Lessons From 200 Episodes With The iWIN Real Estate Team

Welcome to the 200th episode of the Truth About Real Estate Show for Canadians! 🎉

It’s been an amazing run!

What started as a six-episode experiment back in early 2016, we managed to do something right, and here we are at 200 episodes!

I’ll start by explaining a lie I tell on the show: we have a few more than 17 listeners. 😃

Based on some of the stats I’ve looked up over the years, this podcast ranked 88th in the Business category in all of iTunes, this is a top 1% podcast in the world of podcasts, and we’ve ranked within the top three Canadian podcasts a couple of times.

I’ve even had a big-time podcast producer that works with publicly traded companies audit our show, and he was beyond impressed with our stats, sharing with me that our listening time was 2-3 times greater than that of his clients.

I tell this lie because the truth about real estate investing is that not all real estate investors want the attention and/or fear public speaking. So, if no one’s listening, there’s nothing to fear, right?

But some of you are listening, and I want to thank you for being our listener or watcher on YouTube.

Oh, by the way, a few months ago, we hired a fancy TV producer; hence you’ll notice our audio and video production has improved. Our videos are, of course, posted to YouTube at The Truth About Real Estate Investing.

Anyways, as the pandemic is winding down and you real estate investors, including our hundreds of investor clients, have benefited heavily from investing in land-based real estate.

No one could have predicted prices would go up like crazy as they have, but if you’ve followed the show, then you know all signs pointed that way, so I want to thank you for listening and taking action.

It has and always will be my honour to give back, share what I’ve learnt and continue to learn from our expert guests on this show.

I’m grateful to have this platform to pull together leading experts, especially as the pandemic started and our community was uneasy. We had to talk some investors off a ledge from selling out of fear.

Thankfully, things worked out, and they’ve added several hundreds of thousands of dollars to their net worth and financial peace.

To celebrate 200 episodes, I have my real estate team because they’re the ones who got us here, to share some lessons from the last five years and 200 episodes.

Five years is a milestone as we all have five year goals, and the team is here to share some investor stories from the last five years.

So with our biggest podcast in history in terms of people on the show, we have:

Tammy “the Duplex Queen” Ditomaso
James “Money Baggs” Maggs
Tim “Clap Back” Hong. Tim is Clap Back as he has the wittiest comebacks.
Joel Arndt, and
Chris “The Captain” Hook

Special mention to Meaghan Robidas, who has been my Operations Manager for the last 7 years. Although she’s too shy to come on the show, that does not discount the importance she has in our success.

If you’re not sure what you can accomplish over the next five years or my 200 episodes, this episode will inspire some ideas.

Want to be a top 1% podcast? Host your own event to 1,600 people? Own 10 or more investment properties? It’s all possible!

It starts with the guts to do it, then the know-how and surrounding yourself with positive people. And I’ll always be here cheering for you. 😊

We’re hiring!

Just a friendly reminder that we are hiring for 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.

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
