I hope everyone is well!

Most investors I’ve spoken to had wonderful summers, but I’m noticing some mental health issues or stress related to the election and covid vaccines.

I’m well-read on both subjects but will not engage anyone besides close personal friends and family in information sharing. 

I will hear other peoples’ opinions, including what my anti-vaxxer friends share on social media.  I read the articles they share and fact check, often they fail fact-checking, but I keep that to myself as I’m not arguing with anyone. 

For anyone who’s read ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ by Dale Carnegie, you know that there are no winners to an argument.

“Back to in-person school” is in full swing at our home.

Since we’ve moved houses and switched our kids’ schools, I’ve taken the opportunity to walk the kids to school each morning.  

We take the path behind our house that wraps around a pond and take the bridge to cross the pond each morning. 

Every day we look forward to seeing what wildlife we can see from the bridge. 

We’ve seen ducks, Canadian Geese and almost every day since back to school, there’s been a blue heron, which is a massive bird fishing for breakfast or an afternoon snack. 

I think the blue heron followed me to the golf course later in the afternoon as I saw one there as well.

After school, my kids have kickboxing class four days a week, and good/bad news, our gym’s renovation of a 2nd workout room was just completed. 

They host adult classes simultaneously as the kids’ classes so parents can workout instead of being spectators.

My first thought was, “oh no, I feel tired all of a sudden,” then, as the news sunk in, I recalled how bored and fidgety I get when sitting around the kids’ practice, so I signed up for Monday’s class and had a blast. 

We hit the heavy bag with various punches, from taps to going hard with burpees sprinkled in.  In the 2nd half of the workout, we circuit trained, which left me a sweaty mess.

The class was taught by the gym owner, Coach Maz as we call him, who has a professional Kickboxing record of 38-6-2. After class, he asked to get a picture with my kids for their marketing. 

It was only then I realized I was the only parent who took the club up on the offer of a free trial.  The rest of my classmates were there just to train; they didn’t have kids in the kids’ class.

After class, my kids were asking me about what I learnt, specifically what combos I learnt. I told them it was the first class, so I did a jab, cross, hook, and uppercut combination.  

My kids informed me that was not a real combo as all their combos include kicks. SMH. 

This is an example of a business management strategy of leading from the front.

I’m taking a class in something entirely new to me; I’m demonstrating I’m not asking them to learn something I’m not willing to do myself. It’s not easy, but I do it anyway. 

From 3 Heart Attacks, Losing A Million Dollars to Accumulating 380 Doors with Award-Winning Mentor Tim Tsai

On to this week’s show!

Tim Tsai is a full-time real estate professional investor, and for Tim, that means only working 20 hours a week. 

After achieving financial freedom in his late 20’s after 25 months of hustle, he took on a contract to teach what he’s learnt for almost seven years.

Tim and I have a pretty open conversation on today’s show.  

He shares how he’s had several heart attacks before the age of 30, lost $1,000,000 on a real estate joint venture and how he’s bounced back to currently hold around 380 doors.

It’s a great show, and I hope you enjoy it!

We’re hiring!

Just a friendly reminder that we are hiring more investment Realtors who want a full-time challenge to help our clients, regular everyday people, mostly from the GTA, invest in the top investment towns west of the GTA. 

This is for driven folks who want to multiply their current incomes.

I hope you’re all enjoying your summer vacations!

I’m back for two days to produce these podcasts for you, our wonderful listeners and watchers on YouTube.

Our kids had their first overnight camp experience in Muskoka, where the real estate market is booming.  Thank goodness they had a great time and have asked to do a whole week of overnight camp next summer.

This is the first time we’ve not had contact with our kids for a whopping three nights!! Which felt like an eternity for us.

I was able to take some comfort in knowing we’ve done what we can to prepare them.  

Pre-Pandemic, our kids were in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and during the pandemic, our kids started taking kickboxing 3-4 times per week. Learning self-defence in the martial arts world is the proactive first aid to get ahead of being hurt by a bully.

Earlier this summer, the kids also had extensive swimming lessons three days per week for a month.

When we dropped our kids off, they didn’t even look back as they walked off with ‘strangers’, the camp counsellors. Then, when we picked up the kids, my son shared how he forgot about us. LOL.

The camp is about three hours from home, so we stayed at a friend’s cottage less than 30 mins from camp should we have to make an emergency pick up.

While in cottage country, we learnt about the local market, Huntsville, 2.5 hours north of Toronto. 

Our friends are renting out their three-bedroom with two full baths, renovated apartment. They are asking $3,000 inclusive, and getting tons of inquiries.  Note this is a house on a big lot backing onto a forest, not a lake.

The house across the street, three bedrooms, one bathroom, no basement has a sold sign on its lawn… It sold for just over $700,000 in about one week above asking.  

Those who invested in cottage towns did well during the pandemic. Nonetheless,  there will be a bit of a pullback in these markets, but nothing crazy in the short term.

Starting A Six Figure Online Business, Replacing Job Income & Investing in 11 Doors in Belleville, ON with Jessie and George

On to this week’s show!

George and Jessie were on their way through town for a wedding, so they stopped by for a podcast :).

I know George’s story… He’s a pharmacist, lives and invests in big cash flow properties in Belleville, Ontario, two hours east of Toronto.

Jessie, who I’m meeting for the first time, shares that she started an online business selling jewelry on Etsy during the pandemic. She generated six figures in revenue in one year!

This year she’s looking to 10X after being inspired by Grant Cardone, our keynote speaker from the Wealth Hacker Conference.  

FYI, Wealth Hacker Conference II will be in the Fall of 2022.  

Like all sequels, we’ve had many learning lessons and grown so much during this pandemic, so Wealth Hacker Conference II will be considerably better. 

You’ll be informed when early bird tickets are available for the best seats and best prices if you’re on my email list. If you’re not on our email list, you can join the tens of thousands of Canadians who already are. 

Sign up at investortraining.ca if you’re interested in real estate and stockhackeracademy.ca if you’re interested in Stock Hacking.

Back to Jessie and George, who both achieved middle-class status… 

Soon after graduating from university, Jessie worked as a librarian and George, a Pharmacist. They bought and lived in a big detached house with a big yard with plans to start a family. But that wasn’t enough for them, so they started buying houses.

Jessie hated her dead-end career that came with a government pension and gave it up for the life of a new entrepreneur.

George shares that they started investing in student rentals and have since pivoted to legal duplexes.  

This is their story.

Please enjoy the show!

Do your friends invest?

Most of the friends I spend time with these days are serious investors.  Many of them are my clients of Stock Hacker Academy and iWIN Real Estate.

I also meet once a month with some super elite real estate investors like Susan White, Rachel Oliver, Aaron Moore, Ryan Carr, etc. This past week, we had a more social meeting than our regular formal business updates and reviews meetings.

After lunch, we had some jet skis booked. Unfortunately, two jet skis were damaged and unavailable, so we were short jet skis for the group. Then, the operator let me rent her personal jet ski. From there, we cruised the shoreline of Lake Simcoe from Friday Harbour to almost Barrie.

The rental jet skis topped out at 60 km/hr.  The owner’s jet ski went over 80km/hr, which is fun and scary at the same time :). Cruising at 40 km/hr is plenty of fun with the sun and wind in our faces while observing the beautiful mansions that back onto the lake.

We got caught up on the important stuff: family, health and business (funny enough, not one mention of Leafs or Blue Jays, lol).

I lobbied a certain wholesaler in the group to send me deals in Hamilton if they come available :). I lobbied another to allow me to invest in their project.

Our mastermind group has been together for seven years. I was invited to join four years ago, and there is no cost to join the group. 

For those who’ve been around masterminds, it’s almost unheard of for groups to stay together this long. I’m grateful for the group, the friendship and the investment opportunities.

Also super awesome was we did a group guided meditation sitting by the water. My friend Rachel used a phone app for guided meditation, and we sat in silence for around 15 mins.

One of the questions asked was about what your gifts are. I had some ideas to jot down, so I opened my eyes, grabbed my phone to make notes of who to call. 

Yes, I broke the meditation, but after putting my phone down, an eagle flew by right in front of us, only 30 meters away.  Maybe it’s a sign I’m on the right path to start a fund, but we’ll see.

Unfortunately, my friends who meditated properly missed out on seeing the eagle.

Quitting Corporate, Pension, and 4 Properties at 24 Years Old With YouTuber Griffin Milks

This week we have YouTuber, real estate and stock investor Griffin Milks on the show.

At 24 years old, anyone would have said he was set for life with a government job that came with a pension. His whole family works for the government, but he quit to focus on real estate and creating videos.  

For me, it’s quite refreshing to meet such a young go-getter.

On this show, Griffin shares his numbers on small multis in Gatineau, books he recommends, favourite stocks, and advice to beginners.

Hello, my fellow Wealth Hackers!

I trust everyone is having a great summer.

I know I am as Cherry, and I golfed nine holes with Rent-to-own investors Rachel and Neil Oliver of Clover Properties this past weekend. They’ve done hundreds of rent-to-owns as their preferred investment strategy. 

These properties typically need less Renos, and tenants take better care of the properties as they treat them like their homes.  

The downside, however, is one’s returns are capped, but the returns are still great.

We played scramble style, which means we all hit a ball then after each stroke, we as a group choose which ball is in the best location, then we all hit from there. 

For example, on hole #2, three of us lost our ball of the tee, and Cherry put hers on the green. For our 2nd shot, we all putted from Cherry’s ball. 

Playing scramble is easier as it’s less overall strokes, the game takes less time, and it’s much more fun for beginners and non-golfers as there is less pressure for each golfer to perform.

We had a blast catching up on real estate, business, family, vacation/retirement plans.  I personally always feel energized hanging out with positive, growth, like-minded people.

 We, of course, shared our mutual challenges as landlords and business owners. 

No, it’s not always easy, but we wouldn’t change anything as success never comes easy…. It’s just less hard to be a successful real estate investor in my and our client’s experience.  

One prevalent challenge for everyone is determining the value of a property in this rising market and not overpay. 

Here’s my truth about real estate investing…

At the time of each property’s acquisition, and I’ve had ownership of around 40 properties, I felt I overpaid for the property to win in the immediate term, but I am investing for the long-term based on long-term economic fundamentals.  

Even when I paid $240,000 for my daughter’s bungalow with a blank offer in 2014, I had to beat out 3-4 other offers by paying the most money. 

We’ve invested around $150,000 to renovate that house, and we’ve since refinanced the house to take a bunch of capital out. In today’s market, that house is worth over $800,000. 

I know the market prices because Cherry and I had to pay the market price to purchase our duplexes last month. 

We closed on one last Friday; the other we’ll close next month.  

In hindsight, the plan has worked out, and based on the world’s central banks continuing to create more money out of thin air. So, sadly hard assets like housing will continue to get more expensive.

Anyways,  I’ve shared a post from Gus Papaioannou on my website, www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca, on how to prepare an excellent comparative market analysis (CMA) to determine a property’s value.

Here’s the link to the thread: https://twitter.com/smarter_re/status/1424848977510469638?s=21

Why Wealth Hacking for the Golden Years is Imperative And How She Does It With Journalist/Teacher Karen Cumming

Speaking of real estate, we have one of our real estate clients on the show today to share expertise and experience as always to grow our mastermind.

If you don’t know what a mastermind is, it’s a group of like-minded people who share and support one another. 

Today’s guest recently wrote a book titled “The Indispensable Survival Guide to Ontario’s Long-Term Care System.”

The question is, what are your plans for when you’re beyond the age of 65?  If you’re listening to this show, then you’re an investor and planning for the future. Many clients of ours invest in real estate to retire their spouse and pay for their kids’ university. 

However, something some haven’t considered is long-term care for ageing parents or themselves. I don’t want anyone blindsided by this inevitable expense; hence we invited Karen Cumming back on the show.

Karen is a professional journalist. She’s even travelled to and covered the Olympics and is a teacher.  

By nature, she’s a researcher and seeker of truths and loves to share, so she’s here to share her challenges in placing her mother into a long-term care facility, the range of costs and services, and of course, how she invests in real estate and stock hacks.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Greetings, my fellow Wealth Hackers!

For those who don’t know me, I’m husband and father to two young crazy kids. My wife is Cherry Chan, CPA. CA., and she owns her own Accounting practice called Real Estate Tax Tips.

Cherry’s birthday is coming up, so if you see her, please wish her a happy birthday! 

With restrictions ending thanks to the vaccine working, Cherry will be able to enjoy her birthday pre-pandemic style, but I can’t share details because it’s a surprise 🙂

Here’s a philosophical question… How do you define success? 

Brendon Burchard, a world-class coach, shared one of his definitions with me: when one can return the favour to those who helped them along the way.

One person who has meant a lot in my journey is my mom.

My mom lost her mom when she was barely a teenager and had to grow up fast and become the woman of the family to her father and three brothers.

Mom moved to Canada as a teenager, leaving the comforts of home in a tropical climate to a foreign country that speaks a different language for better opportunities. 

Mom operated an Airbnb out of her own home before there was Airbnb, cooking up breakfasts for guests and keeping the house.  She also worked in the kitchen of a local hotel.

Our first home was financed with not one, not two, but THREE mortgages in a not-so-great neighbourhood of Scarborough, ON.

Needless to say, my mom stepped out of her comfort zone for a better future for my brother and me, and it’s payback time! 

Mom’s condo needs renovating, a cosmetic one, but she’s repainting, replacing interior and front doors, windows, an air conditioner, etc.… 

Cherry and I have the funds in the bank, and Cherry wired mom the funds on Monday.

I’m not here to brag here as I have no interest in impressing anyone.

I’m actually a private person, but more important than my want for privacy is to share my experiences and impress upon our listeners, our community what’s possible when one delays gratification, invests in oneself, real estate, stock hacking, and whole life insurance what is possible.

Without people sharing what is possible and actually works, how would any of us ever get started?

One truth about real estate?

Second generation investors and entrepreneurs have a high success rate. I see it all the time among our clients and guests to this show. 

How about future generations? They definitely have more opportunities than the everyday Canadian.

One just has to make the choice to get started or not.

That brings us to my cousin Wilfrid “Chubby” Lee, our guest on the show today.

Over Thanksgiving dinner in 2019, I went on a red wine induced rant that cousin Chubby was leaving hundreds of dollars on the table and as cheap people, leaving money on the table is just as bad as losing money. 

How Cousin “Chubby” Made $57,000 in 18 Months w/ Wilfrid Lee

Here is my cousin’s story…

Chubby is a professional musician, and like many, he doesn’t make a ton of money. 

He’s got no pension, but he has supportive parents, invested in real estate, and knows how to research and grind.

His story is no different than many millennials…

He doesn’t have huge savings for down payments for real estate, but he’s managed to cash flow $57,000 in 18 months with a less than six-figure investment.  How many investors can say that?  Past, of course, does not predict the future.

So, if you or someone you care about is interested in an extended version of the demonstration I gave my cousin Chubby sans red wine induced rant, then head over to https://www.stockhackeracademy.ca/freedemo-w to register for our next demonstration. 

Cherry is actually delivering the next demo, but I’ll be there to support plus, we will have some seats available in the office if you’re cool 😉

Please enjoy the show!

UPCOMING EVENTS

BEFORE YOU GO…

If you’re interested in being a successful real estate investor like those who have been featured on this podcast and our hundreds of successful clients please let us know.

It is our honour to give back and educate others on how we build cash flowing real estate portfolios using all the best practices shared on this podcast, from the lessons of our hundreds of clients and of course our own experience in owning investment real estate.

If you didn’t know already, we pride ourselves on being the best of the best real estate coaches, having the best property managers, contractors, handy people, cleaners, lawyers, accountants, everyone you need on your power team and we’re happy to share them with our clients to ensure your success. 

New investor or seasoned veteran investor, we can help anyone by providing our award winning coaching services and this isn’t all talk.

We have been awarded Realtor of the Year to Investors in 2015 by the Real Estate Investment Network, 2016 by the Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine and again in 2017 because no one told the judges no one is supposed to win the award twice but on merit, our peers deemed us as the best.  In 2018, we again won the same award by the Real Estate Investment Network.

Hopefully being the most decorated team of Realtors in Ontario will make you consider us for your first or next real estate investment.  Even if you don’t invest in our areas, there’s a good chance I know who would be ideal for you. 

I’ve been around for a while, some Realtors are talented at servicing investors there are many with great ethics.  The intersection of the two, talent and ethics is limited to a handful in each city or town.

Only work with the best is what my father always taught me.  If you’re interested, drop us an email at iwin@infinitywealth.ca.

I hope to meet you at one of our meetups soon.

Again that’s iwin@infinitywealth.ca
