How A Former Teacher, Now A Contractor Buys Off Market Houses to Duplexes And His New Found Six Figure Side Hustle With Rene Masse

/0 Comments/in /by

What you didn’t know about Cherry.

I have a lot of people asking me about my relationship with Cherry as we work so well together in building a couple successful businesses, a real estate portfolio, a stock hacking portfolio and our registered charity the Hamilton Basket Brigade.

On top of that, we have two happy and healthy young kids.

How do we get on the same page?

It starts with Cherry being just as driven as I, She’s quite bright.

Cherry was honour roll at Waterloo University, top 60 in Canada in the UFE exam (exit exam for all Accounting students) and the first honour rollee in the history of the firm she worked at. 

Cherry is also ambitious. I’d argue some days she is more ambitious than me in pushing even me for higher levels.

It was her idea to register the charity so we could level up both our legitimacy and increase our fundraising by providing charitable receipts.

It was my crazy idea to host a conference with Grant Cardone as the headliner but Cherry shocked even me when she was on board at the hop.

We support one another and have regular mastermind meetings on business, investment and personal. 

We rarely say no to one another. For example, Cherry wanted to move our home closer to work to cut down our commute so we could spend more time with the kids.

That comes with a big price tag and bigger mortgage payments, something that’s against my core values but when I saw the house and Cherry reminded me it was her dream to have a view of water, something switched inside me, all bets were off and I was negotiating the offer to win.

Losing was not an option.  

We weren’t even actively looking as we are switching over a bunch of our investment properties out of our personal names to a corporation so we can get more mortgages for more properties.  Crazy eh?

That brings me to a learning lesson I’d like to share.

Be cautious of who you accept investment advice from. 

A mortgage agent advised a real estate investor we know that Accountants just want to sell corporations to make money.  The flip side however is some mortgage agents can’t offer you a mortgage in a corporation. 

It’s a tricky situation as corporations do come with costs but you know what? All the rich people I know personally invest in real estate and stock hack in a corporation.

This is hardly advice, I’m just sharing my opinions and observation of my rich friends.

How A Former Teacher, Now A Contractor Buys Off Market Houses to Duplexes And His New Found Six Figure Side Hustle With Rene Masse

Speaking of rich friends, this week our guest is Rene Masse.

His parents were school teachers. Rene went to school to become a teacher, didn’t last a week and became a full-time contractor and real estate investor.  His focus was largely student rentals and no more on converting single-family homes into two-family homes.

Rene is also a successful graduate of www.stockhackeracademy.ca where he’s achieved over $100,000 in returns this year, his rookie year as a stock hacker.

For anyone interested in learning more about how to create a six-figure life skill, I will be hosting demos again in the new year… To register go to https://www.stockhackeracademy.ca/demo

How Dave Knight Got Started in Real Estate, Graduated to Wholesaling and Flipping, and Giving Back to the First Responder Community

/0 Comments/in /by

Oh, where to begin!

We bought a house so we are moving to be closer to our office so our kids can be closer to us. 

The new house checks many boxes for what we were looking for… It has a pool, backs onto a pond, a walkout basement, an inlaw suite, fully renovated, great schools in walking distance.

It’s kind of funny to see my handyman working at my house more than ever. Normally, all our investment properties get all the investment. We never even painted our house when we moved in. It’s now finally getting painted seven years later!

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

It’s a funny thing to move homes!

My kids were born here and my vision was to leave this house to our kids for when they want to settle down but plans change. I look forward to the challenge of maximizing the sale price of our home to minimize the size of the new mortgage.

Because I don’t practice being a realtor on a regular basis, I will enjoy the opportunity to practice my sales skills like I did when I listed our investment property and sold it for over asking, firm last month.

As a concerned parent, I’ve asked some friends about kids moving schools including super apartment building investor Brian Pulis of Pulis Investments. A REIT of apartment buildings.

Anyways, one of the silver linings of the pandemic is my kids can’t play with the neighbour’s kids and only half the students of their class actually attend in-person classes as my kids do. 

Now, the new house has a pool, the parks are bigger and closer to home, and the rear pond freezes in the winter for pond skating so we’ll have lots of fun things to do at the new house.

As the year 2020 is winding down, I’ve done a lot of reflecting with Cherry and my team on how this year went by fast and at the same time, I think we aged at least three years. 

I’m looking forward to slowing down in December to recharge as it’s been quite a sprint. 

Even without doing a conference this year, we still did a bunch more than we had planned to do. We delivered a series of emergency webinars with tenant management experts, Cherry a government subsidy expert, Diane Digiandomenico my super property manager friend.

Thankfully the government stepped in with CERB and rental income started coming in.

We talked several investor clients off ledges.

I had one client tell me his mentor sold all his investment properties and he was asking me why I wasn’t doing the same… in hindsight, we got lucky and we had our best year for price appreciation.

Stock Hacker Academy in partnership with Lee Lowell was a massive success. We have one more proven method to help hard-working Canadians create a six-figure side hustle aside from investment real estate. 

We actually had feedback that Cherry and I’s big hairy audacious goal of helping 10,000 folks create six-figure hustles for themselves was too low. LOL.  

The website is www.stockhackeracademy.ca. 

I know many of you are skeptical which is totally cool. I was too and just like real estate, the most common regret among stock hackers is why didn’t they start sooner. 

It’s not the worst thing to wait, our last course was the best we’ve delivered to date and our next will be the best as well as we roll out additional education modules to ensure the success of our students. 

2021 will be a big year for our wealth hacker community and I hope you’ll be a part of it. 

Fingers crossed we can deliver a live and in-person conference late 2021 and if not then, early 2022.  I’m already working on another major keynote speaker and stupid excited about it.

How Dave Knight Got Started in Real Estate, Graduated to Wholesaling and Flipping, and Giving Back to the First Responder Community

Dave Knight is a full-time Police Officer who outside the workplace has been able to grow a multi-million dollar rental income portfolio…

He has since written a book, audiobook and created a course intended for first responders to expose the many possibilities to invest in real estate.

Full disclosure, Dave is a past client of ours, a friend and like all my friends I’m teaching him stock hacking so he may share that with his community as well. 

After all, everyday heroes need six-figure side hustles too and thank you to all first responders for your service.

3 Side Hustles For Multiple Streams of Income: Real Estate Syndication, Hedge Fund, and Realtor with David Sun

/0 Comments/in /by

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

For anyone new to the show, I consider a wealth hacker one who invests in real estate, stock options, private equities, and maybe a bit of infinite banking. 

These, plus a business that produces income, are the assets of the rich. 

If you don’t believe me, simply google “Tiger 21”, a network of individuals with 10 million or more of investable assets and have a look at the member surveys of their asset mix.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

In my experience, learning from the rich is a great way to become one of them….

If you’re on my email I’ve included a link to a CNBC article: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/19/heres-where-the-wealthiest-investors-are-finding-opportunities.html

Spoiler alert: The top three weightings in order are, real estate, public equities (aka stocks and stock options hence we stock hack) and private equities. 

Personally, I’m way more real estate heavy but otherwise, I’m inline because of my stock hacking and the private equities I invest in for real estate developments and apartment buildings for more diversification within real estate and within Ontario.

LOL I know that sounds kind of funny.

I’m pretty sure any real financial planner would not call that diversification.  However, in my experience, the returns are tough to beat.

If you want to email us for a referral of where I personally invest for real estate developments and apartment buildings please feel free to.

For those looking for something to read, one of my mentors recommended that I read “Who Not How” by Dan Sullivan, the famous coach to entrepreneurs.

I listened to the audiobook at 1.5X on my commute to work. It’s not a heavy technical read so I found the audiobook easy to consume.

I now find myself saying who not how a couple times each day to team members, my kids, Cherry, etc…

The book is about how we as investopreneurs often focus too much on trying to learn how to do something versus who already has the skills, experience and know-how…

I mean that’s how we built iWIN real estate.

Our clients are mainly from the GTA, regular Canadians with have busy careers, kids and family. They don’t have 10,000 hours to master real estate investing and build a team like we have. Hence we are their who.

They leverage us as their who to help them hack their wealth vs the folks who read 50 books and watch or listen to thousands of hours of YouTube and podcasts. Their focus is on the how.

In my experience, I’ve had a lot of success hiring experts to either teach me or do the job for me. Like my golf coach who shot +1 when we played 9 holes together on the weekend. I’ve locked him up for the next two months for coaching. 

The cool part is less than one day of my stock hacking returns paid for it.  Just like my last week’s returns will pay for next year’s golf membership. 

That is what I’ve learnt from the rich when the cash flow from your investments pays for your expenses.

So whatever part of wealth hacking you’re interested in, feel free to sign up for my newsletter and see what we have going on.

For Example, January 23rd is our next iWIN meeting, the cost is $20 and it all goes to charity.  Clients attend for free.

Cherry and our insurance guy will be presenting on the subject of infinite banking, a common practice by my rich friends. 

My lawyer Hussein will also be in attendance to give any legal perspectives and I’ve sent him a bunch of screen captures I’ve taken from social media from people trying to raise capital. 

I’ve asked my lawyer Hussein to comment from a securities law perspective so we raise capital safely without massive investigations and fines.

If you are interested in getting more information, go to www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca, enter your name and email to subscribe and you’ll be informed about all our upcoming events and how to get in touch with my team that’s taken me well over 10,000 to assemble. 

It is our goal to be the who for generations of future wealth hackers, owners of multiple six-figure side hustles.

3 Side Hustles For Multiple Streams of Income: Real Estate Syndication, Hedge Fund, and Realtor with David Sun

Speaking of side hustles, our guest this week is David Sun, who is a Princeton graduate.

Yes, he’s American, an engineer who does engineering-type stuff for his day job and he has three serious side hustles, four if you count that he owns a single rental property… I guess that counts. Four side hustles.

David is a general partner in an investment real estate syndicate, a structure required for multiple investors and large projects such as a student rental residence with hundreds of bedrooms.

David is a part time Realtor and he has his own hedge fund, an alternative investment of pooled funds where he employs stock option strategies to actively increase returns for his investors.

David is also a husband and dad to young kids.

I suddenly feel lazy.

I present to you David Sun.

Raising Capital On Social Media, Flipping, Sourcing Flips, Flip Math, Private Lending With The Fruitful Investor Mat Piche

/0 Comments/in /by

Hello, My Fellow Wealth Hackers!

A quick share on something that’s always served me well.

I have an open mind, it’s something my dad taught me as he comes from a science background, to be inquisitive, but not naive. 

It’s served me well as an investopreneur as there are naturally tons of ways to lose money.

I’ve lost lots of money on poor investments, bad contractors, bad employees, bad Marketing and social media services.

I’ve had dentists try to sell me expensive work I didn’t need (my dad’s old business partner is a dentist. He’s very out of the way for me but I’ll make the trip for a second opinion not once but twice).

I’ve had a Realtor tell me a sixplex needed $70,000 to increase the property value by $200,000 yet the property had been listed for two months already and was being sold by a well-known slumlord.

He didn’t know who I was nor my buddy who is a Fireman as we stared in amazement at the wood fire escape that looked ready to fall off the building and didn’t even have steps that made it to the ground by about 10 feet.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)

Anyway, one of my mentors is investing heavily into Bitcoin which has been on a tear. 

Personally, I’ll wait for a pullback before getting in but I did purchase some Ethereum and I’m up around 60% ROI in just a week. 

I also own some gold and gold miner stocks. 

When smart people who have an extensive track record of making money share advice with me, I listen, research and take action.

Saying no is also action…

I say no way more than I say yes plus I have Cherry to vet my ideas since she sees hundreds of tax returns. She knows where people make and lose money. It’s that simple.  And by track record, I mean at least ten years.  With great references… And not because they have a youtube channel or a podcast.

This week we’re going to the mailbag to answer some questions.

“Hey, Erwin! Love the real estate podcast but I’m also interested in the stock hacking side as well. Just curious on average what amount of money is invested for these kinds of returns?”

A: No different than real estate, returns vary between real estate investors. 

For example, this week’s guest Mat Piche makes more money on his investments than I do. Our appreciation might be the same but he has his own construction crews, own home staging, etc…

From what guests have shared on this podcast, Joel Arndt who works for me is averaging 4% per month since June and just did a 7% cash return in November. 

Ron Esteban, a school teacher who will be returning to the show is averaging a couple thousand dollars per week.

Kris Lewis is averaging 1-2% per week since April I think. 

Michael Bugg, a veterinarian was averaging just over $3,000 per week. 

Of course, the past does not predict the future.

My real estate client Andrew is an outlier as he’s shared with me he’s returned 200% as he correctly invested in mostly electric vehicles manufacturers and some stay at home stocks.

I honestly don’t even want to share these grand slam returns my friends are getting because it’s crazy but it’s the truth.

Myself, it’s been a great month, I’m up 20% in November. I realized $4,200 US today.

Follow on question: “have about 5k at the moment I’m willing to invest, do you think it’s better spent on education or learning what I can now and taking action? I understand you have multiple stock hacker courses at different levels. Where would you recommend I start?”

Answer: The answer depends.

When I was younger my focus was first on maximizing my job income so I can save more and get more credit for mortgages hence I invested in my own training.

I have consumed a lot of Brian Tracy’s books and programs including Psychology of Success and Psychology of Sales. I soon after switched roles in my company from Operations to Product Management and received a 40% pay increase as I was taking more responsibility. 

A few years later, I became a successful Realtor very fast. I started in the summer of 2010 and in 2011 I earned six figures in commissions. 

Both the increased salary and career in real estate allowed me to become a much better real estate investor and qualify for more credit”

I don’t mind answering questions from listeners, just please don’t ask me to mentor you, I have kids and team members and clients I’m responsible for.

On to this week’s guest in Mat Piche…

I invited Mat to come hang out, record a podcast, I showed Mat and his excellent videographer Tyler how to Stock Hack. 

We went to Virtual Galaxies to shoot zombies in virtual reality where we walk around with game controllers shaped like guns, a headset and headphones, and a battery pack in an empty room but the game is displayed on our headsets.

It’s super cool.

We were joined by fellow investors Seth Ferguson, Andrew Hines, Ron Esteban, Charles Wah and Kevin Huynh – All six and seven-figure real estate investors and professionals.

Needless to say, we had a blast, a lot of laughs, I may have made a comment about how visible minorities never make it out alive in horror movies so our fair skin friends would lead the way, get between us and the zombies. It worked out as Ron and I got the top scores. 

We went for dinner afterwards where the conversation of course covered real estate, private lending, flipping, and stock hacking. 

There are few things I enjoy better than hanging out with like-minded, successful people.  You never know what you’ll learn. 

If safe to do so, I recommend you all do the same.

Our collective mental health has suffered during this pandemic. I hope you’re all taking care of yourselves.  Grab some friends, go for dinner, go for a hike, preferably with like-minded success seeking people. 

Not sure where to find such people, our iWIN meetings are publicly available. In-person is for clients only.  Online is available to anyone.

The January 23rd meeting will feature a market update, what we are seeing on the streets of investment properties and a feature presentation on infinite banking by our guest and Cherry Chan. 

We’ll have Hussein my lawyer on hand as well so attendees have a comprehensive understanding of this secret of the rich.

A personal friend of mine was magically able to obtain 3-4 more mortgages after running into a wall. 

If you’re on my email newsletter, you’ll have the links to register.  Go to www.truthaboutrealetateinvesting.ca, enter your name and email address on the right and you’ll receive updates on the podcast, the show notes and event happenings including Stock Hacker Academy.

Quick stock hacking update:

I’m up 20% return in the month of November and last week I cash flowed $3,000 US. Today $4,200 US.  This is my new normal.

Growing my real estate businesses and four figures of cash flow per week as a side hustle with plans to golf a lot more next year.

Personally, I would want to learn this asap, maybe even over the holiday because if you follow US politics at all, the new President promised a whole bunch of stimulus. 

I’m not a particularly smart person but I’ve done a job of getting in front of monetary trends. www.stockhackeracademy.com

Raising Capital On Social Media, Flipping, Sourcing Flips, Flip Math, Private Lending With The Fruitful Investor Mat Piche

Mat Piche is a normal guy, a third-generation carpenter. 

He used to have a job renovating houses, then he started his own business renovating investment properties for investors. Investors ask Mat if he knew any great investment specialist realtors, he didn’t so he became it. 

Mat started sharing on YouTube back when fire was invented in 2012 and the rest is history.

Replacing Teacher Income With MLM and Real Estate and $200,000 On A Duplex Conversion with Pascale Brisson

/0 Comments/in /by

Welcome, Real Estate Investors!

I hope you’re all staying awesome, happy, and healthy out there.

2020 has been a terrible year for many and it’s an odd feeling, guilty almost for us Wealth Hackers to celebrate so much success this year.

Among our community of investors, after a record year for returns in both real estate and stock hacking, the conversation has shifted to infinite banking – It’s one of the secrets of the rich.

It will be the main topic we cover at the iWIN Meeting this coming January. 

It’s why I avoided drinking for a month before my blood and urine test for the insurance company. This better be good, as my investment is significant but my wife Cherry, who is an Accountant is spearheading this for our family.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto)


Speaking of presentations, at my mastermind with fellow 7 seven-figure entrepreneurs, I was asked to give a presentation on how I’ve learnt to build a mindset of positivity, optimism and gratitude to a group of entrepreneurs…

I’ll be sharing the same presentation to a group of investors at the upcoming Nov 28th iWIN meeting.  I’m not always happy though, I just make sure I’m working and investing smart and my gratitude outshines the dark moments.

If you’re on our email newsletter then you’ll read about our upcoming meetings.

Our upcoming Nov 28th meeting includes guest talks from Jay Gabrani who decided to not grow his online business and instead focus on having more free time, personal real estate development investments, and stock hacking. 

Jay will be sharing how he came to this decision and how he’s developing his investment properties and Stock Hacking.

We also have Anna Scott who will be sharing her stories and experiences being on all sides of real estate deals: as the silent money and credit pattern, as the real estate expert, as a private money lender, borrower and now brokering private money deals as a Mortgage Agent.

Our iWIN meetings are publicly available again…

For non clients, the cost is nominal and all proceeds go to charity. 

Anyone who subscribes to my email newsletter will be notified when we host events both real estate and stock hacking. 

To get on my newsletter which comes with being notified of new episodes of this podcast with show notes, go to www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca.  Enter your name and email address on the right side and that’s it!

Quick update from the stock hacking competition between Cherry and I.

Because our stock hacking is going so well and with our plans to upgrade our home, we are closing the personal account and consolidating to trade in only the corporate account. 

I’ll manage the trading going forward as Cherry will focus more on growing her business and my businesses. 

Between the two accounts, we are averaging a 42% return and well into six figures. 

Not bad for a beginner, after a market crash, and a bagillion mistakes eh? 

I’ve learnt a lot this year and the future for our stock hacking couldn’t be brighter.

With the holidays approaching, I’m receiving all these requests for my office address for hate mail and Christmas cards and to be honest, from people wanting to express their appreciation for what this podcast or real estate or Stock Hacking has meant to them. 

I appreciate all the kind words and what I really enjoy is reading positive reviews on iTunes.  Reviews also help new listeners decide on what podcasts they listen to and I would like to help them like we’ve hopefully helped you.

So if real estate, Stock Hacking or this podcast has helped you, kindly leave a review, by simply googling “iTunes truth about real estate investing”, go to reviews, 5 stars, of course, is preferred and let me know how this show has helped.

Replacing Teacher Income With MLM and Real Estate and $200,000 On A Duplex Conversion with Pascale Brisson

Pascale is a mom and wife living in Ottawa, Ontario. 

As a young mom and school teacher, the pandemic hit her pretty hard with the decision to keep teaching in a changing environment and sending her young son back to daycare.

Pascale decided to pivot this past summer to work online in multi-level marketing. I’ve invited Pascale on this show because multi-level marketing is a common thread among many investors. 

Jules Mckenzie has done it. Lynne Tham was a dynamo for Tupperware and I have other friends who’ve been successful in MLM as well who later go on to massive success in real estate. 

She’s a successful real estate investor and she shares her number on her current project.

Age 26, Making $300,000 in 20 Months On Cash Flowing Duplexes and 70 Hour Weeks With Joe Costanza

/1 Comment/in /by

What was I thinking not hiring a coach sooner?

For regular listeners, you know I’m a big fan of self development, learning, reading, and one of my favourite hacks is having coaches.

I have Crossfit coaches, a Realtor coach, two Stock Hacking coaches, a new real estate investing coach and a pretty new golf coach.

My golf coach’s name is Chris and he’s a lot better than I at golf.  He’s an associate golf pro at a pretty nice public golf course in Oakville, Ontario. He’s a tall, thin, 150 pound scratch golfer and drives the ball 300 yards.  Scratch golf means he’s in the top 1.6% of golfers who report their scores.

As with anything in life, business, health, investing, I view it all as an experiment. 

When the pandemic hit, the first thing we were allowed to do was golf so I took up the sport.  2020 is the first year I’ve played more than twice in a season so I think that qualifies me as a beginner.

This past Friday I had just my fourth golf lesson with Chris and finally made some massive improvements, the most improvement I’ve made all season.

Right after my lesson, we played nine holes and I proceeded to have my best 9 holes of the season highlighted by landing my ball 12 feet from the hole on a 193 par 3 with my 5 iron. That’s about 30 yards farther than I normally hit my 5 iron and I made the putt for my first birdie of the season. 

The next day, I was golfing with Cherry and ten other friends and I had one of my better rounds of the season include 3 pars and a birdie on the front 9.

What is the point of all this?

After the round was over I couldn’t help but kick myself how if I could do it all again, I would have invested more heavily into coaching near the beginning of the season as much of the practice I did this season was kinda wasted.

This was yet another experiment that proved to me the value of coaching. 

Practice and youtube and reading articles online as much as I did… those tens of hours did not compare to the 4 hours of coaching I’ve received. 

Going forward I will be taking weekly lessons as it is one of my Stock Hacking goals to afford me a nice golf membership.

In my experience, I pay tens of thousands each year for coaching and the investment has returned. 

My question to the listener is where can you fast track your success by hiring a coach? I’ve wasted a lot of time in all areas by not having a coach.

Please don’t make the same mistakes I did.

This week’s guest, 26-year-old Joe Costanza was smart and worked with Coach Tammy Ditomaso from my IWIN Real Estate team to begin his real estate journey. 

If you’re interested in learning for free the same strategy implemented by young Joe who’s increased his net worth by over $300,000 in just 20 months then go to www.iwinrealestate.ca and enter your contact information to be notified of our next free training class on the #1 investment strategy in real estate.

On to this week’s show!

Age 26, Making $300,000 in 20 Months On Cash Flowing Duplexes and 70 Hour Weeks With Joe Costanza

I first met Joe Costanza 20 months ago when he was a starry-eyed 24-year-old who had been hustling since a teenager, working several jobs, living at home to save up down payments for real estate. 

An architect by trade and having tried several side hustles less than successfully, Joe settled on real estate without much support from his parents.

Fast forward to today, Joe owns three properties, two he’s already duplexed and the third to be duplexed house with a joint venture partner. 

This is Joe’s story.  For those who like numbers, we’re pretty heavy with the numbers in this episode so have your pens ready.

I give you Joe Costanza.

10 Duplexes In Five Years, 100% Committing to Wealth Hacking, Cash Flowing 1-2% per WEEK with Kris Lewis

/0 Comments/in /by

Greetings my fellow Wealth Hackers,

What did you do for Halloween?

I love seeing everyone dress up! For my mastermind meeting with real estate dynamos like Susan White, Aaron Moore, Ryan Carr, Rachel Oliver, Sarah Coupland, they all showed up in costume to our Zoom meeting.

It was hilarious!

As I’m sworn to secrecy of what is discussed, I’ll share that “Beaker of the Muppets and a giant Hamburger made appearances” and I’ll leave it to you to guess who was who.

View this post on Instagram

Happy Halloween from our family to yours!!

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto) on

My costume arrived late but it’s a bit of an evergreen costume, so I’ll do a reveal at a later time.

My kids dressed as Batman of course and Captain Marvel but more exciting than Halloween for me was the kids had their belt grading at kickboxing the morning of Halloween. This the first athletic test they’ve done and it’s the first time our club has allowed non-students to watch. 

Thanks to Covid, I’m stuck waiting outside in the car while the kids are in kickboxing class. I was totally surprised by how much the kids have learnt.

For the grading, they had to demonstrate boxing, kickboxing and even Karate style punches and kicks.  I personally appreciate a cross-discipline approach, no different than I invest in real estate and Stock Hack.

Our club is open-minded to teach different styles of striking. For any mixed martial arts or UFC fans out there, you know the importance of multiple disciplines.

The kids both passed and I couldn’t be more proud. 

We celebrated with ice cream that I bought on sale at Loblaws 🙂

10 Duplexes In Five Years, 100% Committing to Wealth Hacking, Cash Flowing 1-2% per WEEK with Kris Lewis

On to this week’s guest, an award-winning investor, Kris Lewis

Kris is a dad, husband, multiple business owner who is really into spreadsheets while grinding through to earn his ‘luck’.

His current priorities include reverse engineering a life he thought was impossible only a few years earlier.  His goal from an investment perspective, which massively goes against his personality, is to make his income streams extremely boring.

Kris is a real estate investor focusing on the Durham region, specializing in duplex conversions, while knowing in the first 30 seconds whether a property makes sense for his long-term strategy. 

Kris believes in multiple streams of income as an insurance policy, which makes sense given his chosen profession. He believes in continuing to educate himself and to learn from what others before him have done.

While Kris knows that knowledge is key, he also realizes that embracing fear, making sacrifices and most importantly being ready to take action is an even bigger piece of the financial success puzzle, as evidenced by his 10 moves in the last 6 years. 

He’s come to relish the unpredictability of life and the opportunities that present themselves.

Before you go, if you’re interested in learning more about an alternative means of cash flowing like hundreds of other real estate investors have, then sign up for my newsletter and you’ll learn of the next free demonstration webinar I’ll be delivering.

It’s a much improved demonstration of the one I’ve given to my cousin Chubby at Thanksgiving dinner in 2019. He now averages 1% cash flow per week.

As a real estate investor myself, I got into real estate for the cash flow but with the rising costs to operate a rental business, it’s just not the same it was 5-10 years ago when I started.

Never forget cash flow reduces your risk, the more you have, the more lumps you can absorb and if you have no or limited cash flow, you’ll be paying out of your pocket like I did at a recent basement flood at my student rental in St. Catharines, ON.

If you’re interested in learning more, register for free for my newsletter at https://www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca/ and enter your name and email address on the right side. We’ll include in the newsletter when we announce our next free stock hacker demonstration.

Find out for yourself what so many real estate investors are doing to diversify and increase their cash flow. And if you can’t tell, I love teaching this stuff 🙂

Free Land to Build, Basement and Garden Suites To Maximize Cash Flow With Andy Tran

/0 Comments/in /by

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

The secret to happiness is practicing gratitude and I’m grateful I can still go to my Radix Crossfit gym in Oakville. 

I’m thankful several politicians including my local MPP’s who stood up to Doug Ford to not send us back to Stage 2, thus our gyms and indoor restaurants are staying open.

Before anyone gets mad, I get enough hate for doing this podcast for FREE. I’m no anti masker, this is hardly political, but I’ll happily stand up for small businesses since they’re not the source problem. It’s private gatherings and “sources unknown”. 

The sources are unknown because people are gathering in private, getting sick then lying to health officials about it. It’s not rocket science. 

Knowing the greatest source of transmission is private gatherings, why are restaurants and gyms the ones to be shut down and go bankrupt when in my area, they have not been the problem? And from my experience, they’ve invested thousands of dollars and hired additional staff for cleaning, disinfecting and screening.

In my city, the mayor stated how cases are declining below the provincial average and we have ample capacity at our hospitals so why another shut down to put the nail in the coffin of more small businesses.  I really don’t get it. 

Anyways, I’ve always believed talk is cheap and I put my money where my mouth is.

I’m making a $250 donation to MPP Jane McKenna who is not my MPP and I’ve let my MPP know about it.  I let my MPP know that I support leaders who support local small businesses who will stand up to Doug Ford. I’ve said it a couple of times, this pandemic is making people crazy, so that’s enough ranting from me.

The other crazy thing is how not crazy my real estate and stock hacker friends have been. For those who say money doesn’t buy happiness… well apparently it buys sanity. 

Shout out to Shane Layte who DM’d me.  He’s our real estate client and his stock hacking returns this year were 96% but he gave back some to land at 86% currently.  Or his returns are $5,000 less than what he’s earned this year at his 40+ hour job. 

In case I forgot to shout out Ron Esteban, I had lunch with Ron last week, we had him on the podcast just a few months ago but he’ll be coming back asap after he dropped a bomb on me. 

Ron has the highest percentage returns of any stock hacker alumni I’ve seen at 149% but do keep in mind, he’s account was funded by his real estate investments.  You need both real estate and stock hacking to be like Ron Esteban.

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Fingers crossed my costume arrives. I ordered it from Amazon and paid for express shipping. It’s now 9-10 days late. Hopefully, I’ll have pictures to post next week in the badass costume. 

From reading what my friend the infectious disease doctor is saying, we will be walking the neighbourhood with the kids in costume to enjoy the decorated homes. Cherry and I will buy our own candy to give to the kids and hide them around the house Easter egg hunt style. 

I’ll have to figure something that’s healthier as we only let Robin and Bruce eat very little candy so they actually don’t like stuff that’s too sweet as they’re not used to it. So whatever we buy, I have to want to eat it…. Oh boy, I need to get back into the gym more and have my work cut out for me.

In the real estate world, I will be speaking at the Investor Forum hosted by Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine.

It is my honour to be one of their guest speakers and to share with everyday Canadians the best opportunities in real estate and hopefully, they will indulge me to share about stock hacking… this is the organization that awarded my team Real Estate Agent of the Year to Investors in back to back years 2016 and 2017. 

I will be on an expert panel sharing the when and where and what the best strategies are for 2021 for above market cash flow and returns. 

There is a link in the show notes to join the already 500 Canadians registered for the online conference. 

Full disclosure, it is an affiliate link and any commissions earned will go to my charity the Hamilton Basket Brigade to make sure some poor families in Hamilton will have their best Christmases ever.

Landlord of 75 Properties Retiring From Landlording With Mike Rosehart

/0 Comments/in /by

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

Who says you can’t mix business with pleasure??

This past Friday, I hosted Canada’s youngest retiree to come into the iWIN Hub (my office) to record a podcast, show him Stock Hacking and shot virtual zombies in virtual reality.

This episode was inspired by Mike going on a rant on his Instagram account about his frustration with his real estate: tenant related problems, day to day management of a sizeable portfolio and all its moving parts including property managers and contractors, finding out sex workers were operating out of his short term rentals and related complaints from the neighbours.

Add to that the pandemic and it’s hurt on the tourism, short term rental market and student rental market.

I messaged Mike that I was sorry to hear about his challenges and we started talking about stock hacking so I invited Mike to my office to demonstrate for him the strategy, record this podcast episode, have lunch and since he made the 2 hour trip out from London, I figured we would do something fun that Mike can’t do in London.

I made a couple of suggestions and we settled on Virtual Galaxies, a free roam, virtual reality gaming place in Mississauga.  That’s when the hilarity ensued.

For anyone who knows me, I’m an oversized child and like to joke around. 

The game was zombie apocalypse, we are soldiers armed with virtual guns, we do have a physical game controller shaped like a gun to shoot virtual zombies with. 

If you have seen the movies or TV shows then you know zombies can be aggressive.  The objective is to survive, navigate scenes including walking through buildings to get to a rooftop so a helicopter can come rescue you all in virtual reality.

The game is intense, fully immersive and not for the timid as Jimmy, Mike’s mentee found out when we had to split up and he had to fend off waves of brain-hungry zombies on his own.

His dissatisfaction with being on a team of one… well Jimmy was vocal about it while I was crying laughing. It’s been five days since the experience and I’m still laughing about it!

After much feedback from Mike and I’s mutual friends who have already been through Stock Hacker Academy, he’s going to give it a go as well.

www.stockhackeracademy.ca if you too would like more information about it.

We don’t have any more free demonstrations planned for 2020 but I’ll let you listeners know when we do.  

Mike Rosehart is Canada’s Youngest Early Retiree, an Ivey Business Graduate, Youtube Social Media Influencer, Entrepreneur, and a Real Estate Investor in London, Ontario with an 8-Figure real estate portfolio comprising somewhere around 75 buildings in his career. 

He’s a private lender, a private borrower, dad of two young daughters and he loves to give back and share including gifting out space in his own home to his mentees.

How To Cash Flow $400 Per Month With $10,000 to Invest With Joel Arndt

/1 Comment/in /by

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!

How is everyone this week?

A quick update from these parts, unfortunately with the rising daily cases of COVID in Ontario and the ever increasing restrictions, we at the Hamilton Basket Brigade will not be able to throw our birthday style party for the kids and the families we are supporting. 

I’ve regretfully had to inform both Superman and Wonder Woman their attendance will not be necessary.

The most impoverished families as identified by both the Hamilton public and catholic school boards however still do need our support hence we are delivering to them gift cards of $100 each per family member. 

It’s not much but it’s what we can do and you better believe Cherry and I will continue to focus on growing our wealth hacking: business, investing, and stock hacking so we may grow the funding of our charity. 

We don’t just volunteer and raise money, for 2020, Cherry and I are the #1 donors and we’ll be looking to take over the #1 donor spot in history very shortly.

Shout out to Scott Dillingham and Matt Green for being amazing donors and for making us work for #1.

Practice makes perfect, right? Well no, according to my daughter, she taught us the other night, practice makes progress.

Practice makes perfect describes a finish line but all your wealth hackers know, there is no finish line.  We strive to be 1% better each day or be better than the person we were yesterday, the week or month or year before. 

If you don’t believe me, did you know Tiger Woods did a complete overhaul of his golf swing? After just a few months and winning one in every four tournaments including winning the Masters by 12 strokes, Tiger wasn’t happy and worked with his coach to create a new golf swing. 

That would be the first of a couple times the greatest golfer and one of the greatest athletes of all time would decide his historical dominance of the sport was not enough. He could always improve.

It truly is fascinating to study the super successful. For example, I am asked quite regularly on the benefits of coaching.  To continue with the Tiger Woods example, his first two coaches as a professional golfer are widely consider the #1 and #2 coaches in the sport. 

Don’t worry folks, I’m not offering coaching. I take my work too personally and prefer more control or sometimes lack of control when it comes to my own golf game 😛

How To Cash Flow $400 Per Month With $10,000 to Invest With Joel Arndt

Anyways, this week’s guest is a returning interviewee, Joel Arndt.

When he was on last year, he out of the blue challenged me in my ability to make an investor successful so I had him ask me his questions on the podcast. 

Some time has since passed and I thought it a good time to check in with Joel on his progress.

Full disclosure, Joel now works with Cherry and me in our businesses and like all employees of ours, we teach them to be Wealth Hackers.  We don’t offer pensions but we’ll do our darndest to mentor them to be financially free.

Here is the conversation that came from a simple question when I asked Joel what he would do if he had $150,000 cash to invest.

If you’re interested in real estate investing go to www.infinitywealth.ca or if it’s stock hacking, go to www.stockhackeracademy.ca 

Have you met Joel Arndt!?
