against economic uncertainty.
- Start with one strategy and market before expanding to others to build relationships with property managers and contractors.
- Be aware of the potential disadvantages of investing in the US, such as higher lending rates, currency exchange risks, lack of privacy, and dealing with taxes in two different countries.
- Research specific markets in the US, such as the southern and coastal areas for appreciation and the Midwest for cash flow.
- Look into investing in both single-family homes and multi-unit properties to maximize income streams.
- Don’t be afraid to get started and learn as you go, but seek training, coaching, and mentoring to avoid common mistakes.
Mistakes Canadians Make
Canadian investors should be aware of the potential pitfalls when investing in the US market. These can include assuming the investment process is the same as in Canada, buying off the MLS at fair market value, and a lack of understanding of local school zones or crime maps.
Additionally, managing the legal and tax implications surrounding cross-border investments can be a common stumbling block for investors. Glen Sutherland advises avoiding these mistakes by doing proper research, seeking professional guidance, and understanding the nuances of the American real estate market.
He also suggests getting the contractor going with some materials and then doing it like draws by paying for only completed work to avoid losing money should the contractor walk away.
Reasons to Invest in the US
The United States offers numerous advantages for Canadian real estate investors, including favourable landlord laws, rent-to-value ratios, and pricing. Many have found that investing in the US can lead to higher cash flow and better return on investment compared to the Canadian market.
However, it’s important to consider the disadvantages such as the high cost of lending, exposure to currency exchange, and lack of privacy. By carefully weighing the pros and cons, investors can determine if investing in the US is the right fit for their portfolio.

Persistence in the face of challenges and setbacks is integral to achieving success. Staying committed to one’s goals and consistently working to achieve them helps build the resilience needed to weather adversities. Demonstrating persistence ensures that one continues to move forward, learn from experiences, and grow both personally and professionally.

Passive investing is an investment strategy that seeks to generate consistent returns over time without the need for constant monitoring and decision-making. It involves allocating funds to a well-diversified portfolio, typically designed to track a specific market index or sector.
In this week’s podcast episode, you will be able to:
1. Discover the potential opportunities in private equity investments amid the shifting real estate landscape during COVID-19.
2. Uncover the significance of diversification for a thriving investment portfolio.
3. Discern the differences and implications of passive and active investing in real estate.
4. Explore various investment options tailored to suit distinct financial situations.
5. Recognize the value of education and relationship cultivation for informed investing decisions.
Our guest is Steve Blasiak, an insightful and experienced private equity investor who passionately shares his knowledge in the realm of real estate investing. Steve has successfully navigated the ever-changing real estate market, particularly amid the COVID-19 pandemic, by adapting and embracing new opportunities.
Passive investing can allow investors to achieve steady growth while minimizing the time and effort required to actively manage their investments. This approach often involves holding onto assets for an extended period, letting time work its magic on the investments, and generating returns through compound interest.
This strategy and approach may not be for everyone, as some individuals might prefer the control and potentially higher returns of active investments. However, for those who are open to a more hands-off approach, there is a wide range of investment options available, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and private equity funds.
By patiently allowing time to work on their investments and diversifying their assets, investors can potentially reap significant benefits over the long-term.
Steve’s expertise in private passive real estate investments has enabled him to thrive during challenging times, doubling his sales and helping his clients diversify their portfolios. With a keen eye for identifying lucrative investments, Steve’s approach ensures that his clients can achieve their financial goals while mitigating risks.

James Knull, a realtor based on the West Coast, discusses strategies for cash flow properties in Western Canada in light of recent interest rate hikes. One suggestion he has is increasing the down payment, which can offset some of the costs associated with higher monthly payments.
In this week’s podcast episode, James discusses two strategies for increasing cash flow from rental properties: increasing rent and adding short-term rentals. Additionally, he suggests that self-property management can help reduce expenses.
There is a collection of buildings in Vancouver that are now opened up to allow executive rentals on a month-to-month basis. This has increased the amount of available rental inventory in Vancouver. In Edmonton, Alberta, it is easier to rent on a nightly basis due to fewer regulations. In Vancouver, it is still possible to rent on a nightly basis, but it is more difficult.
It is competitive to buy multifamily buildings in Edmonton right now because there are a lot of people who are interested in investing in them. However, there are also a lot of people who are trying to tie up buildings who don’t actually have the capital available to close on the building.
Multi-family realtors in Edmonton spend a lot of time vetting buyers to make sure that deals are likely to go through. This is because the due diligence process for a commercial or multi-family property can take a couple of months, during which time a lot can change in the market. As a result, serious buyers need to be organized and ready to move quickly.
James discusses the recent change to zoning bylaws in Edmonton that now allow for multi-unit dwellings in core neighbourhoods. This change was made in an effort to combat urban sprawl and make the city more sustainable. Investors are targeting these properties because they are cheap and offer a lot of potential for cash flow.
In this interview, James Knull talks about the importance of consistency in real estate investing. He also discusses the changes in Vancouver’s laws regarding short-term rentals, and how this can impact investors. Finally, he gives some advice on how to establish oneself as a serious buyer in order to be ready to purchase a property when the right one comes along.

The biggest fear that real estate investors have in getting into larger residential units is that they will be intimidated by the size of the investment. However, our guest this week, Seth Ferguson reassures us that as long as we have a repeatable system in place, the intimidation factor goes away.
He talks about his journey as a real estate investor, including the advice he received to invest in bigger deals. He attributes his success to his boldness, which has allowed him to do things that others may be afraid to do.
Seth is also the founder of The Multifamily Conference – the crazy guy who put together the first event in the middle of a global shutdown because a) he is stubborn and b) he is a firm believer that face-to-face networking is the foundation of real estate.

https://multifamilyconference.ca/ref/theREITEclub/
He specializes in multifamily real estate investing. In this week’s podcast episode, he discusses the benefits of investing in larger multifamily units as opposed to smaller units.
Larger deals are less risky and better because of 3 factors;
- Better debt options
- Increased cash flow
- Economies of scale
He discusses the value add strategy for commercial real estate investing. This strategy involves buying an underperforming asset, making improvements to it, and then selling it.
It is possible to compete against the big guys when buying larger apartment buildings, but it depends on the niche that the investor is in. It is also possible to build a portfolio of smaller buildings that do well.
Seth also mentions that syndication is a good option for investors looking to acquire larger buildings. Syndication is a way for passive investors to pool their money together and invest it with a general partner, who then manages the deal to earn a return. He notes that the syndication model offers many advantages over traditional real estate investing, including the ability to participate in larger deals and the protection of passive investors’ initial capital.
He also outlines three steps that someone interested in large multifamily real estate investing should take. They should;
- Determine what type of portfolio they want to build and research investment markets.
- Assemble a team of experts and figure out how to structure deals and raise money.
- Underwrite deals and create a deal flow.
It can take a long time to go from deciding to invest in real estate to actually making an offer on a multi-family property, depending on various factors. Seth Ferguson teaches people how to successfully invest in their first apartment deal. He says that the first deal is always the hardest, but that it gets easier with experience.
A 14-year real estate veteran, Seth is the host of a cable TV real estate show, the host of a real estate investing podcast, and the founder of Moguls Mastermind: an invite-only collective of the top real estate thought leaders from across North America.
He is the CEO of the real estate investment company Multifamily Real Estate Investments Inc which provides investment opportunities for high-net-worth individuals by acquiring and improving underperforming apartment buildings.

Jamil Rahemtulla is a real estate investor and agent based in Hamilton, Ontario. He helps clients invest in various types of properties, including residential and commercial, and he focuses on student rentals specifically. He markets himself to clients by doing extensive due diligence on properties and screening them for value-adds that align with his clients’ needs.
He highlights that it is important to find an agent who is willing to do research and provide information on properties, rather than just selling based on emotion. It is important to be aware of what is happening in the market and to find an agent who is willing to do their due diligence in order to get the best deal possible. Asking the right questions is key, and investors should be aware of all expenses associated with a property before making an offer.
Jamil also talked about his own portfolio, which includes student rentals, multi-family properties, and commercial buildings. He suggests that landlords should focus on upgrading their properties to attract tenants who are willing to pay higher rents.
He shares that to attract certain tenant profiles he works by furnishing and decorating the rental units in a certain way. He mentions that they used to offer furniture rentals for a dollar a day, but they stopped because it became too cumbersome. They also mention that they sometimes offer to paint an accent wall for tenants who sign a lease at the right time.
Jamil’s first real estate purchase was a student rental property in 2008. He paid a premium for the property, but he still owns it today. He bought the property because he had been reading Don Campbell’s books and wanted to get into the real estate investing business.
He discusses how he handles student rentals and market turmoil and offers three tips for landlords of student rental properties:
(1) ensure good internet service by testing in every room;
(2) offer appliances like dishwashers and freezers
(3) consider hiring a maid service.
The cleaner can also help landlords keep an eye on the property and report any needed repairs or illegal activity.

Real estate investors, are you aware that some of the recent Federal real estate laws could have tax implications?
One that is catching many investors off guard is the Underused Housing Tax.
Did you even know that in certain circumstances there is a requirement to complete a new tax form for each investment property, and failure to comply will result in a $10,000 fine per property?
Daniel DiManno, Partner at Capstone LLC Chartered Accountants outlines what to expect for filing this April 2023 and subsequent years, what your obligations are, and the implications of not filing or filing incorrectly.
The Reite Club recently hosted an event with Daniel DiManno, CPA, CA, discussing the implications of the Underused Housing Tax Act. Daniel noted that there are severe penalties for failing to file for rental properties by April 30th and that the act could be expensive for investors who are unaware of it.
He also touched on the new anti-flipping rules stating that if you sell a property within 12 months of buying it, you will have to pay business tax on the entire profit, rather than just 50%. There are exceptions to this rule for those who have to sell due to life circumstances.
But the main focus was the “Underused Housing Tax” which is a 1% annual tax that is being imposed on the value of residential real estate in specific circumstances. The tax is meant to target non-primary residences that are left vacant for long periods of time. The tax applies to properties that are not the primary residences of the owners, and that is left vacant for more than six months out of the year.
The new UHT return applies to foreign or domestic non-public corporations, individuals who are non-residents or non-citizens of Canada, trustees of trusts, and partners of partnerships. These people are required to file the return if they own residential rental property. Canadian citizens are not required to file the return unless they are part of a partnership.
This episode discusses the types of property that are exempt from the UHT return, as well as the types of property that are included. It also explains how to determine whether or not a property is considered residential under these rules.
If you own a property that could potentially be considered residential, it could be advisable to file a U H T return in order to avoid any penalties. There are various circumstances under which an individual would be exempt from paying the 1% tax on secondary residences in Ontario. These include if the property is the individual’s primary residence if it is rented out for at least 180 days of the year, if the property is seasonal or inaccessible, if it is undergoing renovation, or if the owner has recently purchased the property. If the owner of the property dies, the executor is also exempt from paying the tax for one year.
The new tax will be 1% of the value of the property, and the value is determined by the most recent sale price or the assessed value based on property tax assessments. The penalties for not filing the return or for not paying the tax on time are quite substantial, and they increase based on the number of months that the return is outstanding.
The Canada Revenue Agency will penalize individuals who do not file a UHT return for each unit they own. The penalties will be multiplied if the individual owns multiple units. The deadline for filing the U H T return is April 30th.
There is some debate among tax experts as to whether or not joint tenants or tenants in common will be considered a partnership for the purposes of the UHT, but it is generally believed that they will not be treated as such. The filing deadline for the UHT has not yet been announced, but it is expected to be sometime in the near future.
Daniel DiManno provides valuable information on the requirements for filing for the CRA including the need to get a RU number, including the need for businesses to call the CRA and obtain the number. He also discusses the implications of a husband and wife owning property jointly with a third party, and how the joint venture would be required to file.

This podcast interview with Andrew Choubeta was eye-opening as he outlines the real estate portfolio he is building in Ethiopia. He talks about how he saw potential in Ethiopia as an investment opportunity, and how it has turned out to be very lucrative for those who have invested there.
Andrew is building a diversified portfolio between agricultural land, apartment blocks, and duplexes/triplexes. He mentions that leasing land is common in Ethiopia and other African countries, and can be for a significant period of time, which gives some reassurance to investors and that it is usually possible to renew the lease.
Some key takeaways include;
- The importance of learning the local language when investing in a new country
- Benefits of getting on the ground and experiencing things first-hand
- Networking and connecting with people in the country
- The importance of finding a business contact who can help with the nitty gritty details of investing in a new country.
Some people are choosing to invest in Ethiopia, despite the perception of the country being unstable and dangerous. They believe that Ethiopia is still a great investment, due to the low prices of properties and the increasing number of tourists.
The government is very welcoming to foreign investors and offers a number of benefits, including guaranteed loans. Additionally, the cost of living is very low and the laws surrounding property ownership and rentals are not as strict as they are in other countries, making it easier to invest in Ethiopia.
Because it’s getting harder and harder to find good investment opportunities locally many people are looking at other options outside of Canada. Andrew suggests that new investors look at Africa as a potential safe investment and that the biggest hurdle to overcome is the language and cultural barrier.

When Mathew Frederick, an investor of 38 years, faces looming recessions he tightens up, seeking efficiency and increasing revenue, but when COVID hits, he finds a new way to leverage the situation to his advantage, creating a compelling central conflict between his need to survive and his goal to make life better for himself and those he loves.
“What I’ve always done in these times is to tighten up. So a lot of people look at how I make more money. I first look at how I make everything more efficient. And then at the same time, I’ll actually look to increase my revenue as well. So again, I don’t worry as much about the situations I cannot control. What I can do is control me.”
Mathew Frederick is an experienced real estate investor who has been investing since 1984 and has gone through three recessions. He specializes in commercial real estate investments, including multifamily, strip plazas, and self-storage.
Having experienced three recessions in various places Mathew could be cautious, but rather than worrying about something he could not control, he chose to focus on what he could. He tightened his budget and used the time to learn, investing in himself so he could be prepared for the next recession.
He started out small, investing in two to three units, but then grew to thirty. He learned how to be efficient, and how to make his investments recession-, internet-, and pandemic-proof. After 38 years of investing, Mathew had become a master of knowing his expertise and adapting to survive any situation.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How to survive and thrive during a recession by controlling your own actions and taking the time to learn.
2. The pros and cons of investing in different asset types such as multifamily, strip plazas, self-storage, and warehousing.

Mike Beer is a full-time real estate investor and former IT executive who immigrated to Canada from communist Poland. He is currently investing in multifamily properties in Kitchener, Hamilton, London, and Toronto.
Mike grew up in communist Poland and his parents had to bribe officials with coffee to get passports to escape. At a young age, he had to take a leap of faith and jump into the deep end of the pool to get a swimming card, despite barely knowing how to swim.
This experience combined with his parents’ struggle and the scarcity mindset he grew up with ignited a drive in him to make money and he found that in real estate investing. Through his mentor and his team, he overcame his scarcity mindset and grew his real estate portfolio, eventually realizing he didn’t need a salary to survive.
His biggest lesson learned was to always find a property manager that specialized in the market you’re investing in to avoid costly mistakes.
In this week’s podcast episode, you will learn the following:
1. How Mike used his parents’ desire to escape from communist Poland to move to Canada as motivation to build a successful real estate career.
2. How Mike overcame a scarcity mentality and leveraged his team to buy multifamily buildings.
3. How to manage a portfolio of student properties in Hamilton to maximize returns.

The podcast this week discusses the reasons why people are looking to pivot to midterm rentals, citing reasons such as the control over the guest population that midterm rentals offer. It also discusses how the economy affects the short-term rental market, and how this can be an advantage for midterm rentals.
It is becoming harder to run short-term rentals, as municipalities are banning them or putting restrictions on them. Mid-term rentals are a good option for those looking to still make money in the rental market, as they are less likely to face rules and regulations. Location is important when considering a mid-term rental, as it should be in an area that is attractive to potential guests.
Guests Sarah Larbi and Aisha Govani explain that it is important to target guests and make connections with them in order to increase occupancy levels at a property. They also advise that property owners ensure that the finishes and renovations at their property are of high quality in order to attract and retain guests.
Sarah Larbi and Aisha Govani are the co-founders of Mid Term Rental Properties Inc. an executive and corporate property rental company. They offer a variety of services, including housekeeping, lawn care, and chef services. They are currently working on expanding their services to include preferred vendor discounts and meal delivery.

Andrea Hodson is an incredible woman who has accomplished a lot in her life. She is humble and down to earth, and she credits her success to her ability to network and build relationships with people. Andrea’s most significant piece of advice for networking is to focus on quality over quantity – it’s more important to develop good relationships with a few people than to try to talk to everyone in the room.
Andrea started investing in real estate when she was 25 years old and living at her parents’ house. She bought a few properties that were student rentals and then took a few years off to renovate them.
In 2009-2010, Andrea started investing in real estate and continued until 2017 when she picked up her first commercial property. In 2019, she had her daughter and decided to continue the real estate journey. She started looking for properties outside of her area and comfort zone in 2020-2021 and picked up 59 units in New Brunswick. She is now trying to grow her business by partnering with others.
The conversation also covers time management tips and tricks. Andrea recommends time blocking and habit stacking as two effective methods for staying on top of tasks and goals. She stresses the importance of having a growth mindset and getting out of your comfort zone in order to learn about something new.

This week’s podcast guest is Sandro Ferreira, a Brazilian Canadian entrepreneur, real estate investor, certified coach, and professional public speaker. Sandro talks about his journey from working a nine-to-five job to becoming a full-time real estate investor and shares some tips on how to be successful in the industry.
Sandro immigrated to Canada in 2010 with the intention of buying a property. He found a condo that he liked but didn’t have the money for the down payment. He decided to use the money he had set aside for taxes to make the down payment, and ended up financing the purchase through the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA)!
He then bought a second condo in the same building for investment purposes. In 2017, he started renting rooms in the investment condo to students, and the business was doing well until the pandemic hit in 2020. At that point, he realized he needed to get more education in order to continue growing his business. In 2019 he met a mentor, and by 2021 he had graduated from the program and owned 114 properties.
Sandro discusses the importance of having a positive mindset when pursuing goals. Sandro talks about how he was turned down many times when trying to get into the real estate investing business, but he never gave up. He says that he always pushes himself to prove people wrong and that he has never wanted to be the smartest person in the room. He feels that it is important to choose one thing and stick with it in order to be successful.
Sandro talks about his passion for real estate and how it has helped him to transform lives. He also discusses how he uses coaching to help him cope with bad days. When asked about a major lesson learned in his journey, he talks about the importance of following your dreams.
The major lesson is that we should never doubt our own abilities. If we believe that we can do something, we are more likely to be successful. This is especially important when starting out in business, as we may be limited by our own beliefs. To be successful, we should surround ourselves with people who have already achieved what we want to achieve, so that they can provide guidance and support. Finally, we should invest in our education so that we can change our lives and the lives of those around us.

Our podcast guest this week is Monica Jazyk, a mother of four who chose to stay home with her children instead of pursuing a career in education. After the 2008 financial crisis, Monica realized that she and her husband needed to do something different in order to achieve their savings goals.
In this episode, Monica discusses her journey to financial success and how she has helped her family achieve their goals.
She talks about how they changed their approach to finances after realizing that the traditional methods weren’t working for them. They decided to invest in real estate, which they felt was more achievable than they had initially thought. They also felt that this would give them a better chance to improve their financial literacy and knowledge.
They started investing in real estate by purchasing a ski condo in Blue Mountain. They had no previous experience or education in real estate investing, but they were familiar with the area and felt it was a safe investment. They did eventually add value to the property through renovations, but they didn’t know about important factors like condo fees and shoulder season vacancy rates. As a result, the condo ended up being a financial burden rather than a source of income.
Later they made the decision to purchase a property in Timmins, Ontario, based on the high rents and low prices. However, they eventually sold the property after the mines in the area closed down, leading to a loss of jobs and decreased demand for housing.
As a real estate investor, Monica is currently focused on investing in high-growth areas with strong economic fundamentals. She prefers to work with joint venture partners in order to take advantage of development opportunities and generate returns for her partners.
Monica feels that in the next few years, there will be some exciting opportunities for investors, as interest rates are expected to go down again. Those who are strategic about their investments and understand the market cycles will be in a good position to take advantage of these opportunities.
As the founder of the RPI Education group, Monica’s hope is to spread the word about wealth secrets and improve financial literacy among its members. One of the ways they are doing this is through the Wealth Immersion program, which offers resources like videos, worksheets, and group coaching.

Tracey Fines is a real estate investor who has been flipping houses for 27 years. She is passionate about helping others achieve their real estate investing goals. In her recent presentation at a real estate investing event in Ottawa, she impressed Daniel St Jean and Victoria Cluney so much that they invited her to be a guest on the podcast. During the podcast, Tracy shares her story and some tips on how to be successful in real estate investing.
Tracey Fines spoke about her journey from being a nine-to-five employee to an entrepreneur, and how emotional the transition can be. She also talked about how she made the leap and what propelled her to continue doing what she loves.
She started off “accidentally” in the property business 15 years ago. She was able to buy her first property and then took advantage of the opportunity to buy a luxury flip property. She talks about how she found these properties and how the financial situation in North America allows people to own their own property.
Beginning her career as a corporate interior designer in 1990, six years later, she transitioned out of the nine-to-five job and into flipping homes. She did this for a number of years until she was finally able to leave her day job and pursue design full-time.
When taking a break from her career to have a baby, she then decided to continue flipping properties full-time.
She is always looking to challenge herself and grow, which has led to the success she has had with more complex flips. She has done up to three multimillion-dollar flips at a time in the past but prefers to focus on one big project at a time now. Her biggest project to date is a 10 million-dollar house in Yorkville.
Tracey Fines talks about how people can get stronger and grow from challenges, and how viewing challenges as opportunities for growth can lead to more success. She also talks about her own journey with personal development and therapy, and how she has used her challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.
She attributes her success to her ability to think creatively and see potential where others might not, as well as her willingness to take risks.

Daniel St Jean and Sarah Larbi interview Ryan Carson from Carson Law. They discuss common mistakes people make in real estate investing, and how to prevent them.
Ryan discusses the importance of estate planning for real estate investors. They say that it is often neglected or put on the back burner, but it is actually very important. Right now is a great time to do this kind of planning, because there are fewer deals being done.
They also talk about opportunities in the market today.
There has been a decrease in business volume due to the sharp increase in interest rates. However, prices have also come down correspondingly, so people can still have a good cash flow.
They discuss how the current market conditions present an opportunity for investors. They note that prices are lower and there is less competition from other buyers, making it a good time to invest.
-
Even though interest rates have gone up, there are still many benefits to buying a property now, including lower prices and,
-
Ryan recommends that buyers include conditions in their contracts, such as inspections and finance approvals, in order to protect themselves.
This episode discusses the importance of having a proper inspection done on a property before finalizing the purchase, as well as how the inspection can be used to negotiate a lower price.
The question is whether it is better to buy a property with existing tenants in order to have the immediate cash flow or to buy a property intending to renovate it and then re-rent it at a higher rate. If the latter, the buyer needs to make sure that the seller agrees to terminate all existing leases prior to closing.
It is better to have a vacant property when selling, as it is more marketable. If there are tenants in the property, they may try to stay even after being given notice, which can be a problem for the new buyer.
The best way to deal with tenants in order to sell a property Ryan suggests giving the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement or terminating the tenancy so that the property can be listed empty. There is a risk that the tenants could come back if they are not given proper notice, but the speaker suggests that this is a risk worth taking in order to get the best possible price for the property.
Ryan discusses the importance of ensuring that all paperwork is in order when terminating a tenant’s lease in Ontario. They mention that the process can be tricky, and it is important to make sure that all notices are served correctly. Finally, Ryan Carson advises that anyone expecting to get vacant possession should leave themselves a buffer in case the tenants have not yet started packing.
They also cover Joint Venture agreements. The number one tip for setting up a successful joint venture is to document the potential problems that could arise and how to exit the venture if those problems occur. Other important factors to consider include each partner’s expected rate of return and what will happen if the project is unsuccessful.
It is important to have well-documented and signed agreements in place from the beginning of a joint venture in order to avoid arguments and legal issues down the road. Additionally, all parties should have independent legal advice to ensure that the agreement is binding and enforceable. It is also important to have a plan in place for how to deal with additional capital needs that may arise during the course of the venture.
The biggest mistake investors make when hiring a lawyer is waiting until the last minute to do so. This can often lead to missing out on potential opportunities to save money and protect themselves from legal issues down the road.
It is important to involve a lawyer early on in the process of negotiating and closing a deal, as they can provide valuable input and help prevent any last-minute issues. It is recommended to pick a lawyer who specializes in real estate, rather than using a family lawyer or someone who has handled a previous divorce, for example.
Always work with an experienced real estate lawyer who is familiar with investing. This will ensure that they are knowledgeable of the law and can relate to the investor’s situation.
Carson Law would like to invite listeners to follow them on social media or their website to learn more about their services in law. They specialize in working with investors and offer advice for those just getting started or in growth mode. Contact https://www.carsonlaw.ca/

In this podcast episode, Daniel St Jean and Victoria Cluney talk with Jacqueline Marshall, a real estate investor. Jacqueline covers her background and shares how she got started in real estate investing, despite not knowing anything about it at the time. She talks about how she is the poster child for someone who can be successful in real estate investing without having everything figured out beforehand.
Jacqueline got into investing in real estate accidentally, but after a few years, she decided to make it intentional. She realized that the passive income from her rentals was replacing her income from dental hygiene, so she decided to focus on real estate investing full-time.
She shares her experience flipping houses, and how she got into the business with no prior knowledge or experience and used YouTube to teach herself DIY skills. She emphasizes the importance of finding an investor-friendly real estate agent and shares her strategy for flipping houses in the current market landscape.
Jacqueline has been investing in real estate for over 7 years and teaching others how to do the same for 2 years. She believes that anyone can be successful in real estate investing, regardless of experience or resources, as long as they have grit and determination. This was instilled in Jacqueline Marshall from a young age by her mother. Even after facing challenges, she has persevered and achieved a great deal of success in her career as a real estate investor.
She recommends that new investors focus on one asset class and gain knowledge about that area before moving on to other investment opportunities. Successful people have to be prepared to face challenges and setbacks. They also have to be willing to work hard and be tenacious.
The conversation also covers the importance of confidence for women in male-dominated industries. It cites Jacqueline as an example of a woman who has been successful in real estate despite not fitting the stereotype of what a “successful” investor looks like. She emphasizes the importance of taking control and doing research in order to be knowledgeable about what you are hiring for.

This podcast features a conversation with two real estate investors and realtors from Calgary, Anthony Therrien-Bernard and Santosh Nathan. They discuss their own real estate investing experiences and strategies, as well as the market in Calgary.
Santhosh Nathan started investing in real estate while he was still a student at university in order to become financially independent. He did this by saving up money from his military service and using his mother as a co-signer on his first mortgage.
In 2012, Anthony Therrien-Bernard started buying property in Calgary. Despite the oil and gas crash of 2014-2015, their properties performed well. They attribute this to their investing strategies.
The speakers discuss how they got started in real estate investing and the changes they’ve seen in the market over the years. They mention that prices have gone up, but they both feel that it’s still a good time to invest.
The two realtors met randomly and decided to work together because they both have experience with real estate investing. They help investors find properties that fit their needs and budget.
They are both investors first and realtors second, and they feel that this gives them a unique perspective on the real estate market. They enjoy working with investors and feel that they are able to provide a valuable service to their clients.
The pros and cons of being a realtor and a real estate investor are discussed. The overlap between the two professions is also discussed. Strategies for getting started in real estate investing are recommended.
The Real Estate Investing Academy helps people by providing guidance on what strategy may be best for them, depending on their goals and risk tolerance. They also have a Facebook community where people can ask questions and connect with other investors.
In the Calgary real estate market, there has been a shift in prices due to seasonality. Properties are no longer selling for significantly above market value, and investors are more cautious about making purchase decisions. Real estate agents are working to provide more accurate projections and information to their clients to help them make informed investment decisions.
It seems that many buyers in Calgary are looking for properties with a “vendor takeback” option, where the seller holds the mortgage for a few years while the buyer makes the payments. However, sellers are often reluctant to do this. There is also less inventory on the market, which is keeping prices high.
The content discusses how it can be difficult to find financing for real estate investments, especially when the economy is struggling. However, things are beginning to improve, and investors from outside of Alberta are starting to show interest in the market again.
Santhosh Nathan and Anthony Therrien-Bernard discuss their favourite resources for real estate investing and the attributes that have made them successful. They both recommend podcasts and books as great resources for learning and emphasize the importance of having a long-term perspective in real estate investing.
They discuss the importance of getting into the market quickly and offer advice for those considering investing in real estate. In order to be successful in real estate investing, it is important to be analytical and have perseverance. Additionally, it is important to treat tenants more like customers than friends in order to stay firm with lease agreements.

Brooke Shang is a real estate investor who has only been investing for five years but has already done numerous deals and adapted her strategies to the market.
She started investing in real estate in order to create wealth and reduce taxes and as a side hustle while working a full-time job. She was able to be flexible with her job in terms of hours and location, which allowed her to invest more time in real estate.
Brooke took weekend courses and studied during the week, and also had a mentor who was already experienced in the field. She advises other investors to build up a power team of supportive people, including a network of other investors, a realtor, a lawyer, and a mortgage broker.
Her first investment property was her previous home, a condo in Toronto. Brooke has since converted a few duplexes into income properties and focuses on strategies that generate cash flow.
In this week’s podcast conversation, Brooke discusses different real estate investing strategies and how new investors can choose the right one for them. She recommends setting goals first and then learning about different strategies and how to properly execute them. She also says that it is possible to focus on more than one strategy at a time. She also discusses the importance of mindset and education when it comes to real estate investing. She also stresses the importance of creating a win-win situation for both parties involved in a deal.
Brooke wanted to write a book to show her son that it could be done and to brand herself. She ended up writing it with her son as an accountability partner, and they finished it in a matter of months. The book is about helping investors invest in real estate, with a focus on mindset and strategy. The author’s goal is to help readers feel comfortable getting started, and the book covers lease options and creative financing wholesaling.
The best advice Brooke has ever received is to learn like you’re going to die. This means being humble and constantly learning in order to be successful. The hardest thing she’s had to learn is to overcome fear, which can be self-doubt.

Our guest this week is Michal Liviatan of Lendai.us, a real estate lending platform. In this interview, she discusses the importance of customer service and how the market has changed before and after COVID-19. She also mentions which markets are the most popular among Canadian investors and where she personally goes for resources.
Michal Liviatan is the head of the Canadian arm of Lendai, a US-based private lender that focuses on financing foreigners investing in US real estate. Michal has a background in the food and beverage industry. In her role as partner and customer success manager, she works with other professionals, realtors, and brokers to help foreign investors finance their US real estate purchases.
She describes how her experience in the food industry has helped her excel in her current role in the financial sector. She highlights the importance of excellent customer service and of being able to translate between Canadian and US investment markets. The Lendai team helps Canadians secure financing for their investments in the US. They offer due diligence, documentation, and turnarounds for their clients. The company was started in early 2019 by four foreigners to the US.
Michal discusses where Canadians have been investing in real estate in the US over the past few years. She notes that popular areas have been those that are within driving distance from Canada, such as Michigan, as well as California, New York, and Hawaii. He also notes that Arizona and Florida have been popular choices for Canadians looking to invest in real estate.
She notes that the market has changed due to the pandemic and that investors are now looking for shorter-term investments that will provide a higher return on investment. Lendai is currently exploring options for new products that will be available in the market.
The best advice Michal Liviatan has ever received from another investor is to always be aware of the exchange rate when dealing with foreign currencies. This will help minimize exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

Alisha Fuss and Patrick Bobczynski have been investing in real estate for a little over a year and a half, and they’re currently focusing on properties in the Calgary area. Living through renovations can be tough, but they’ve managed to stay together and have some fun along the way. The couple offers some great advice for other investors, including tips on how to avoid getting overwhelmed by all the information out there.
Alisha and Patrick discuss their strategy for investing in properties with illegal basement suites. They explained that it is easier to legalize an existing suite than to add one from scratch. They also discussed the requirements for adding a basement suite from scratch, which includes two furnaces, insulation, and drywall.
Both are real estate agents who specialize in finding and updating illegal basement suites. They say that it is relatively easy to update an illegal suite into a legal one and that doing so can save the owner a lot of money. They advise people interested in this type of investment to just dive in and not get overwhelmed by the information out there.
They discuss the importance of taking action and not over-analyzing when it comes to real estate investing. They mention that interest rates have been low for years and are now starting to rise again, which can be a good time to buy for investors. They also talk about a renovation project they are currently working on that is fairly extensive.
It is possible to save money by doing some of the work on a property oneself, and that YouTube can be a helpful resource for learning how to do this. They also say that finding good contractors is the most important thing.
The episode also covers how to save money on home renovation costs by doing some tasks yourself, such as painting and flooring. It also mentions that demolition can be tricky if you don’t know how the finished product will look, so it’s important to be thoughtful about what you’re taking out. The couple advises that if you are considering doing your own demolition for your home renovation project, it is smart to get someone else’s opinion who has done it before or is a contractor. They also say that it is important to have somebody to ask tough questions to when you are unsure what to do during the renovation process.
The best advice that Alisha and Patrick have received is to focus on one strategy and to get really good at it. This way, they can avoid getting distracted and can make the most of their time and resources. They also talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are doing what you want to be doing, in order to change your life.

- The landlord-tenant board in Florida is different than in Canada, and it is possible to raise the rent by a significant amount with only 60 days’ notice.
Brian discusses opportunities for investment in the US, specifically mentioning the potential for increased taxes and down payments for small landlords in Canada. They also talk about the current market conditions and the types of deals that are coming through their brokerage, noting that more investors are interested in flips and buy-to-rent properties.
In the current market, mortgage rates are still reasonable, and there is still an opportunity to cash flow. However, many people are waiting to see what happens with interest rates, which are expected to rise in the next few months.
There is a big opportunity right now for investors to sell non-performing properties and move the capital into vacant or transition rental properties. This is a good time to buy because rents are climbing quickly and mortgage rates are reasonable.
The average person with a $500,000 mortgage has seen their payments increase by $2,600 since interest rates went up in March. This is not a large amount, but it could cause some hardship for people who are already struggling. Salemi is hopeful that rates will eventually come down again, but it is unlikely to happen in the next year.
Investors are often advised to buy when there is little interest in the market, as this is when prices are low. However, this logic does not always apply in today’s market, where high-interest rates and high debts are present. Brian Hogben suggests that instead of waiting for a crash, investors should buy now while prices are still low.
-
Social media is playing a big role in the real estate market now.
-
There is a shortage of supply now, due to the global pandemic.
-
Record numbers of immigration are expected in the next 12 months.
There is a risk right now, but if you’re buying and holding for the long term, you can’t go wrong. If you wait to try to hit the bottom, you might miss out on a good opportunity. Taking out equity from your house to buy an investment property is a good idea in this market.
Brian is saying that it is important for mortgage agents to help their clients budget properly because payments are going to go up for some people and they need to be prepared. They also say that it is important to start the conversation with payment, not with rate, in order to avoid payment shock.
He discusses the importance of budgeting and financial planning, especially in light of recent economic concerns. They emphasize that most people are actually doing okay, but that a lot of fear and anxiety could be alleviated if we just had a better sense of our finances. They encourage people to write things down and budget carefully in order to weather any potential storms.
The best advice Brian Hogben has ever received from another investor is to just do it now. He also believes that taking immediate action is key to success in real estate investing. His favorite real estate investing resource is the REITE Club.

"The best investment you can make is the investment in yourself."
Dylan Suitor is a Realtor, real estate investor, entrepreneur, and coach. He is the founder of Elevation Realty and Suitor Enterprises and is passionate about helping others achieve their real estate investing goals.
This is Dylan Suitor's story...
When I was 18, I bought my first investment property - a student rental near the University of Waterloo. I had no idea what I was doing, but my mom thought it would be a good way to teach me responsibility. I went on to buy a few more properties, including a condo and a house that I flipped. In 2017, I missed the market peak by a month or two and ended up renting the house out on Airbnb instead. I started educating myself on real estate investing and quickly realized that the best investment is in yourself. I joined forces with my business partner, Robbie Clark, and we started buying properties, renovating them, and flipping them for a profit. We've now built a portfolio of over 1000 units, including our largest apartment building of 88 units.

Renovations can make or break a real estate investment property and there are a number of factors that will contribute to that.

The next real estate investment markets for Canadians may well NOT be in Canada. As the markets in Canada continue to offer less investing upside either because of expensive inventory, higher interest rates or lower cash flow, many real estate investors are starting to look South of the border.
Is the market that much different in the US? If you look at the more popular areas like California or New York then there is little difference between them and Toronto or Vancouver.
But take a look at cities with a more recent downside and there are plenty of opportunities. Detroit is one such market. Our podcast guests those week, Voytek Mardula and James Lloyd of US Properties.ca have been focused on Detriot for the last 5+ years and have local knowledge and expertise and a full turnkey operation that makes it so much more seamless for Canadians to consider investing in the US.

Growing a successful real estate investing business takes a lot more than a 4-hour work week. In fact our guest this week, Lena Guirguis shared "When you come to terms with there is no work-life balance, it becomes a lot easier to create a balance that works for you."
This philosophy, along with an anything is possible attitude and determination has helped Lena and her husband build several multi-million dollar businesses in real estate. Growing up as older children of immigrants they saw the inequitable way their parents were treated and were determined to not have that happen to them.
They started by taking control of their situation by buying properties that others found difficult to manage and made themselves accessible landlords to their tenants. This approach created a word of mouth that enabled them to scale fast and with great systems in place, they were able to replicate this for other landlords and investors.
With an eye for opportunity and a giving approach, they now run a successful networking and education group for women in several cities, own a construction company and have a 10-year plan to build an intergenerational, affordable sub-division that will fill the gaps they believe exist in many communities.
In this episode you will learn about:
Automation and why it will accelerate your businessHow immigrating to Canada formed her approach to real estateHow being available as landlords attracts better tenants Lessons from working in real estate as a couple Tips for taking care of yourself with time blockingBusting the myth of work-life balance
Lena Guirguis is a Real Estate Advisor, Wealth Coach, and Public Speaker. A self-made millionaire. She has co-founded 6 successful companies including; NV Property Management and Stilettos & Hammers operating in both Canada and the United States.
She began her real estate journey in early 2003 at the age of 21 with the purchase of a mismanaged triplex in Eastern Ontario to buy, fix and hold. With over 15 years of active investing in North America, Lena has experienced firsthand, the ups and downs of the Real Estate market. Despite its cyclic nature, she was able to create scalable systems that allow for continuous growth.
Lena lives by the philosophy: “It doesn’t matter where you come from; it’s where you decide you want to go.” She understands what it is like to work hard for what you have, and in 2016 she embarked on her greatest journey yet, becoming a mom to a rambunctious little girl she proudly calls her “CEO in training”

Guests: Esther Nicolas & Matthew Regan, Real Estate Investors
Esther & Matthew have been together for 12 years and married for 7 years. They live in Ottawa with their two young children and their chocolate lab. They work on a full-time basis and find their careers very fulfilling. Esther is a French teacher and Matthew is a social worker.
Not long after moving to Ottawa, they bought their first home in 2015 and immediately added a secondary dwelling in the lower level of their bungalow. It was at this time that they fully realized the power of real estate investing. They were truly blown away by the passive income generated by ''house hacking'' and what it could do for their family. In 2019, they purchased a townhouse in Ottawa, using the BRRRR method. A few months later, they used the same technique to buy another home in the Ottawa area, detached this time. In 2021, they decided to take their side-hustle to a different level and founded Matter Holdings Corp. They hired a coach to help them scale up and jumped right into multifamily investing. It appears to be paying off as they closed on an out-of-province 25-unit building last June.
In this episode you will learn about:

Guest: Jason Boccinfuso, Real Estate Investor & Land Developer
In today's episode, Daniel St-Jean interviews Jason Boccinfuso about land development and pre-construction opportunities. Jasons says that development is like blank canvas painting! You have to have a vision and understand the constraints you have to work with. Access to services is essential: sewer, water, roads, internet, and more. Knowing where the growth is happening is another must in order to be successful. The money is made on the purchase, not on the sale. You have to make the right decision and build equity right from the start. As a developer, you need to know the official plan very well as this will dictate what kind of development you can pursue with the land you will be acquiring.

Adding basement suites, using secured lines of credit and other creative financing strategies have helped her scale to 3 properties in a short period of time. Appreciation and especially forced appreciation have been the key to Skyleigh's growth strategy.

Guest: François & Jennifer Lanthier, Real Estate Investors
Jennifer and François started out dabbling in real estate. There was no plan... they were saving for down payments, using their own credit, and eventually hit a financing wall. They were focusing on secondary markets for higher cash flow and they didn't pay attention to appreciation.
Eventually, they chose to enroll in a mentoring program to grow and start using OPM. At that point, they saw an opportunity in distant markets and they're now investing in eastern Canada, northern USA and now looking abroad.
Another big lesson they learned is that bad property management can be VERY detrimental. It's a very open conversation, tune in to find out more.

Natasha has been a realtor for over 12 years and her focus is now on out-of-province investors that are looking for turn-key, cash-flowing properties. She recommends investors keep a close eye on market variations as they can greatly impact their bottom line.

He learned how carrying costs and hard money is expensive. However, thanks to his network and his power team he found that hard money can help you scale and if well managed can help you grow quickly.

In this episode, Laurel was able to ask questions gathered from the REITE Club community about what the economy could look like in the next few months and years. As benchmark prices have risen for housing, the fear of missing out has grown even more causing an overheated market. Policies could be put in place by the government in the coming months to calm things down. RBC isn't predicting a market crash but rather a possibly soft or harder landing with prices stabilizing. Canada had been sustaining a 30% growth in population and supply was way too low to meet demand.

Guest: Bruce Outridge, Author, Speaker, Podcaster, and Television Host
Great branding and marketing strategies are the most important aspects of starting a business. In addition, your "why" is the most important aspect of your business. In fact, it can actually make or break your business. This week's guest, Bruce Outridge, Author, Speaker, Podcaster, and Television Host, provides insights and advice on marketing strategies, content creation and podcasting.
His main message is that thinking outside of the box will help separate your business from other similar businesses and keeping it real and genuine is very important because people see right through that and you won't get very far.
In this episode you will learn about: - Where do the ideas come from? - Different types of marketing - Tips on thinking outside of the box - Branding insights and advice - The different ways to make money on podcasts - Podcast editing tips and tricks
Bruce Outridge's services include: helping people be more creative, content marketing, art entertainment for events, and inspiration for people to help them create the lives they want. He does this through his podcasts, books, articles, television show, and as a motivational speaker.
When your inspiration is drawing, writing, and speaking it can only lead to a person being creative and possibly even a motivational speaker. Bruce started drawing at the age of 10 years old and had to learn it on his own as he found art classes at school didn’t include drawing instruction. In fact, he used to get detentions in school for what he now charges hundreds of dollars for an hour in his art business.
At 16, Bruce's passion for drawing turned to driving and he fell in love with the process. He spent 25 years driving transport trucks across North America which taught him more about dealing with people than school ever did. Bruce still works very closely with the trucking industry speaking on business and careers for the industry. In fact, he has his own podcast for truck drivers called The Lead Pedal Podcast for Truck Drivers.
At the age of 40, Bruce went back to school and that kicked off his entrepreneurial career. He learned creative writing, marketing, business, and he uses all of those skills in his business today. Since starting his art business back in 2003 on a part-time basis, Bruce took it full time in 2006 and stopped driving trucks. Since that time he has created comic books, built an art business, expanded into a consulting business, and now as a professional speaker.
Bruce is a professional member of many local and international organizations such as CAPS (Canadian Association of Professional Speakers), ISCA (International Society of Caricature Artists), Oakville Arts Council, ACC (Association of Canadian Cartoonists), Burlington Chamber of Commerce, and Hamilton Niagara Fleet Safety Council

Guest: Michael Domenichetti, Real Estate Investor & Realtor

So, this week's guest, Michael Domenichetti, Real Estate Investor & Realtor, provides insights and advice on investing in real estate and what a day in the life of a realtor really looks like.

His father also has been a Realtor for over 12 years now and he has been able to work with him learning the trade, as well as working together on transactions.

Attendees are transformed and entertained because aside from his 16 years as a sales executive, Greg also spent 12 years as a duelling piano bar player. Entertaining audiences on 3 continents taught him something about creating a memorable experience.In 2015 Greg’s vocal cords were so badly damaged, that permanent and irreversible loss of his voice was just weeks away. Doctors said he had to have surgery on his voice to have any chance of recovery and they weren’t optimistic. At that time, Greg was living two lives. By day, he was a corporate sales and insurance executive, a career he had thrived in for nearly 20 years. Outside of that suit and tie world, Greg entertained audiences of all sizes as a professional musician and duelling piano player. Over the next 4 years, Greg would undergo 10 surgeries on his voice, each one requiring a long period of total silence post-surgery. During the silent, emotional roller coaster of recovery, he leveraged positive patterns like focus, resilience, attitude and disrupted patterns that no longer served him. This set the foundation for the DisruptionLIVE process, and ultimately the framework of pattern disruption Greg speaks on with audiences and organizations around the globe.

Guest: Adam Martin, Real Estate InvestorIn 25 short years, Adam has had the opportunity to see over 17 countries and driven the entire West Coast from Whistler all the way through California and Death Valley. He holds an honours degree in International Business Management (BBA), has been a partner in three start-up small businesses, and travelled professionally through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba as a door-to-door salesperson. Currently, Adam is the Vice President of Sales for Control Your Property, a cloud-based property management software tailored specifically for Ontario landlords. At 24, Adam quit his job to become a full-time real estate investor working with Matt McKeever and Jeff Wybo. With very little capital and little borrowing power, Adam was forced to get very creative in how he sourced and funded his first deals. Adam’s first deal was executed with a 96% VTB (vendor take back) at 3% for 13 years; the remaining 4% he borrowed as a second mortgage. This deal became a student rental and recently switched it to an Airbnb that he and his girlfriend house hack, allowing him to live for free while still producing cash flow from the building. Having no money tied up in his first property and no borrowing power used from the banks’ perspective, Adam was then able to raise $80,000 and joint venture on a 4 plex in London with partners who had been following him on Instagram over a 6 month period, silently observing. Thanks to strategic renovations and a great purchase price resulting from a private deal, this project represents a perfect BRRRR situation; the money invested will be refinanced leaving $0 in the deal.

However, after recognizing the change in the market, they focused their attention on an additional strategy, creating legal secondary suites on the Hamilton mountain.Jenn and Michael focus on the BRRRR philosophy as it creates passive income for their investors through forced appreciation.

Getting started investing in student rentals helped Matt McKeever to focus on cash flow at the age of 25 while still full-time employed in public practice as a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant).
Guest: Matt McKeever, Real Estate Investor and CPA
Getting started investing in student rentals helped Matt McKeever to focus on cash flow at the age of 25 while still full-time employed in public practice as a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant).
He feared his goal of financial independence and to retire early might not be possible when he hit the 3-5 properties hurdle that many Canadian real estate investors reach after only a few years.
Always resourceful, Matt switched to a job that paid more but that was still not enough. He knew he had to figure out how to speed up the velocity of his money and not rely on doing the one property a year that ‘Matt’s Money’ could facilitate.
He decided that the best way was to learn from others, so he started to network as much as possible both to get insights and ideas and then also to meet investors. Building his portfolio mainly focused on the BRRR strategy, Matt now has 18 properties with around 60 doors and quit his full-time job 3 years ago.
Leveraging technology and setting up standard operating procedures Matt, who lives and runs his business out of a mansion in London, Ontario, is currently in the process of handing over all the day to day management and focus on the strategy and growth.
Originally not seeing the benefit of social media, Matt is now highly active to both promote his business, offer insights to others and also document his own journey on his YouTube channel with over 40,000 subscribers. He also runs networking events including London on FIRE and the OREC Conferences which this year ran in London and Windsor, Ontario. He also is the co-host of the ON FIRE podcast and is a member of the Real Estate Rat Pack.

Guest: Cory Froc, Real Estate Investor
Following a major life shift Cory Froc, who has been in a corporate life throughout his career wanted to have more control over his future. He looked at a number of opportunities including franchising but liked the freedom and flexibility that real estate investing offered him.
In his late 30’s Cory started buying distressed properties in London, fixing them up and refinancing, which he later discovered was called BRRR. Believing transportation as one of the key fundamentals in real estate investing he has spread his portfolio to pre-built condos in Vaughan near a new transport hub. Now, with a couple of joint venture partners, he is looking at properties near to the new GO station in St Catharines.
He is able to have this multi-location strategy because of a big learning curve, not having the best team in place when he was hit in the recession, having 27 doors going from a vacancy rate of zero to 50% in a short space of time. This resulted in his spending weekends in a sleeping bag in his vacant properties and burning through money with negative cash flow. Fortunately, he was able to get beyond that nightmare.
With a constant approach of always expecting the end of a real estate cycle, Cory now has built a robust, multi-million dollar Real Estate Investment Portfolio with 9 properties and has been helping his clients for over 13 years. His passion, vision and expertise in Real Estate Investments have helped him work closely with his clients to get closer to their financial and retirement goals. When he isn’t finding the next great property for his clients, you’ll find Cory spending time with his family or playing a little hockey. In this episode learn about:- Setting up teams in different areas – Key factors you need to reconsider– Insights on certain markets and fundamentals– Cashflow strategies– Understanding Joint Venture partnerships

Life was good by most people’s standards but something was missing for Maria. She loved her family and had a great government job but was restless and feeling unfulfilled. Spending 15 years in this unfulfilled life she made the decision to leave her husband and start a new life with her two girls.
Guest: Maria Esposito, Real Estate Investor and Entrepreneur
Life was good by most people’s standards but something was missing for Maria. She loved her family and had a great government job but was restless and feeling unfulfilled. Spending 15 years in this unfulfilled life she made the decision to leave her husband and start a new life with her two girls.
In 2015 she left the security of that government job and pension, liquidated all of her assets and reinvested her life’s savings in the personal development of herself. Having been born and raised in St. Catharines and having such a passion for the region, it made total sense for her to focus her real estate investing business in the area.
Maria is now the CEO of Elite Property Investments Inc. a real estate investment company that she founded together with her partner Carlo Cocozza. Managed by Maria, who has spent time building local government and supplier relationships, the company has quickly built a reputation as St. Catharines market specialists with a laser focus on the downtown core in the multifamily arena. Elite has two main avenues available for real estate investors, one an active focus in off-market opportunities and then secondly a more hands-off passive opportunity.
In this episode learn about:– tips on having a multi-family focus and the benefits of that strategy– how to find good deals and the fundamentals to look for when buying properties– benefits of relationship building with local government and suppliers– the importance of investing in your personal development

Alex Kouramanis is a real estate investor from Toronto, specializing in Wholesale and Flipping strategies throughout Ontario and is easily recognized at investor meetings for wearing his name badge upside down! Double B.A. majors in Cognitive Science & Philosophy and graduating on the Dean’s Honour roll could have meant a very different career path than real estate.
However, after leaving school he invested almost all his savings on a real estate investment program in 2013. With no prior construction experience, Alex borrowed everything to buy his first bungalow in the overheated Toronto market and then worked 7 days a week as a bartender to help cover renovation costs and support himself.
Alex has still been able to use his degrees and knowledge for practical application by putting together three online courses on the Udemy and Skillshare platforms, with over 11,000 students, covering investment, finance, relationships, personal development, psychology and philosophy.
After a handful of successes in real estate, in 2017, Alex quit his job as a bartender so he could take real estate investment on as a full-time career. As of 2019, he has done over a dozen deals in Ontario, using flips and assignments to create investment capital that he can funnel into rental properties to hold for long term wealth. Alex’s greatest achievement to date is his assignment of a prime Toronto property he bought with a $1 deposit and using under 24 hours of his time, for a whopping $130,000 fee.When he stops thinking about real estate Alex loves spending his time with his wife and dog, as well as skateboarding, playing videogames, board games, reading, thinking, writing, travel, watching documentaries, enjoying great beer & food, and just about all other things fun. His ultimate goals are to be a professional bum living off of passive income from multifamily properties, to help other investors succeed and to raise a family and grow old with his wife.

—————
Why we are doing this podcast and an overview
So why are we doing a podcast for The REITE Club?
We are consistently energized and inspired at our monthly REITE Club live events by people who are doing great things in real estate investing. That’s the speakers and many members of the audience.
Sadly not everyone is able to attend every meeting, or you are just too far away to make it to a live event. We wanted to bring that energy and knowledge right to where ever you are, hence the podcast!
We are going to interview people who have shown success in real estate investing and learn what they do to succeed, lessons learned and what they are doing now to keep things moving.
After you launch something, you need to feed it and grow it. There’s no such thing as “if you build it, they will come.”
That is why we’ll dig into the strategies and tactics our guests executed to make their initiatives grow, and the results they achieved. The idea is to learn actionable marketing and growth concepts from our guests, then take those concepts and be able to immediately apply them to grow our real estate investing businesses.
In summary, this podcast is going to be about being inspired by and learning from people who are growing and succeeding.
Podcast format
Now let’s talk a little about the format of this podcast.
Episodes will range from about 30 minutes to an hour. Each conversation is going to be a little bit different based on the guest’s background, but we will to stick to a consistent format so you know exactly what to expect in each episode.
But we won’t apologize if a conversation goes in a certain unexpected direction because we feel you will benefit from the guests insights and experience. First I’ll introduce our guest so you’ll know who they are, what company they work for or business they own, and what their role is.
We’ll talk about their background. We’ll dig into the decisions they made, their inspirations along the way, and how they got to where they are today.
We’ll also talk about the actionable strategies, tactics, and tips that they recommend you should consider if you want to take it further.
This will be a weekly podcast, and we will release an episode every Friday so you can download and take some time over the weekend to listen nad then maybe even take some of the lessons learned into your next week.
