Welcome to another episode of the Truth About Real Estate Investing Show for Canadians!

Have you seen the Squid Game? It’s the Korean survival drama series on Netflix everyone can’t stop talking about it.

Well, I watched two episodes with my little cousin, who dropped by for dinner on Sunday for reverse-seared steaks. 

After finishing the 2nd episode, I decided I’d seen enough and went on to “spoil” the rest of the season by reading the show summaries on Wikipedia.z

I’m a big fan of Wikipedia; hence, I make annual donations to them so they remain independent and free of clickbait, agenda/fake news.

Anyways, I generally avoid TV series to save my time.

I don’t binge-watch most stuff unless it’s a new Marvel or Star Wars series :)… or something on Disney plus, but only for research purposes as I’ve been Stock Hacking Disney.

To reduce my guilt in watching TV, I’ll watch while working out on my Peloton stationary exercise bike or doing one of their routines or stretches. 

Full disclosure: I own shares in Peloton and stock hack them too. 

I think it’s such a great product and service because I can get an efficient 20-30 minute workout from home.

It’s in my nature to be efficient with my time and money and That’s why I’m always searching for best practices in all areas of my life, including in business, investing in real estate, Stock Hacking, etc. 

I imagine you and I have that in common since you’re investing in real estate and stocks… So the question is, how else do you make money in your sleep?

Speaking of investing, Cherry and I bought another property. Unlike our last purchase, this property is a commercial office, as we need more office space. 

The decision to buy came down to our rent expense. It would be similar to what I collect in rent for my duplexes in Hamilton, but the price to buy is quite a bit lower.  

My opinion is we’ve passed the bottom for quality commercial office space here in Oakville, Ontario… And we got a pretty good deal!

Thankfully, my wife Cherry is both our Accountant and working with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), for a very favourable mortgage for us as they’ve been great to work with in the past.

I’m managing the renovations, and that will take at least two months to complete as we’re taking out some walls.  

Fun fun, and like Cherry and I discussed the other day, when will things ever slow down? Unfortunately, we don’t have an answer for that! LOL.

On to this week’s show!

From Truck Driver, Shy Guy To Influencer and Raising Capital on Instagram With Mike Ferreira

We have one of our real estate clients in Mike Ferreira; an admitted introvert and shy guy. 

He’s a full-time truck driver for the Beer Store, but one day something switched… Mike started making educational videos on real estate and posted them on his Instagram.  

Then what do you know, someone approached Mike at a party, asked him for a meeting. He was ready to joint venture with him as a silent investment partner to buy a property together.

Mike shares his journey, the numbers on his first and most recent investment property, working with Coach Tammy “the Duplex Queen” Ditomaso on my iWIN Real Estate Team.  

Also, as this is the Truth About Real Estate Investing Show, Mike shares about the basement from Hell… how appropriate for Hallowe’en 🎃.

From one shy guy to another, I’m super proud of Mike, and I hope you enjoy the show!

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.

Hello friends, and welcome to another episode of Truth About Real Estate Investing Show for Canadians.

We are a show all about truth-seeking from leading investors who have demonstrated repeatable, systematic success.

To get the most from this show, one has to have an open mind and be interested in continuous learning.

For me, I’m currently reading Annie Duke’s “Thinking in Bets: Marking Smarter Decisions When You Don’t Have All The Facts”. Annie is a Poker champion with a Ph.D. in Psychology, and I’m really enjoying the book. 

As an analytical thinker who despises risk and an admitted sufferer of analysis paralysis, I enjoy learning more about how humans think and make decisions.

For example, we’re all real estate investors here…

Most of the stars have aligned to make investing in real estate make a ton of sense for investment and, at a minimum, a hedge against inflation and housing affordability for our kids.  

But talk and share as much about real estate as we do, the vast majority of the people we know do not invest as we do.

There are a million reasons not to invest; we all know them and a million more reasons to invest. At the end of the day, it’s one’s values and worldview that drive decisions, not just facts, figures, charts and data.

I know many people who say they won’t invest because of tenant risk, as in property damage and tenant-friendly laws and tribunal.

To the professional real estate investor, we screen diligently, provide a great product, and have the Landlord Credit Bureau to hold tenants accountable to their credit report for both good and bad.

Another common reason not to invest is to avoid debt. 

What’s odd, though, is when I ask how their kids will pay for post-secondary education or professional school like doctor, dentist, lawyer etc., their expectation is for their child to take out loans… 

This brings us to this week’s guest, 26 year old Joe Costanza.

From $80 Thousand to $1 Million Net Worth with 26 Year Old Joe Costanza

When we first met Joe, he was 24 years old and had saved $80,000 from holding down multiple jobs at the same time since he was 16. 

A month later, Joe had his first investment property. 

Recently, Joe was complaining to me about how expensive properties are these days. 

I then asked him to review for me what his net worth is today vs. what it was when we first met… From $80,000 to over $1,000,000 in just two years.

The results are astounding. If you don’t believe me, ask an entrepreneur with a start-up business. Or ask around 30 somethings if their net worth is over $1,000,000.

Add to that, parents who, while supportive in giving young Joseph food and a roof over his head but were not fans of Joe investing in real estate, having tenants and taking on debt.

This is Architect Joe’s story on how he went from $80,000 to $1,000,000.

Please enjoy the show!

Nothing is held back. Everything from analyzing basement suite conversion deals, to renting out your first property at a profit, and even how to refinance and do it all again!

Profiting in a HOT market…

Municipal bylaws to watch out for…

Mortgage terms that favour refinancing…

AND one barely used tactic for higher appraisals…

Who knew Canada was so awesome!?

I heard it many times over this past weekend, and no, we’re not perfect. No one, no where, no investment is perfect. 

Even my daughter’s property that I bought in 2014 for $245,000 plus 150k in renovations and worth $875,000 today, is not perfect. Our upstairs tenant is inconsistent in paying us rent on time; It’s not the end of the world.

Few weekends ago, Cherry and I were up north for a getaway for the entrepreneurs networking group we belong to, and there were over 100 of us. 

We stayed at a Marriott in Muskoka, and the views were spectacular!

While networking with fellow entrepreneurs and enjoying the views and lovely food with too much drink, others regularly shared how much they love Canada and Muskoka.  Folks who travel extensively for business and have seen the world, some even come from poverty, including 2nd and third world countries.

If you haven’t had a chance to network with successful people and have more in-depth conversations, I can’t recommend it enough.  

Our conversations varied from travel to where folks are hiding out for the winter months to raising successful kids.  I even talked myself into a tee time at the prestigious Hamilton Golf and Country Club next month.

Real estate came up in conversation many times as I shared what I do.

Everyone likes talking about real estate. Some have a small handful of properties; most do not invest in real estate beyond their own home.  

Some are hardcore: builders, developers, and one gentleman has a metals recycling business, including owning the property.

What stuck out to me was the younger entrepreneurs in the ’30s and ’40s who do not own their homes and are sharing their struggles in buying property within their budget while facing significant competition from other buyers who bid up prices well above asking and sometimes what they thought was market value.

Compare that to you, the listener of this show, who has taken action over the last five, ten, even two years before the pandemic. 

If you did things right, buying a house likely isn’t a problem for you and when you get a chance, remind your spouse and kids how lucky they are to have you 😉

If you’re on the sidelines, I hope you don’t plan on staying there for very long. 

Sophisticated investors I know, including our clients, are still acquiring investment real estate.  If you have a better answer for all the inflation and money printing going on by governments worldwide, I am all ears.

I have many clients worth more than 7 figure small business owners, except my clients did so as a side hustle.

If you’d like to learn more about how our clients and myself invest, I encourage you to go to www.investortraining.ca and register for one of our events: iWIN Real Estate free training, Street Smart Tours, or networking events. 

Some of our events have a nominal charge, and the proceeds go to charity anyway. So you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Lessons from 500+ Rent To Owns With Rachel Oliver

On to this week’s show!

Today, we have my old friend Rachel Oliver who has achieved massive success via an investment strategy called Rent-to-own, having executed 500+ deals on said strategy.

As always with this show, we look to bring you the leading subject matter experts, and without a doubt, we have one today in Rachel Oliver of Clover Properties.

On this show, Rachel pulls back the curtain on how she runs such a successful business in real estate, how she generates leads for tenant buyers, including 800 applicants in a month, chooses markets to invest in, and how she’s able to help 90% of her tenants buy the house at the end of the term. 

I think Rachel and her husband Neil are great in how they run a win-win-win business – A win for themselves, their investor and most importantly, the tenant. 

Rachel also shares how she became an author, co-host of a television show, and about her extended vacation in Costa Rica.

I hope you enjoy the show!

Welcome to another episode of the Truth About Real Estate Investing…

Where us lifelong learners and seekers of truth like to hang out and share about what truly works when investing and not just in real estate. 

I’m interested in all forms of predictable, repeatable investing. For example, I know many investor agents in my market promote non-conforming multi-family properties, as in, their legal use is not permitted nor grandfathered in.

I know many of these investors who got left holding the bag as city inspectors and Fire inspectors knocked on their doors and asked them to evict some tenants, hurting cashflow or redevelop the property to make the property safe.

I personally don’t want the liability should a tenant get hurt in a fire and prefer to sleep well at night, so my properties were all renovated with permits where necessary.

As I record this, we are into the first week of back to school. 

My kids are back to school as risks are low for young kids; I’m satisfied with the safety protocols by our schools. In addition, Cherry and I are fully vaccinated, so we’re as safe as it gets from being hospitalized. 

For any concerned parents like myself, news out of Denmark is that they started school last month, their R value fell to 0.7, which means the rate at which people are being infected by covid is falling, which is great news. 

Stats-wise, the Danes are 80% vaccinated; we in Ontario are 77% for those eligible. 

Denmark is dropping all covid restrictions on September 10th and fingers crossed the situation continues to improve there as then we can predict the same here in Canada. 

This news gives me peace of mind that my kids are safe and we won’t see increased restrictions.

Source: https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/1435238002545119234?s=20

Ireland has a similar story, adults there are 90% fully vaccinated, and their restrictions end next month.

My prediction is our restrictions will end sometime this fall, and Cherry and I can go back to hosting as many people as we want in person at our iWIN Real Estate and Stock Hacker meetups. 

That way, we can support our community as best we can which I believe is in meeting and networking in person.

In the meantime, we’re currently allowed 25 people in person at our offices, so that’s what we’ll make do with for our monthly iWIN Real Estate meetings that will also be available, live-streamed via Zoom. 

For our October meeting, you’re stuck with me doing the keynote talk re: the cash flow quadrants by explaining the theory and then what Cherry and I have found to be the best practices of progressing from employees and self-employed to becoming business owners or investors.

If you’re on my email list, you’re already getting emails with all the dates and links to register. If you can, please choose the in-person option; we really do like networking with people in person.

If you’re not on our email list, that’s just silly. Join the tens of thousands of Canadians receiving our free newsletters at www.investortraining.ca.

From there, you can even get access to my presentation from the last Wealth Hacker Conference in front of 1,500+ for FREE. Again that’s www.investortraining.ca.

Before I forget, we just returned from a cottage we rented for a week, and I left my laptop at home. 

I had just my smartphone and still managed to Stock Hack my way to over $3,000 US in realized profits, more than enough to pay for the cottage rental costs. 😊

Past, of course, does not predict the future but if you’d like to learn more about this game-changing skill, check out my final demonstration I’ll be giving on September 23rd.

It is my final free demonstration before we deliver our Stock Hacker Academy course on Oct. 1st with best-selling authors Lee Lowell and Derek Foster. 

Hope to see you there!

Fighting for Landlord and Tenant Rights, Property Management Updates with Kayla Andrade

On to this week’s show!

This week we have the lovely Kayla Andrade; hopefully, by now, all you real estate investors know who Kayla is.

She’s been running a not-for-profit, grassroots organization called Ontario Landlord Watch to bring us landlords together to support one another, mobilize politically, inform the powers that be the challenges we small, private investors, face in creating more housing supply and better help good tenants.  

Kayla shares why her family emigrated from Newfoundland to Ontario, policy changes we landlords need to watch out for and how to escalate our problems at the Landlord Tenant Bureau.

Plus, we chat about the Landlord Credit Bureau, a service that helps tenants build their credit and hold them accountable to paying rent on time. 

If you’ve never heard of them, please check them out; these guys are a game changer!

We’ve signed up, and I wish I knew about this service years ago so we could hold those tenants who roughed up our properties accountable.

Please enjoy the show!!

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 a couple of times as James and Tammy have.

Yay, it’s election time!

When we get back to normal, my prediction is that once CERB ends shortly after the election, more folks will have to return to work and students over the age of 12 will return to school/university. 

Whatever folks are returning to will require almost everyone to be vaccinated against covid. 

Important side note: Pfizer received full approval from the FDA in the US, so all this talk about experimental drugs should subside.

Once we hit super high vaccination rates, hospitalizations should fall dramatically since the vaccinated make up a tiny percentage of the most important metric in the pandemic (hospitalizations, ICU). 

Then restrictions will drop, and masking will be a matter of personal preference. This is just my prediction and NOT a political statement.

Back to the election, I’ve read over each party’s platform on real estate. 

The Conservatives’ plan is better than the NDP and Liberals.  However, the big miss is that municipalities, the regions, towns and cities, control zoning and bylaws. This means they control what the developers can build.

If massive change is to happen, we need more housing supply, preferably from the private sector since our government runs big enough deficits.

I’ve travelled a lot in Asia and what do their cities all have in common?

Any major hub for people, be it transit or a shopping mall, are often combined and have a condo built on top of it and are surrounded by high-rise condos.

It’s great for walkability to be within a 15-minute walk and elevator down to shop and eat.  It’s incredible; I’ve experienced this first hand staying with Cherry’s parents in Hong Kong.

But what do I know? I’m not a politician.

Anyways, more has to be done to impose federal and provincial values of increasing housing supply at the municipal level. 

This, of course, would be unpopular for voters because who do you think voted the anti-development municipal leaders into office?

It is what it is, and Cherry and I will continue to control what we can control, teaching you all about the best practices for building wealth.

Do you know what I tell people who I haven’t spoken to for a while when they ask me, “how have you been?”

My answer is like any real estate investor or stock market investor; we have nothing to complain about.  

The real estate market is up over 30% from this time last year. My stock hacking allowed me to cash flow almost $2,000 this week while I was on vacation and exhausted from having golf four times in five days.

Life is good, and I hope the same is true for you too. 

If it isn’t, then I can’t recommend enough that you become a real estate investor and or a stock hacker. The former for building wealth, the latter for cash flow.

We offer free training for both: investortraining.ca and stockhackeracademy.ca.  

As folks get vaccinated and restrictions reduced, we’ll host more and more meetings in person.

Speaking of in-person, we are back to in-person iWIN meetings Saturday morning, September 11th. 

My team and I will share the latest real estate market prices as seen on the streets, rents, and best practices when selling an investment property.  

We had numerous clients sell recently to take massive profits, and we have stories to share.

The highly in-demand Cherry Chan of Real Estate Tax Tips will also be on hand to share best practices for bookkeeping, some vital to operating any business, including real estate.

If you’re receiving our emails, then you’ll be receiving the invites to register. We hope to see you in the real world soon!

From Homeless and 150lbs overweight to the #1 Business Coach & Iron Man Triathlete Mary-Anne Gillespie

On to this week’s guest, my very own coach for the last seven years, Mary-Anne Gillespie. 

She’s a business coach, a Realtor, a real estate investor, a cancer survivor, orphaned and homeless at the age of 16, and more recently and insanely, an Iron Man Triathlete. 

An Iron Man Triathlon is a mere 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile bike ride, and a marathon run of 26 miles. 

She trained and completed her first race in the middle of a pandemic at altitude in the US without her team, spouse, or anyone.

I hope you enjoy the show!

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 a couple of times as James and Tammy have.

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
