Building a Brand of Influence, Alberta Market Update with Best Selling Author Russell Westcott

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!

I trust you’re keeping well and if you’re not and you’re able, that’s ok too.

I worked on myself since I was a frustrated new graduate immediately after the dot com bubble burst and the events of 9-11.

We’ve all been down and underpaid when compared to our abilities. It wasn’t until I read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad that lit a fire under my butt. If you feel you’re being underpaid, then do something about it.

Hence I got into real estate investing, full send, joining a real estate networking group and never missing a meeting. I’m still friends with many of the folks I met there and those same relationships have been integral to my journey here… A podcast with 12 listeners!!

Speaking of meetups, we will be hosting our next iWIN Real Estate virtual meeting on Saturday morning of March 27th.

Our keynote speaker is the leading expert in backyard apartments, Andy Tran of Suite Additions. A backyard apartment is something I made up to describe an addition to a house or a standalone tiny home built behind an existing house. 

For many of you, that will be the third and final apartment and major value add, highest and best use of a property. This is our final frontier for significant additional cash flow.

Andy has been researching this subject from all angles including zoning, construction, and financing so you don’t want to miss this. 

If you’re receiving my emails, you’ll be notified once event registration is available. If you are not on my email list, go to www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca

As I’m typing and recording this, the Gamestop stock is going up again. For fun, I bought 5 shares and will donate the profits and the investment to charity. I was thinking about donating the money to my own charity, I’m not sure if that’s considered kosher or not…

I actually have a lot of my Stock Hacking funds in bitcoin-related stocks and options and making good money. Hopefully, my theory is right about bitcoin becoming the digital version of gold for savings and a hedge against all the money printing going on by our governments.

Whether you agree if Bitcoin is a hard asset or not doesn’t matter as long as you’re taking action and buying quality hard assets like real estate.

My opinions are my own and this is not advice but to quote one of the smartest people on the planet in Elon Musk, “In hindsight, this was inevitable.”

That’s what Elon tweeted days before it became public record his company Tesla investing 1.5 billion dollars into bitcoin or 8% of their cash reserves. What gets missed in the story is Tesla bought some gold ETFs too.

One thing is for certain… Smart money does not want to hold cash for the long term when our governments are creating new money out of thin air each day.

Building a Brand of Influence, Alberta Market Update with Best Selling Author Russell Westcott

Speaking of my favourite hedge against inflation, real estate, I don’t know many people who own more real estate than today’s guest in Russell Westcott.

He’s been through a lot of economic cycles being an Edmonton, Alberta real estate investor.  Russell is an old and good friend of mine so it’s always great to catch up on what he’s up to helping people out. 

He’s possibly the top real estate investor coach out there and it helps that he’s owned over 100 properties and co-authored the best selling book “Joint Venture Secrets.”

Admittedly, I don’t invest in Alberta and my outlook is bearish on the oil industry.  With the growing popularity of electric vehicles and carbon taxes, I don’t see the demand for oil keeping up, not with Ford and GM planning to be all-electric by 2035…

But I’m not an expert and I’m always keen on listening to opinions different from mine.

I give you Russell Westcott.

The Nice Wholesaler Who Did 26 Deals Plus 10 Flips in 2020 with Aaron Moore

Kung Hei Fat Choy my fellow Wealth Hackers, happy new year and I wish you all wealth and prosperity.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)


Does Money buy happiness?

Well, I wish you wealth because having money in my experience can buy happiness. 

Here’s a quick story…

One of my friends has three kids and one is disabled.  They don’t have a lot of money and one day she posted to Facebook how she was fundraising for Easter Seals and for those who hit a target fundraising goal get invited to skate with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

So I clicked on the link and made an anonymous donation for the difference between what she had raised to the goal. 

A few weeks later my friend posted pictures of the Easter Seals Skate with the Leafs event with her kids and Michael Nylander, Darryl Sittler, Morgan Rielly, etc… 

To me, life is about experiences and it makes me happy to play a part in others having a chance at once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

In the absence of money, no Easter Seals skate…. Now my friend’s husband is a Montreal Canadians fan and he’s not in any of the pictures LOL

Anyways, if you’re a good person then forget about whatever self-limiting beliefs you have about yourself and be successful.  Forget what negative people tell you and learn from those who are successful. 

The truth about real estate is everyone has self-limiting beliefs. 

I’ve met many novice investors and worked with them through their careers to see them become dynamos owning 10 or more properties.  Everyone starts somewhere.

Speaking of being a successful investor, even if it’s just a side hustle, my research still points to real estate investing as the best asset class to generate wealth.  The ability to cash flow and refinance to purchase more properties makes real estate the best investment for building wealth.  

My team the iWIN Real Estate team teaches the #1 investment strategy in real estate: legal basement apartments.  To register for the next free event, go to www.investortraining.ca, enter your name and email and you’ll receive email updates about our upcoming events. 

Cash flow however is not what it used to be. 

Rents have not kept up with real estate prices hence I see folks travelling great distances in seek of cash flow when in my experience, my mentee Joel Arndt with no prior experience and only $10,000 to invest manages to cash flow $400 per month with his phone.

If you’d like a free demonstration of how Joel did it plus an overview of the Stock Hacker Academy, simply register for our next demo at www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo

I only have one more planned before we deliver the March program so don’t delay. If Joel, a millennial with limited capital and no experience can cash flow $400 per month in a few hours each month you need to check this out.

Speaking of Stock Hacker Academy, we including Cherry and I are proud to announce…

We are giving away two tickets to this March 5th Stock Hacker Academy for anyone who’s been down on their luck, especially my fellow landlords who are having a tough time either with tenants, vandalism, nonpayment of rent, delays at the Landlord Tenant Board. 

All you have to do is go to https://www.stockhackeracademy.ca/story leave your name, email and tell us what happened.  We will announce the winners by the next episode so don’t delay. You only have a few days from listening to this.

FYI – I’ve already given away the program to two in-need Wealth Hackers. 

One is an everyday hero, a firefighter, father of four and husband who almost died while responding to a warehouse fire that exploded and caved in nearly killing him. 

Two, a commercial airline pilot, father of two and real estate investor who’s been laid off and his collective tenants are not paying him rent and the LTB is doing nothing about it.

I’m keeping tabs on them to make sure they follow through. 

Free is nice however what’s free often is not valued. In my experience, I fall asleep all the time watching Netflix on my brother’s account but I’ve never fallen asleep while watching a movie I paid for.

NEVER.

The Nice Wholesaler Who Did 26 Deals Plus 10 Flips in 2020 with Aaron Moore

I’ve been friends with Aaron Moore for quite some time.

What most people don’t know is he’s very successful and an even nicer guy.This is because he doesn’t have a huge social media presence… he’s quietly doing deals and crushing it!

In 2020 alone, Aaron did 36 deals including 10 flips.

In this episode, Aaron is kind enough to share some tips for those new to wholesaling and his path to build out his team. I know I took a ton of notes and I hope you do too.

I give you Aaron Moore.

Investing In Apartment Buildings Across Canada with Michael Ponte

Hello, my fellow Wealth Hackers!

How is everyone doing?

Back at home we finally replaced the batteries in our weight scale. I’m about 15 pounds heavier than the last time I checked.  At just under 200lbs, this is the heaviest I’ve ever been lol… which is ok.

I am in week 4 of 8 in a muscle building challenge and I’ve kept up with the workouts, not so much the recovery and stretching nor sleep.  I haven’t even kept up with the 2500 calories per day I’m supposed to eat so this has been an interesting journey for sure.

I believe life is all about experiences and I’m enjoying this process.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

Our new house that we move into in March has a pool so the goal is to be pool body ready by the summer. 

On a fun note, we just had our best month of stock hacking yet so we are reinvesting the money into getting a Peloton Bike: an indoor bike with a built-in tablet that streams live and on-demand classes.  My output is tracked and shared which is cool.

If you’re a fellow wealth hacker with a Peleton hit me up, it would be cool to ride together.

Speaking of Stock Hacking, the Stock Hacker Academy is proud to announce that 20% of our trading profits will be donated to the registered charity the Hamilton Basket Brigade.

How this works is the Stock Hacker Academy is a business and the profits will be added to the corporate trading account, then 20% of trading profits will be donated. 

In January alone, the donation will be about $6,400 US dollars

As we grow Stock Hacker Academy to help more and more every day, hard working Canadians create a six-figure side hustle, we will donate and support the most disadvantaged children in Hamilton.

Just last week, the Hamilton Basket Brigade, the charity I co-founded and preside over, last week we outfitted 176 boys and girls with each receiving a winter coat, hoody, winter boots, hat, and mitts. We sourced all the products from a wholesaler as well so we saved around 60 cents on the dollar.

I trust your investments are going well. 

In my day job as a real estate professional, I get to connect with real estate investors from all over Canada and a couple in the US too.  It’s fascinating to a real estate geek like myself how different all the markets are across Canada. I’m looking at an interactive map on wowa.ca (https://wowa.ca/reports/canada-housing-market) on real estate price change by province.

Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and BC led the way in price appreciation. Saskatchewan and Alberta had the slowest price growth but they did grow in the single digits.

This gives me the idea that I need to reach out to friends in Nova Scotia and Quebec to find out what’s going on in those markets.

Just to take a step back, some like to overcomplicate real estate investing when put simply, real estate is like any other business in that things start with supply and demand. The supply of land in desirable areas is limited. That is why my own investing has focused on houses on land and not condos in the sky.

Demand comes from jobs and immigration. Where is there job growth and where do immigrants want to live? The greater Vancouver area makes a ton of sense since the weather and lifestyle are awesome. They are accepting of folks from different cultures much like Ontario which is another top destination for immigration and job seekers.  

When demand outstrips supply, that’s where you find price appreciation. 

For all you killing it on the real estate appreciation, congratulations!! You paid attention to economic fundamentals and took action. 

For some investors, their requirements lead with cash flow so I’m hearing how everyday investors are going to Windsor, North Bay, Edmonton, Moncton, New Brunswick or apartment buildings which bring us to this week’s guest, nationwide apartment building investor, Michael Ponte!

Investing In Apartment Buildings Across Canada with Michael Ponte

I first met Michael at a real estate conference many years ago where he was collecting his award as apartment building investor of the year.

Michael invests all across Canada and more recently in the Maritime provinces and he has a unique strategy, one I can’t recall I’ve heard of before in the multifamily space.

Michael also shares some tips on how he’s able to invest in real estate on the other side of the country as he lives in British Columbia but invests as far away as Moncton, New Brunswick. 

I give you Michael Ponte.

From Top Real Estate Coach in Canada To Launching New Authors From California With Julie Broad

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

You know those career moments you have once in a while?

Well, back when I worked in corporate for Big Blue and was making the jump to becoming a Realtor full time, I identified my greatest weakness was negotiations.  So I attacked that weakness reading books and taking courses on the subject, believing all skills can be learnt.

Next, my mentors in Tom and Nick Karadza of Rock Star Real Estate told me the most important part of the business was Marketing.  So I attacked that pretty hard to become what I believed is a decent Marketer.

Then it was Sales skills hence I hired the top Realtor coach in Canada and surrounded myself with unbelievable sales professionals and was a sponge.

About six weeks ago, without proper planning, we bought a house in Oakville, Ontario because it was very nicely renovated, but more importantly has a pool for the kids and a view of the water for Cherry. So I negotiated to win and we won the house.

Next, we had to sell our house to pay for the new house.

So we sold, donated, and gave away about half of our belongings. I’m honestly bad at throwing stuff out and our kids have been lucky to be on the receiving side of a lot of hand me downs and generous gift giving friends and relatives.

So we did that, did a lot of minor renovations for over $10,000.  Spent another $10,000 on professional photography, drone, video, staging, a hotel room for my family and nanny’s family for a week.

Over four days we had 66 showings, 4 offers. I used my communication and negotiation skills to the best of my ability and managed a new neighborhood high for the style of my home. 

Overall, my house is #3 for the all-time highest price. #1 is 1,000 square feet bigger and #2 beats ours by 10 grand but they spent $300,000 more in renovations than I did. Sale price is great, ROI is better for judging financial returns IMHO.

We beat our stretch goal. We are thrilled. I’m exhausted as I couldn’t sleep last night. I don’t have much to complain about as Cherry and I lead blessed lives.

Shout out to Francisco Almeida for bringing us the winning offer and a bottle of champagne as a thank you. 

It’s weird as we can’t celebrate by going to a nice restaurant so instead, I’ll order a bubble tea tonight, hopefully lift some weights in our home gym that took over the eat in kitchen and reflect on the journey.

I hope you’re all crushing it out there. 2021 has started off like a rocket for all you wealth hackers. 

Our real estate clients are reporting record price appreciation and our stock hacker community is killing it with many having their best week ever last week and best month ever this January.

Our accounts are up 14% this January so far. What a game changer this is!

If you too would like to learn how I and our crazy successful real estate clients use the #1 strategy in real estate investing, we offer free training online at www.investortraining.ca. If you type in your name and email, you’ll be emailed about the next live presentation on how we invest in real estate for maximum returns.

If you’re already in real estate in some shape or form and will never be our client, especially you Realtors and Mortgage professionals, and you’re looking for the best side hustle, Stock Hacking is the best I’ve seen for cash flow.

I believe I have only one free demonstration booked this February.  To register for that, www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo

From Top Real Estate Coach in Canada To Launching New Authors From California

On to this week’s returning guest and it’s only been four short years since episode 1 featuring Julie Broad.

Well, she’s back and not much has changed!!

Except she left her dominant position in the real estate influencer space in Canada to move to California and open a new business.

She still invests in real estate in Nanaimo, BC but she’s here today to share about her new book coming out, share why everyone needs to write a book and a few how-to’s to make your book a good one.

She’s the author of “More Than Cash Flow” which is still a top 3-5 real estate book IMHO.

So without further ado, I give you Julie Broad.

From Pumping Gas for a Living in Ontario to Moving to Edmonton as a Full Time Investor and Opening a Bank With Wayne Hillier

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

I hope you are all well and having a great week!

By the time you listen to this, my family and I would have moved into a hotel… Nothing bad happened.

It would have been an Airbnb but unfortunately, the operator cancelled our stay. It’s a shame because we had booked the Airbnb prior to the lockdown announcement on January 12, but I don’t think the operator was aware. Hopefully, they don’t mind the loss of about $2,000 in rental income.

So instead, we’re staying at some huge multinational hotel. Thankfully my Realtor (me) is paying to put us up in the hotel while our house is for sale.

In my market there are considerably more sales than new listings, this is the most extreme seller’s market I’ve ever seen.  Hopefully, we sell fast and reach my goal of being the highest sale price in the neighbourhood.

I’ll be detailing the process at the next iWIN Meeting how I’m attempting to get maximum return on my home since I need to minimize my mortgage on the new home 😛

Thankfully I cash flowed five figures this week stock hacking to pay for all this.

I do have one more free stock hacking demonstration coming up Thursday, Jan 28th, at 8 pm Eastern Standard Time. My apologies for talking about stock hacking so much. 

The truth is I’ve cash flowed more in January stock hacking than my entire real estate portfolio last year. Not just me, my client Robert Watson has averaged $5,000 Canadian each week the last six weeks. 

The truth about real estate investing is my stock hacking bankroll all came from my real estate via refinancing, sale of two properties and HELOCs. 

Robert is my real estate investor client for the last 7 years and as you’d expect he’s done exceptionally well. He bought the first house I told him to buy seven years ago in Hamilton and he’s made a couple hundred thousand. He’s bought a few more after that. When we met, his plan was to get his two kids through university debt free.  Now, his plan is to retire in two years.

Personally, when people have a consistent, repeatable way to make money, I get interested in learning more. 

If you’d like to learn more about the #1 investment strategy in real estate, you can register for our next free training on legal basement apartments at www.investortraining.ca.

We are still your FOUR time Realtors of the Year for investors and real estate is for building wealth.

For cash flow, from my experience, it’s stock hacking. To learn how to cash flow 4% per month please register at www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo 

In bigger news, I subscribe to the Globe and Mail for my news… As a Marketer, I know how social media works or rather doesn’t work as an unbiased news source.

Anyways, the article I just read is titled “Joe Biden plans to block Keystone XL pipeline as one of the first acts in White House”. I read the full article and it’s as bad as the headline. 

What does this have to do with real estate?

Well, oil is one of our biggest exports, the Alberta Government had committed 1.5 billion to developing this pipeline that would have meant jobs in mainly Alberta. Real estate is largely driven by jobs and now there will be less of them for Canadians. 

I personally don’t invest in places like Edmonton and Calgary Alberta because of my laziness to get on a plane. It’s my personal preference to invest within an hour’s drive in case I need to be there in an emergency. 

So instead I’ve brought you someone with boots on the ground in Edmonton, nice guy of the Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast, Wayne Hillier!!

Now we recorded this interview almost a month ago so I’ve asked Wayne for a quote on the pending Keystone pipeline cancellation.  He says it sucks. LOL.  Another good friend of mine tells me Alberta invests heavily into renewable energy so do your own research and decide for yourself.

From Pumping Gas for a Living in Ontario to Moving to Edmonton as a Full Time Investor and Opening a Bank With Wayne Hillier

Wayne Hillier has been investing in Edmonton and Leduc since 2015. 

He’s a dad, husband, landlord. He’s the host of his own podcast the Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast.

He’s starting his own bank, I think that’s a first for this podcast, and he’s got a great story of how it all got started while he was living in a basement and pumping gas for a living.

I give you Wayne Hillier.

Financial Lessons of 2020 from the Wealth Hacking CFP With 14 Properties and 1-2% Cash Flow Per Week With Kathleen Van Den Berg

Good day my fellow wealth hackers!!

Lockdown or no lockdown, I trust you’re staying focused on controlling what you can control. I find getting angry about stuff I can’t control, like government lockdowns and politics a waste of energy. 

I still read about current events from selective sources, not left nor right. I don’t have that much time so I’ll read the non sensationalist stuff.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

I had a friend send me an article titled “Martial Law in Quebec” which is incorrect as the police are not under orders by the military but rather an elected government.

Never forget the media is there to get your attention. 

The more attention of yours you give, the more advertising space they can sell.  I know because I have experience creating and running Facebook and Instagram ads.

Anyway, I personally revisit my goals, focus on my business and investing to continue to support my community, enable more people to create multiple six figure side hustles.

For example, I’m doing free Stock Hacking demonstrations. We had over 500 folks register for the one last week, thankfully a few didn’t show up as the cap on Zoom is exactly 500.

Lockdowns won’t hinder my ability to Stock Hack. I made 9% in both of my accounts last week.

Also last week, we closed on refinancing three of my investment properties for under 3% interest, we’re taking out a bunch of money and depositing it into my corporate Stock Hacking account.

We also moved those same three properties from being personally owned to our corporation, freeing up my personal credit for more mortgages.

Financially, I have no complaints. 

I hope all of you out there are trucking along as well. 

If you’re new to the world of investing, we offer free training in real estate and stock hacking. I believe one needs both… Real estate to build wealth, stock hacking for cash flow.  

Over the past four weeks, I’ve cash flowed over $20,000 US with the same amount of capital to invest in two houses. I’m not looking to brag but instead to express to you what a game changer Stock Hacking.

To learn how to stock hack, we’ll share Joel Arndt’s story on how he stock hacks to earn 4% cash flow per month: www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo

Financial Lessons of 2020 from the Wealth Hacking CFP With 14 Properties and 1-2% Cash Flow Per Week With Kathleen Van Den Berg

On to this week’s show, we have old friend Kathleen Van Den Berg, MBA, CLU, CFP.

I think she’s great because she’s one of the few Certified Financial Planners who recommends owning real estate and she owns a fair amount of real estate too. 

I invited Kathleen to return to the show asking her to share what lessons she’s sharing with her financial planning clients.

Kathleen’s bio:

I have the best job in the world … and I have a ton of fun doing it.

I specialize in working with individuals and families to improve their monthly cash flow and build significantly greater wealth compared to their current approach.

Unlike most other wealth strategists, I include real estate strategies as one of the 6 key components in clients’ wealth building plans.

I implement a 6 step wealth strategy system with clients and routinely am able to create over a million dollars of additional income in retirement.

Starting Investing While In School, Growing Portfolio to 10+ Properties, Surviving the Lockdown, 57% ROI Stock Hacking With John Beddome

Happy New Year My Fellow Wealth Hackers!!

How’s your health and fitness?

Mine took a bit of a holiday since…. March… maybe a lot longer with that. 

With my gym being closed on and off, playing golf in the summer, sitting on my butt in my home office working and making some good cash flow stock hacking, my fitness definitely took a back seat so I joined an eight week muscle building challenge.

So, starting next week I’ll be lifting weights four times a week, following a balanced meal plan for muscle growth, hopefully getting lots of sleep… 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)


Then my gym was shut down… call it quits right?

Nah, I rented a bunch of equipment from Dan and Rachael, owners of Radix gym, filled out a questionnaire, had a body scan done now they’ll customize a workout program and meal plan for my weak stomach and fasting schedule. I’m such a pain in the butt!

One thing I did do well during this ongoing pandemic was I kept the fat off by intermittent fasting. 

In the mornings, I only have coffee and water then I’ll snack around 10 or 11 am, eat a big lunch and a good sized dinner. My weight is the same and based on the body scan results, my recommended fat loss is 1.1 pounds.  Not bad.

If you too are looking to improve your health and fitness, I encourage you to do so. Covid has taught us a lot about our health. Age we can’t control but we can control our fitness and what we eat.

That’s health covered.

Only this morning did I realize I hadn’t spent much time making education plans for 2021 after watching a youtube on a guy who is part of THREE big ticket masterminds. I thought to myself I need to keep up, I’m such a slacker… 

Then, I reminded myself I have a Realtor coach, real estate investing coach, I have three Stock Hacking coaches including best selling author of Get Rich With Options, Lee Lowell, our partner in delivering Stock Hacker Academy.

I just finished a level 2 advanced option traders course and also renewed my membership with my two masterminds, one for real estate investing and a separate 7 figure entrepreneur mastermind group.

Cherry and I have lots of organization systems plans for 2021 as well. 

As always, continuous improvement and continued education is a core value of ours. Judging by the interviews of successful investopreneurs on this show, they share the same value.

Starting Investing While In School, Growing Portfolio to 10+ Properties, Surviving the Lockdown, 57% ROI Stock Hacking With John Beddome

Speaking of successful investopreneurs, we have an old friend on this show in John Beddome. 

John owns over 10 investment properties including single-family duplex conversions, small apartment buildings, he’s well known in the investment real estate community as a Realtor in Barrie, Ontario and surrounding areas. 

I first met John at a real estate networking group about ten years ago because he loves to learn and network just like I do.  

Last year, John took the beta version of Stock Hacker Academy and in 2020, his return at the time of recording was 57%.

If you would like to see a free demonstration of Stock Hacking via Zoom, I’ll do doing one or two of them this January.

As many past guests have shared, this skill is a game changer hence I’m on a mission to share this knowledge with as many people as possible, no different than real estate. 

This is new in 2021. 2020 did a pretty good job letting us know what the best investments are. Real Estate for building wealth, Stock Hacking for cash flow. You need both!

If you’re not sure which one is best for you that’s OK, we offer free training on both.

For Stock Hacking for those who want more cash flow in their lives go to www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo 

For a free investment training, 90 minute class via Zoom, please register at www.investortraining.ca

Everyone needs both, I do both and many successful folks do both. 

Check it out, they cost you nothing but what you learn could be a game changer no different than real estate investing and Stock Hacking has been for our guest, my friend John Beddome.

Leaving Corporate By Investing in Condos, Then Duplex Conversions, Then Apartment Building Conversions, Six Figure Side Hustle Stock Hacking With Martin Kuev

Happy New Year My Fellow Wealth Hackers!!

I hope you all had great and safe holidays!!

Hopefully, Santa was good to you all. My youngest, Bruce at age five already doesn’t believe in Santa. Someone told him back in daycare but my daughter kinda does and asked why Santa stuff her stocking. 

We told her Santa is high risk for Coronavirus so it’s not safe for him to come to our home.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

For Christmas, I wanted to get the family something nice as it’s been a great year for wealth hackers, those who invest smartly and strategically in things like cash flowing real estate and stock hacking. 

Anyone can be a wealth hacker, we all start somewhere.

We have a certified financial planner coming up in a few weeks in Kathleen Van Den Berg.  I’d consider her smart money so I’ll hold off giving any advice and let you hear from a certified professional.

I’m not a financial planner but I am a professional Realtor and real estate investor and we did just have a record year in helping everyday Canadians with their investment real estate outside the greater Toronto area with a heavy focus on cash flow. 

If you’re read anything in the news or listened to the steady stream of successful wealth hackers on this show, then you know this was a great year for smart investors.

Building wealth is an open book test. The real test is who is reading the book.

Our government and the one in the US is planning for more record stimulus. Cash will be printed therefore cash in our savings accounts will be devalued.  Economic theory and best practice as has been proven for some time is to hold hard assets like real estate. Preferably cash flowing real estate so someone else pays the bills.

From a quick search of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, Nov 2020 prices for detached homes is up 28.6% from last year. Over the same time period, the Toronto Real Estate Board is reporting detached prices are up 13.3%. 

How’s that for inflation that doesn’t make the mainstream media. Living costs more than ever. Hopefully you the listener already owns hard assets or have plans to acquire more.

Knowing what a great small business owning real estate is, I started investing in real estate in 2005 and started in 2010 what became iWIN Real Estate to help every day, hard working Canadians build wealth. 

This is why we teach the number 1 investment strategy FOR FREE… exactly how our clients and ourselves invest in cash flowing real estate just outside the GTA. That’s for beginners.

For those who want to continue deeper, we offer monthly iWIN meetings for a nominal fee and 100% of proceeds go to charity. Clients attend for free. 

We normally would do both in person but there’s this virus going around so we’ll host the meetings virtually for now. 

This January, Cherry is presenting on whole life insurance, something we just got for ourselves.

Together with insurance expert Jayson Lowe, they will explain the concept of infinite banking, how we can own insurance so our kids aren’t overburdened with taxes when we pass on to them a ton of assets but also how we can leverage the whole life insurance to invest more assuming you have means to earn more than the paltry interest rate of 6%.

We’ll also have Anna Scott, a professional real estate investor and Mortgage Agent sharing a behind-the-scenes look at real private lending deals and we have my lawyer Hussin Kadrati reviewing social media posts from people looking to raise capital and the possible implications by the Ontario Securities Commission. 

I know lots of people successfully raising capital over Facebook and Instagram, make sure you do it without getting in trouble!

If you’re interested, you can get more details at www.investortraining.ca to get on my email list and you’ll find out about all our events. 

Also, you will find the presentation I gave to almost 1,600 investors on how I personally invest for my kids so they don’t have to go into crazy debt to go to university or buy their first home.

www.investortraining.ca

Cash-flowing real estate in my experience is for building wealth. For cash flow, I’m stock hacking and our students of the Stock Hacker Academy are just killing it.

In classic Canadian fashion, no one likes to brag on social media but my DM’s are full of thanks and screen captures of their returns. 

One of my most conservative clients and past guest of this show, Nick Ditomaso has made 35% in nine months.  My cousin Chubby had his best month with $6,700 in returns. 

A business mentor of mine cleared $30,000 this month and another student of ours has what I call stock hacker problems. He made too much in his personal trading account and wants to open a corporate account to minimize his taxes going forward.

Cherry and I averaged 10% in December alone, far way more cash flow than our entire real estate portfolio!

The past students are calling this a game-changer and if you’d like to learn more, I’m giving free demonstrations in January. Simply go to www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo to register.

As the way of the Wealth Hacker, my work funded my real estate purchases. 

My real estate investments were refinanced to invest in more houses.  My real estate equity gains funded my stock hacking bankroll.  My greatest source of cash flow is funded by “house money” and I’m not trying to impress but rather express what this newfound cash flow can do. 

My one week of cash flow last week paid for my Christmas present to the family and my mom. Both a Disney World and Disney Cruise vacation in 2022. 

For those who know me, I’m really frugal and this is the most we’ve ever spent on a vacation.  Flight of course will be paid for with my travel points because I’m still frugal but I’m able to convince myself the expense is ok as it’s only one week’s cash flow.

Leaving Corporate By Investing in Condos, Then Duplex Conversions, Then Apartment Building Conversions, Six Figure Side Hustle Stock Hacking With Martin Kuev

But enough about me, this week we have my old friend Martin Kuev on the show. 

Martin like many had a young family, a well-paying job in corporate, started a side hustle investing in condos and progressed into renovating single-family homes to create basement apartments, then again levelling up into serious apartment building renovations for highest and best values.

Definitely innovative stuff so I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

We talk about life, the challenges of Martin leaving his executive corporate job just after having twins, Martin’s new side hustle he learnt from the Stock Hacker Academy and earned him six figures in his first year, and we chat a bit about cryptocurrency as Martin’s close friend is high up at Ethereum.

As I record this, the date is New Year and I’d like to take a moment to say farewell to the year 2020.

The pandemic changed our daily lives and will continue to do so in 2021. I am grateful to have my investopreneur community, our clients, students of Stock Hacker Academy and you the listener.

I was afraid like everyone else, we deferred a mortgage or two, I took a CERB payment which I’ve since paid back. 

But servicing this community kept me focussed. There was no time for us.

I had to find answers as to what was going on on the streets both real estate and stock market hence we had our emergency series of webinars (my apologies for the poor connection, my internet hasn’t been the same since the pandemic started). 

Those webinars, the podcast, our iWIN meetings were my outlet for my focus and to share. To share with you the best practices and help you all be successful wealth hackers. That’s always been my #1 goal.

The road was definitely rocky but with the vaccine here and being rolled out and how our investment behaved… I think that’s the ultimate testament we are investing the right way and that only has me more optimistic for the future of our collective investing in 2021.

I know my clients are in real estate and stock hacking are optimizing their returns and I hope you are too!

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 at 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

Municipal bylaws to watch out for…

Mortgage terms that favour refinancing…

AND one barely used tactic for higher appraisals…

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

I have this one listener, a chiropractor who took up stock options after listening to this show.

He was at crossroads whether to open a second practice or build his investment portfolio around stock options. This was before the pandemic and I don’t think I have to tell you which investment was better.

Hindsight is 2020 of course and I’m speechless with the kind words that continue to pour in.

Who would have thought that in the middle of a pandemic, so many have created six-figure side hustles with limited effort?!  Yes of course you need money to make money but I’ve never experienced such efficient means to make money with money.

I’ve posted a couple of messages on my social media on Facebook and Instagram if you’d like to read them. My name is Erwin Szeto, just search if you’d like to be social media friends.

Yes, the pandemic and lockdowns kinda suck but if I wasn’t locked down, I wouldn’t have put so much effort into learning a new skill that is Stock Hacking and built a program in partnership with best selling author of “Get Rich With Options” the godfather of stock options in order to share what I’ve learnt and help other hard working Canadians learn a new six-figure side hustle!

I’ve mentioned it before, my guess is 80% of real estate investors are failed stock investors, I was one of them.

Who doesn’t want to make money sitting at a desk or from a smartphone? It wasn’t until I met people who could make consistent returns that I opened my eyes to the opportunity.

This brings us to this week’s guest, the lovely Khatera Osman.

From Immigrant To Single Mom To Apartment Building Investor, Award-Winning Real Estate Broker, To 6 Figure Stock Hacker With Khatera Osman

Her story is pretty amazing but she wouldn’t tell you it is.

Khatera was born in Afghanistan, a war-torn country but thankfully her family was able to immigrate to Germany.

From there Khatera moved to the greatest country in the world and became interested in real estate.  She became a real estate agent, then built an award-winning team, started investing in condos and graduated to apartment buildings East of Toronto. 

As someone who loves to learn, in the fall of 2019, before knowing what a stock even was, she took our program called the Stock Hacker Academy and since then, I’m pretty sure Khatera’s Stock Hacking returns are better than mine.

If you’re locked down like we are and interested in learning a life skill that cash flows, I’m hosting free demos over Zoom and will be sharing a preview of the Stock Hacker Academy this January. 

Go to https://www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo to register. 

This isn’t for everyone and success is never guaranteed but I’m so proud of our students like Khatera.

Like recent guests Rene Masse, Kris Lewis, James MBM Maggs, Joel Arndt, Leslie and Jamie Collard, Michael Bugg, the godmother to my kids Monica Lee, Cody Yeh, Ron Esteban, Paul Yeung, Victoria Masucci. The list gets longer each week.

You don’t have to take my course. Take any course. Same with real estate investment. I care but I care more that you go out there and be educated and successful. 

Life is tough enough but it’s way easier when you embrace challenges and make money. 

That’s my experience at least.

Again that’s www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo

If you have any questions, I’ll be there to answer them.

One last note about Khatera, she loves to learn and grow and invest in her education. I’m the same and if you’ve listened to this show, you know pretty much all the guests on this show invest heavily in their education.

I present to you, Khatera Osman.
