Weekends are for family!

Cherry and I try to do all our business and invest during work hours, so we don’t take away from time with the kids.

We still work a couple of weeknights and Saturdays, but we try to limit our commitments. It’s not easy, nor cheap if you saw the size of our payroll, but it is by design. We could make more money with less staff, but we’d have to sacrifice more of our time.

This is why investing is so great. 

Our real estate portfolio is doing its thing… We plan to close on our newly acquired office space at month-end. Then, the six-figure reno begins and hopefully wraps up two months after. Otherwise, our investments are just cruising!

I was chatting with one of my earliest clients this week, and I asked them, “what if your portfolio only went up 5% per year?”

Their portfolio is worth about $9 million, so 5% is a $450,000 increase in net worth every year! Not bad, eh? 

So how hard do you have to work if your net worth goes up to mid-six figures each year? Is there a savings plan or investment strategy, or pension that comes anywhere near that? 

The truth is, these investment portfolios don’t happen overnight… Rather, it’s a collection of making the right investments over ten years. We teach all these best practices and the #1 investment strategy in our FREE Real Estate training class.

How do I know what the #1 investment strategy is?

Well, I mastermind with some of the top real estate investors in Canada. I’ve had even more of them, including best-selling authors on this podcast. Plus, my wife is the Accountant to many of those same top investors, so we know exactly what works.

If you or anyone you care about wants financial security, simply go to www.investortraining.ca/podcast and register for our next free class. 

We will share details on how to execute on the best investment properties with the least headaches… So you, too, may get back to spending more time with your family and friends.

Speaking of more family time, my old friends Rich and Christina Danby are our guests on the show.

They built up their real estate business and portfolio, so they are working way less than before… Successfully reducing their working weeks to 20-30 hours per week!

Their priorities now include spending more time on their kids’ interests… Like horseback riding, hockey, piano lessons and football.

20 Hour Work Weeks, 60+ Properties, Buying Back One’s Time, Easy Flipping With Christina and Rich Danby

On today’s show, they share how they did it: systemizing, hiring, outsourcing, and delegating to buy back their time... while still being active house flippers.

The Danby’s share their unique flipping strategy where if the renovation exceeds a $30,000 budget, they won’t do it. This is very opposite of the BRRR strategy everyone is talking about these days.

Why should you listen to them, though? 

Well, I and the Danby’s go way back, and not much has changed. 

Rich has won many awards. He’s a regular speaker at several real estate networks, and he coaches investors. He was also President of Ottawa Real Estate Investors Organization (OREIO) for a couple of years.

Together they’ve only bought 60+ properties and used every strategy under the sun! Other than real estate, they’ve also owned a Pizzeria and a staging/construction company. Christina is also a Realtor… and Rich started a painting company during the pandemic, which is in big demand these days.

Please enjoy the show.

We’re hiring!

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

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

Can we do away with daylight savings already? I mean I wake up in the dark and drive home in the dark…. At least we can walk our kids to school in the light..

I hope you’re all adjusting better than I am.  I made the mistake of going out Friday night till the early hours of the morning for a guys night with my Hambundance group.

You read that right, my real estate buddies group is called Hambundance, a word mash up of Hamilton and Abundance.  It’s a play off of the elite mastermind group called Gobundance I was too cheap to join lol.

So my buddy Charles Wah and I formed Hambundance with a group of successful real estate investors like James Money Baggs Maggs, Andy Tran, Roger Auger, Kevin my mortgage guy, a builder, and another of my most successful clients John.

We try and meet once per quarter for 24 hours of fun.  The Friday started with Pew Pew, an indoor shooting facility with airsoft guns so we’d move through obstacles shooting targets while being timed.  With a group of competitive A types, that’s a lot of fun.  Thankfully no one got shot like last time when we were in Vegas.

Next is the commute to dinner because getting around downtown Toronto takes forever like it always has.  We dined at a restaurant known for serving game meats called Antler.  They got famous because as a tongue in cheek joke, on their side walk chalk sign they posted “Venison: the new Kale.”

Well animal rights groups did not think that was funny then proceeded to protest outside the restaurant on weekends which made the news internationally.  The owner of the restaurant was even invited on the Joe Rogan podcast to share his story and ever since, celebrities from all over the world stop in to support Antler.

We didn’t see any celebrities but we ate like them when considering the size of the bill afterwards.  I had the elk tartare and venison ribeye which tasted nothing like Kale.

From there it was drinks at one of our friend’s condo, then a roof top restaurant with the CN Tower in the background.

Needless to say the day and night were legendary and while pricey, still a business expense for me since we were talking real estate all night. 

While standing on the roof top on the patio with Andy Tran I couldn’t help but think how much things have changed and how much hasn’t since Andy and I first stood on a roof together.

The year was 2010, Andy the house buyer was inspecting a bungalow he had purchased conditionally on inspection. I was a new agent and keen to learn, I followed the home inspector Andy up the ladder onto the roof while dressed business casual and dress shoes.

Andy looks at me standing there on the roof as if I had two heads.  I ask “what?” 

Andy shares that in 1,200 home inspections, I was only the 2nd agent to ever get on the roof with him at a home inspection.  That was over ten years ago standing on a bungalow he bought for just over $200,000 that is now worth about 4 times…. I’m a good agent…

Fast forward to today, we both have more laugh lines and grey hair, while sipping ridiculously expensive drinks at one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city.

Life can be good and it’s even better with like minded, good friends.

We started from the bottom together and now we are here.

I hope you all take the opportunity to grab some friends for a good time but maybe get more sleep than I did.

Top Coach Elizabeth Kelly Shares Lessons from having taught 1,000s of investors

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On to this week’s show!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We’re hiring!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another common reason not to invest is to avoid debt. 

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

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

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

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

A month later, Joe had his first investment property. 

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

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

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

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

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

Please enjoy the show!

Who knew Canada was so awesome!?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lessons from 500+ Rent To Owns With Rachel Oliver

On to this week’s show!

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

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

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

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

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

I hope you enjoy the show!

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
