No Excuses, Growing Up Poor, Abused, Failing College, to Real Estate Multi Millionaire with Author Roger Auger

/0 Comments/in /by
Hello iWIN Nation! How are you holding up during these historic times? Please do what you can to spend more time around positive awesome people. Feed yourself inspiring information.  For myself I’m taking some time to myself each day to get lost in my thoughts. I can do so by going for a walk or pacing around my home on rainy days.  My house has a central staircase so I’ll leave a notepad and pen on the dining table so I can pace and stop and make notes 😛 It’s crazy how many good ideas have come to me in these moments to myself.
Health wise I was near my heaviest weight just two weeks ago at 191 pounds, and that’s not muscle. I was getting skinny fat.  Cherry bought herself a scale that I found in our closet, I found it and hopped on it. 191.  This morning I was down nine pounds at 182 after intermittent fasting the last two weeks. My intermittent fasting is simple. I basically don’t eat after dinner and for breakfast I only have coffee with a bit of grass-fed butter, 1-2 tablespoons.  The fat keeps me from being hungry and I’ve been feeling pretty good, but I really can’t wait to get back into the gym. Speaking of gyms, sadly my friend Denise who owns a gym announced this week she is closing her doors.  She is an amazing athlete and an even better trainer. Her energy and passion are something to be witnessed, but even with all that talent, the business didn’t work. I could be wrong, but I think the lesson is to own the real estate one’s business occupies.  The BDC has been very accommodating from my experience, allowing mortgage holders to pay interest only during these extraordinary times. The more control the better, is my saying. It’s why we chose to buy our office location instead of renting. Commercial tenancy laws are heavily in favour of the landlord, so I’m not interested in being in a position of weakness when we can afford to buy. One of the reasons we can afford to buy is because we have a residential real estate portfolio. One of the biggest lessons from this pandemic is the government will support those in need, which includes our tenants so they can make rent.  In a poll of iWIN members, rent collection for June was typical, many reporting 100% collected, but commercial business tenants are having all sorts of problems. And with Prime Minister Trudeau’s announcement that he will extend the CERB, the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit, it looks good for residential real estate investors. Combine that with a hot market for the properties our clients and iWIN members hold, we continue to be really lucky and in great shape to ride this out. Quick update on the stock hacking world, with the US Fed committing even more money to prop up the US economy, many stock hacker students are reporting great results.  Cherry continues to kick my butt and we combined bring in over $4,000 US cash flow per week.  Cherry beat me last week but I have a lead this week so I think the score is 11-2 for Cherry. At the end of the day, I hope you’re all improving your cash flow positions through small business, real estate, stock hacking, bitcoin, I don’t care what as long as you’re making money and making a difference in your community. Speaking of making a difference, we have an author on today’s show, an old friend named Roger Auger. I don’t have a bio for Roger so I’ll read you the description of his new book ‘No Excuses’ available on Amazon:

No Excuses, Growing Up Poor, Abused, Failing College to Real Estate Multi Millionaire with Author Roger Auger

“Deadbeat. Loser. Failure .Criminal. Imagine growing up in a family where those words were meant to be your future. Without loved ones supporting you, would you, too, believe “You’ll never amount to anything?” All around you, right now, there are kids who dream to be great but live without the support or circumstances to do so. Whether you were raised with encouraging parents or you bootstrapped your way on your own, you have the option to give a break to a kid in need. Successful real estate investor and business owner Roger Auger knows firsthand. No Excuses is his story of hustling stolen mac and cheese and paying his parents’ mortgage at age 13, to running a successful real estate empire. Carve out your own path of growth and learn:
  • What life can be like at home for some kids, how to spot a kid without support, and the little things you can do that have a big impact,
  • How hard work can make almost any dream a reality,
  • The pathway to creating a better future through real estate investing—even if you’re a kid who comes from nothing.
  • Why YOU could be the answer to changing someone’s world, just by giving them a chance.
No Excuses gives us hope that the world can be improved one kid at a time. The world doesn’t give you handouts…but with a dose of Roger Auger’s hustle and paying it forward, you could be on your way to success.”

Balling out on Necker Island, Commercial Investing and Lending, New Start Up to Fight Covid19 with Diana House

/0 Comments/in /by
Thank goodness the limits on gatherings are increasing to 10 people on June 12th!  Like many of you, I’m getting a wee bit tired of the lock down.  Especially when my mom who lives in Hong Kong tells me their economy didn’t shut down; restaurants recently increased capacity from 4 per table to 8.  It’s been over one month since a new, local case of Covid was reported.  There are plenty of lessons on how to handle a pandemic.  Places like Korea, Hong Kong, even New Brunswick nailed it.  BC is already going back to school part time. It just sucks to be an entrepreneur, when, like many of you, we chose the entrepreneurial life so no one could tell us what to do and we are now being told what to do.
On the positive side, with all the rioting and violence going on the south of the border, I’m reminded yet again how grateful I am to be Canadian and grateful for stock hacking and real estate.  All are opportunities equally available to anyone no matter the colour of your skin.  As a minority growing up in Canada, my family was one of the early Chinese to come here fleeing Communism. When I was in elementary school, there were three Chinese kids in the whole school.  There was my brother and I plus another Chinese boy who everyone assumed was also my brother. Investing has enabled those considered poor to enter the top 10% and even top 1% and we’ve had many of those folks on this show and we’ll have many many more. The investing community as I know it, is inclusive to all backgrounds and unfortunately a lot of assholes too, but we’ll do our best to only have cool people on this show, including today’s guest in Diana House. Before we get to Diana, a few updates from our parts: For the 2nd time in 11 weeks, I beat Cherry in our weekly stock hacking competition.  It took a personal best by me: a five figure week, all USD in cash return which is great and all, but Cherry still maintains an overall lead of five figures.  It will be tough to catch her in the overall race as we’re both adding to our accounts after our most recent refinance. We successfully refinanced that house that Cherry was mad at me for buying, sight unseen, no conditions, which I do not recommend to beginner and intermediate investors.  This house had a leaky basement, black mold on all foundation walls, and a cockroach infestation. We found a dead mouse in the electrical panel and the whole house was knob and tube electrical: a known fire hazard and because of it’s proximity to a University, no bank would give us A rates.  On top of that, we’re buying with a corporation and we’re a weee bit stretched on credit. In the end, we renovated top to bottom and I’m beyond ecstatic with the 2nd appraisal.  The first appraisal sucked, the second was $40,000 higher after I provided the 2nd appraiser extensive details of the costly renovations plus a quality comparable sale of my choosing 😊. The plan is to reinvest the real estate profits via stock hacking, which is my favourite thing to do, have profits reinvested for more profits, reinvest again two more times, then eventually we can pay for a new pool next year paid for with profits. None of this would have been possible without:  A) Being Canadian and B) Investing in whatever. I don’t care what you invest in, just that you invest and exit the rat race. On to this week’s show! This week we have Diana House!

Starting Investing in the Later Years, Both Stocks and Real Estate And Selfishly Customizing Legal Insurance For the Investor with Victoria Masucci

/0 Comments/in /by
What an interesting time we live in! Remember when you could not get toilet paper? The new metaphorical toilet paper includes many things, things that are hard to buy: I hear in some places flour is hard to come by, tee times for golf, bicycles, and now trampolines.  I’m sure there are tons of other stuffs I’ve left out but the trampoline is my family’s current problem. That and school and summer camps are cancelled.  Hence we’ve been on the hunt for backyard activities, specifically a Springless Trampoline at the recommendation of my friend Gillian Irving who used to own an indoor trampoline park. When Covid first hit, the company had no availability, I assumed it was supply issues, then I found out this week, they had sold out their entire spring season supply. You had to get on a wait list for the fall shipment… This has been the weirdest recession, depression, or as Ben Tal the economist calls it, something in between. There are some who are still spending, e.g. these Spring-free trampolines are all well over $1,000 and for now, you can only now get them used.  Thankfully, Cherry has a client who owns one and is getting rid of it as her kids are closer to university age than kiddie age. We’re supposed to go pick it up tonight as part of our weekly date night.  We’ll romantically eat Chinese take out in our van since there is no dine in option. Oh and I have to take this trampoline apart.  I have trouble assembling IKEA furniture, but this trampoline… I doubt there are instructions. This could be a late night. Quick stock hacking update. Sorry ladies, this gentleman finally broke the streak. I won last week with -$100.  Cherry lost a bit more than I did.  Not a great way to win but investing is not always winning and even though both Cherry and I lost last week, she’s still averaging four figures per week and I’m over $600 USD per week, cash.  Our goal for trading now is to make enough for a pool next year and I hear they’re expensive. Not just the pool but people spend tons on sheds and landscaping… ugh. Life is a money pit.  Thank you everyone who took the time out to send some kind words after hearing about haters posting negative reviews of this podcast on iTunes.  Thank you Dwight, Kory, Kate, Letitia, Andrew, Bill, the list goes on. Thank you Kate who defended my honour by posting her review on iTunes as she took exception to the negative posts and she took the Stock Hacker Academy 2.0 along with 200+ others and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and a significant improvement over the original.   Dwight was kind enough to share how he became intrigued with stocks in February after listening to this podcast, took action, opened a TFSA and has since more than doubled his investment into the six figures. That made my day!  Just like real estate, it’s not for everyone. I do believe anyone and everyone CAN stock hack or invest in real estate, it just may not be their priority right now. On to this week’s show!

  • Very happily married mother of two

Oddly enough we covered all the criticisms in the version 2.0 of the course and we made it available to past students for a whopping $100. And we’re donating a good bunch of that money to support health care workers. Am I all about making sales? Those who know me know the answer.  Not nameless people who go posting online. What these haters and people who don’t know me is I was raised by Asian parents, whatever criticisms the haters have my parents were tougher.  In turn, Cherry and I give our best in everything we do, take responsibility, yada yada.   For example, my new friend Gino from Calgary took the original course in the fall, he’s been trading a while and taken other courses and he was kind enough to share his constructive criticisms with me.  I was all ears. For many business owners, you know it’s often hard to collect feedback whereas Gino was very sharing and I took notes. Now here’s Gino’s feedback on the all new version Stock Hacker Academy 2.0: What a breath a fresh air to hear from someone (Lee Lowell) that approaches his trades in conservative matter and has a plan in place as in how to navigate the market if it starts going against you. I wish I would have known how to implement the rolling strategy a few months ago. I love his thought process when putting in a trade. Example not doing naked puts on stocks over 50 dollars and use spreads on more expensive stocks. Stay out when there are earnings reports. Never gamble with your money. Thanks Lee and I look forward to working with you in the future.

From Back Injury, Flipping Corvettes to Full Time BRRRR Investor with Manny Cabral

I lost money last week.  I lost $1,400 USD Stock Hacking while Cherry turned in another four figure weekly profit. This competition or rather lack of competition is love serving eight.  Terrible for me right? Combined we were still net positive last week ,and well, I made $2,100 on Monday so I’m on track to recover my losses and turn more profits in what has been a great side hustle for Cherry and myself. Especially during these trying times. These trying times have caused some problems in our real estate too.  I’m quite sure the value of our commercial property has gone down since we purchased it in early February and the haters who surprisingly listen to this podcast will be happy about it.  I find it so odd haters would waste their time listening to this podcast and leaving me terrible reviews, thinking I’m all about making money, telling me about their dislike for offering Stock Hacking as an opportunity, as if the stock market is guaranteed to lose one”s money. Whereas past guests of this show, like best selling authors Lee Lowell and Derek Foster, both have financial freedom from stock hacking and own virtually no real estate besides their homes.  If someone has success in the world of money making, I’m all for hearing more about it. As you long time listeners know we’ve had past guests in ecommerce and cryptocurrency.  A friend of mine who has a TV show shared with me he disabled all ability to comment on his content as he too doesn’t like reading negative feedback. I’m honestly the same, even though some of the negative posts are baseless. Here’s what I mean. This is an example of someone who was pretty grateful to learn stock hacking, especially in the midst of crazy meltdown. For a bit of context, after the market correction, I know a bunch of my friends who took the original course did not fair well during the correction. No different than many investors, including myself, as well as the top investors in the world.  So we offered all past students to retake the all new 2.0 version of Stock Hacker Academy for $100. Here’s what one student messaged me after taking the course a 2nd time.
“Man, you have no idea how much this means to everyone learning this. It’s literally something we’ll all be doing until the very end and will benefit our families. My premiums right now are helping my parents who have lost their jobs because of Covid.  Many many thanks.”
At the end of the day, those who put in the work will be the most successful. I know hundreds of people who lost money in real estate. I have too, but my clients and I have made a whole lot more money to make up for the losses.  It’s why I ask guests about what works and what doesn’t, so we as a community may rise up and create better futures for ourselves, our families and communities we live in. Speaking of supporting our communities, there are sectors of our local economies that are really suffering, restaurants, services, and tourism.  If you’re able too, they could really use our patronage. Emma’s Back Porch in my own city just announced that, after 30 years, they are closing. Same with Crocodile Rock in downtown Toronto.  I really hope those business owners also own the real estate they are located in.  The former is right on the lake, Crocodile Rock is downtown.  There is a chance owning the real estate is a better investment than operating the business. As a friendly reminder, that’s McDonald’s real business. Even though they’re a burger chain restaurant, they own most of the real estate their restaurants occupy and they often have great locations while they collect rent from the franchisees.

From Back Injury, Flipping Corvettes to Full Time BRRRR Investor with Manny Cabral

On to this week’s guest, my friend, client, iWIN member, real estate investor, Captain Manny Cabral.  He’s a great guy, for years he owned and operated a large scale construction company that even took on government contracts.  One day Manny hurt his back and got a desk job running a car dealership.  Manny loves cars and he’s got some good stories to share as he turned his passion into a successful side hustle importing luxury sports cars. Manny eventually made the leap to leave his great job to be full time in contracting and investing in real estate.  What I really enjoy about Manny’s application of buying private sales is  he doesn’t squeeze the seller for every last dime and instead shares what price he needs for the deal to make sense, for the work and risk he’s assuming. So without further ado, I give you Manny Cabral of Simcoe House Buyers.

Serial Investor, Ultimate Side Hustler, Real Estate Coach Tim Hong

/0 Comments/in /by
Happy belated mothers’ day and shout out to the dads pulling double duty! My own mom came to Canada on a student VISA when she was 17 with my dad to finish High School at Jarvis Collegiate in downtown Toronto, a really bad area back then as they didn’t have parents here to give them guidance.  My earliest memories are of living in Scarborough, Ontario in a small 1.5 storey house, again in a bad neighbourhood near a bunch of government housing. I’ll never forget the day my brother’s classmate ripped his Optimus Prime Transformer toy out of his hands after school. He had brought the toy for show and tell. The Principal wouldn’t do anything about it because it was done off school property.   This was a house my parents could only afford with THREE mortgages with interest rates in the teens.  To make ends meet while my dad was finishing university, mom operated an unofficial bed and breakfast out of our home.  She would rent out rooms in our home to friends of friends and make them breakfast in the morning.  The original AirBnb.  Only now that I’m a parent trying to do right by my kids, getting them to eat their vegetables, not waste food, cleaning up after them (mind you I have a full time nanny), do I fully appreciate what mom did in raising us at a much younger age, with a lot less resources then Cherry and I have.  I was 12 years older than my mom when we had our daughter, I owned a house plus a couple investment properties and a successful, award winning Realtor business. I have much to be grateful for with the mom I got so thank you mom and again, happy Mother’s Day to all the wealth hacking moms. Update on the Cherry vs. Erwin stock hacking competition or rather lack of competition. Cherry eked out $1,600 USD victory.  That’s how much she beat me by, not her one week return.  I had a low four figure week, a great week but yeah. The score is now 8-0. Because business for both of us is slower with less appointments we are partaking in what I call Corona trading which just means I am trading a couple hours per day, more than we normally would to take advantage of the current market conditions.  We won’t stay at this pace forever, but it’s great to have this added source of cash flow.  And this is cash flow, the returns I’m sharing are realized gains and are cash.

Serial Investor, Ultimate Side Hustler, Real Estate Coach Tim Hong

On the real estate front, can we stand down the red alert on real estate? Not to say challenges are not ahead, but much more is known now about the problems we as real estate investors face compared to two months ago, pre-march break. Commercial is a sore spot, both residential and non residential.  Student rentals will be a challenge as McGill and UBC announced many classes will be online.  What that means for our student tenants remains to be seen as many programs require labs, group work, in hospital rotations, etc… For tenants who are looking to rent something, the timing couldn’t be much better.  Same for those who have cash and credit to buy.  There will always be opportunities for some, so take advantage while you can.  For example, I have a family member looking to sell a starter home in the suburbs and buy a bigger condo downtown Toronto.  The timing could not be better.  Again, opportunity will always come to those who know where to find it. Speaking of chasing opportunities, we have a legit wealth hacker as our guest on this week’s show – Tim Hong. Tim house hacked his first home, a 2+1 bedroom condo by renting out 1+1 bedrooms to students as his first taste of investing in real estate. Then he did rent to owns, bought an apartment building, invested in student rentals, then got licensed in real estate. Now Tim coaches investors, started a property management business, had a tenant offer non monetary rent compensation (I’ll let Tim explain that), and Tim has been trading foreign exchange currencies for 5+ years.  How’s that for a wealth hacker? I’ve also convinced Tim to do some stock hacking with his TFSA’s 😊.  If there is an efficient means to make income, Tim is into it. Tim is also a coach on my team at IWIN Real Estate and has been with me since I can’t remember, maybe 2012? It’s been a long time and without further ado, I give you Tim Hong.

Private Lending Update with Susan Flanagan

/0 Comments/in /by
Hello my fellow awesome Wealth Hackers! I hope you’re all staying safe and doing your thing to make cash flow and income no matter the situation.  For anyone keeping score at home, Cherry beat me again last week by about $1,600 US in our weekly stock hacking challenge.  Elon Musk and his big twitter mouth got me and cost me a bunch of my profits. Cherry shook it off and continues to lead 7 weeks to nothing… For you ladies listening please know this isn’t just for men.  For the men listening, Cherry and I are happy to hear you are encouraging your lady partners to stock hack. Wealth Hacking has always been about multiple streams of income and I’m so lucky that Cherry was willing to learn and practice stock hacking.  We thought me doing this would be enough, no need to double our efforts, but this has worked out wonderfully for our family and we hope it does for you too. I don’t even have anything to sell you in regards to Stock Hacking as we won’t run another course till the fall. In less exciting news, I let my kid cut my hair on Friday.  Cherry was sick of it but she wouldn’t let the kids shave my hair into a mohawk.  The kids had fun till they got bored and Cherry took over and shaved my head fully.  She says I look like a new man. For me, this is my first shaved hair job as confirmed by my mom, so it’s a new experience for me and I own a bunch of cool hats anyways 😛 I haven’t unveiled my hair cut on social media yet but I have a free training to host tonight on the subject of the #1 investment strategy: legal basement apartments.  Now I can’t wear a hat in a professional setting so I guess this will be the first public unveiling.  The training is conducted online via Zoom since we must respect social distancing, but I can’t wait to host classes and meetings in our new offices once it’s safe to do so. I do miss the interaction, sharing and networking that goes on in person. If you haven’t attended our free training, well that’s just silly. When done wrong, the costs are massive, we had a client who against our advice, brought with him his contractor team from out of town and he was never able to legalize his suite.  This is the only client who went against our advice and the only client we have who’s been unable to win using this strategy vs. the dozens and dozens of other happy clients we have with legal basement apartments.  Even in these challenging times, I only have one tenant who can’t make rent.  You bet I’m glad I have mostly legal basements and student rentals and got rid of my AirBnb last year.   My rents are going up and prices in my market still manage to be up 5% over this time last year. For more information on our free training class, go to: https://www.investortraining.ca/freeclass  On to this week’s show!

Investor Greater GTA Market Update With A Whole Bunch of Awesome Realtors

/0 Comments/in /by
Hello my fellow Wealth Hackers!! I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy in every way! Yesterday we shaved my son’s head as it was getting a bit long.  He’s got nothing on his dad as my hair hasn’t been this long since I was in high school as an avid Metallica fan.  I had shoulder length hair back in those days. I posted a picture on Facebook asking what my friends think I should do: grow it long or shave it all off. I confirmed with my mom, I’ve never had a shaved head before. I know, to my memory, I haven’t shaved my head, but I wanted to confirm with my pre-memory days, pre-bowl cuts by my mom in our kitchen.  Literally a bowl cut, a steel bowl on my head to guide her scissors.  I was definitely the coolest kid in school with a bowl cut and barely speaking English.  My how far we have come…. We just hosted the all new Stock Hacker Academy to over 200 students this past weekend.  As always, we are looking to improve over each and every event and this was no different.  Thank you all for the kind words and feedback from both the new students and past students back for a refresher.  With over 400 students who went through the original program, we had loads of feedback from before which we implemented this past weekend and for the rest of the program.  It was a ton of work, but really rewarding. I’m recording this on Wednesday and I’m only starting to feel recovered. LOL. Thankfully, it’s another winning week of trading while at home for both Cherry. It keeps us busy and we have fun.  For anyone keeping score, Cherry is beating me at trading 6 weeks to nothing. We are close this week but we will see. Real estate wise, not much to update, we had a fridge die in one of our rentals. This was from our executive rental in Etobicoke, west of Toronto.  These tenants rarely call since the house is newer so Cherry “manages” it if you can call it that.  The phone call comes in, our first suspicion is it’s a problem in paying rent but no, it’s just the fridge.  In the grand scheme of things, the new fridge costs a lot less than one month’s rent.  Our tenants are super grateful for a new fridge and missing having adult conversations as they chatted Cherry’s ear off.  Having a great, low maintenance property with a low maintenance tenant with the income like a doctor makes this business a pleasure. On to this week’s show!

Investor Greater GTA Market Update With A Whole Bunch of Awesome Realtors

As a real estate nerd, I enjoy reviewing real estate market stats. However, we wealth hackers know, the stats are great for general consumption, but none of us are investing in average real estate and the smart money invests in investment grade real estate.  This is why I reached out to some of the best Investor agents I know in the top markets for investing just outside the GTA since we all focus primarily on cash flow. On this market update show, we have agents from east to west; Justin Konikow of Prime Real Estate in London, Rob Break who works the same real estate brokerage I do, Rock Star Real Estate, all the way from the East in Durham and Peterborough. Most of you know him from the Break Through Podcast. To the great white north of Barrie, we have John Beddome. Representing Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, from my own iWIN Real Estate Team, Tim Hong. And finally, the duplex queen, from Hamilton, Tammy Ditomaso. To me, this episode is a special treat as these are the agents I call when I want to know what’s happening on the street in regards to real estate for investors.  There is a lot of fear out there which is why I brought this group together to update you all on what’s happening on the front lines of real estate and property management. I hope you enjoy the show!  Without further ado, I give you Justin, John, Rob, Tim and Tammy!

Financial Planning For The Recession with Kathleen van den Berg

/0 Comments/in /by
My first home work out didn’t go well.  My head was hurting, I was sucking wind, I had to take a seat on the curb while Cherry ran past me several times and completed the whole workout.  I only completed 40% of the workout which is really less than 20% of the workout since all the benefits are at the end when it’s most challenging. This was three weeks ago after My 41st birthday had just passed. I love my wife and kids very much, it was just surreal to spend it without the rest of my friends and family. Normally I don’t drink at all but when this whole social distancing thing started, I’d have a drink each night, everyone else was doing it so why not indulge, it’s my birthday two-week period after all.  At least that’s the excuse I was telling myself. Then the workout, a chilly sunny day at Cherry’s suggestion.  Really it was more like she wanted to workout, suited up and walked out the door.  She’s a leader by example. We were doing planks, burpees, kettlebells, running etc… then I gave up and did not finish.  I can still count on two hands how many workouts I have not completed. The thought of giving up crosses my mind every workout, but since starting Crossfit, I’ve not finished under ten times, each time my body gave up before my mind. Looking back this was no different, but at the time, thoughts raced through my mind about what went wrong, asking questions: how was my diet, my sleep, how much I’d been drinking? This was my bottom, while on my hands and knees trying to catch my breath, I vowed, no more drinking, this is over. Fast forward to this week, I redid the workout that humbled me, I completed the whole thing at a reasonable pace and even beat Cherry at something for once.  On the weekend while strolling with the kids we stopped in front of our local Play It Again Sports store, they wisely lined up all their home gym products in front of the window.  Cherry called and ordered us more equipment and the store owner of course was grateful to do some business. Support you local businesses! One of my biggest takeaways from this period is how grateful I am for Cherry.  She’s my rock, my partner in all areas of my life, my accountability partner, we talk Stock Hacking, investing, marketing etc, and thanks to Covid19, she’s home more often to have dinner together as a family. Here are some updates from our investing! Our office is now painted, the same office we are calling the Wealth Hacker Hub and future meetup space for Stock Hacker Academy students.  Hopefully it will be ready to host our friends and clients as soon as restrictions are lifted. We’ve only had two of our 30 tenants not be able to pay rent for April, they just happened to be in the same property, a house with a legal basement apartment so we deferred that mortgage. While driving this weekend I noticed the we haven’t used much gas this month.  Not even half a tank in two weeks all the while our other car hasn’t moved in weeks while parked in the garage. With all of our appointments moved online, I called my car insurance company to reduce my insurance to a parked car and they did it no problem.  Sweet! Saving money! With all this extra time on our hands, Cherry and I have been Stock Hacking a lot more. Quick update, Cherry continues to cream me. It’s either 4 – 0 or 5 – 0. We’re going to have to stop tracking this soon.  She made a couple thousand US yesterday so no contest, she’ll win this week again. For those who remember Adriano the electrician, he’s not working either so he’s making a couple thousand each day stock hacking as well. I spoke to him on the phone just now, he says trading is a life saver. I asked him to think if this was ten years ago and the virus hit and he didn’t have his stock hacking skills.  Yeah, life wouldn’t be so good and Adriano wouldn’t be his usual cheerful self. We were actually able to convince our skeptical, mutual friend Chris Zavarise of Hamilton, Ontario.  Chris is one of my general contractors and while renovating one of my properties, hired Adriano for the knob and tube replacement.  That’s how I met Adriano about four years ago. Chris now is loving Stock Hacking too, we couldn’t convince him to buy real estate but Chris likes this and is up 21% since he took the December class last year.  He does it all from his cellphone. That is how we roll, have something great to share and we share it to our friends and family.  Which is why we are proud to offer you all Stock Hacker Academy 2.0. With all the Grant Cardone stuff we’ve done recently I tell my friends it should really be 10.0 because we are now partnered with Lee Lowell who will be teaching his four required strategies to maximize your return on investment after we hit the bottom of the stock market. If you don’t know how to time the market or what stocks to pick and how to trade? We’ve got you covered as part of this program. Students will receive Lee’s newsletter that he’s been writing for the last 15 years in plain English, detailed instructions on his trades so anyone can Stock Hack like an ex floor trader of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Wall St. in the financial capital of the world. https://www.stockhackeracademy.ca/specialoffer Discounted pricing ends April 23rd and the program begins April 25th, live streamed to your home. We’re all stuck at home, may as well learn how to make money from home.

Financial Planning For The Recession with Kathleen van den Berg

On to this week’s guest: Kathleen van den Berg, MBA, CLU, CFP. I think she’s great because she’s one of the rare Certified Financial Planners who recommends owning real estate and she owns a fair amount of real estate too.  I invited Kathleen to come on the show, asking her to share what advice she has for her clients during these historic times. 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.

🚨Emergency Series EP3🚨 Stock Market Update w Best Selling Author, Godfather of Stock Options Lee Lowell

/0 Comments/in /by
Hello Wealth Hackers!! As you may know, I was dabbling in stock options and had a lot of early success. So I took a deeper dive, hired a coach who in turn is my stock hacking mentor as he loves to share and teach me outside of my coaching time.  He was an ex-Wall Street options pit trader for seven years. He left the pit and moved to Hawaii to trade from his home in paradise. Now he has been trading full time for 30 years. He’s the best selling author of “Get Rich With Options,” known also as the “Godfather of Stock Options”, Lee Lowell.  His book was required reading for the original Stock Hacker Academy before attending the course. He literally wrote the book on the subject that became foundational reference material for all past and future Stock Hackers.

No contact delivered and donated these respiratory masks for Chinese health care workers to local 🇨🇦Canadian front line health care workers. . Keep our local health care workers and their families safe!! I ordered mine from here: Www.yoursafetysupplystore.com from a new friend, a fellow Western (Ivey) grad. . For those questioning my donation: I specify Chinese because when I ordered them two weeks ago, these were not certified for use by North American health care workers till just a few days ago. These are KN95, not N95. . As they were not sold for Canadian use direct from China these never would have made it into 🇨🇦Canadian health care workers hands. Cherry and I went out of our way to pay about 6X more for these so as to not impede local 🇨🇦Canadian supply. So please don’t @ me with unresearched opinions. I was already hesitant to share with the ignorant comments I received on another group. . Yes I paid a lot and I’m fine with that if that means more health care workers can stay in the fight longer. Not all heroes wear capes but theyre all wearing masks these days.

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto) on

It only made logical sense we partner with Lee to bring all you Wealth Hackers the all new Stock Hacker Academy version 2.0!!

To register go to  www.stockhackeracademy.ca/specialoffer.

All the details are there and prices go up April 23rd so don’t delay. The timing couldn’t be any better as Lee predicts the bottom of the stock market at only a few weeks away. Needless to say, my Stock Hacking game has improved 10X. The skills I’ve learned let me use strategies that I’ve refined while dialing down my risk.  Lee loves to teach and share his experience and he’s invested through THREE major economic meltdowns and recoveries before the Covid19 related correction we’re in now. I honestly don’t know anyone I’d rather learn from right now. In real estate, I’ve always said, a real estate expert has invested through a full cycle.  I’ve been through the credit crisis 12 years ago. Lee has been through THREE economic cycles, hence his experience in managing risk through the current down turn and how to maximize returns during the eventual recovery has me beyond excited to maximize returns during this recession. Yes, I love real estate. It’s the best investment in the world, however, the stock market dropped by close to a third and the real estate market in my target areas are on pause as physical showings and open houses have virtually stopped.  Personally, I’m taking this social distancing time to learn a new skill that will make me money from home. We’re all stuck at home anyways, may as well learn how to maximize returns while we’re here. I can’t even mow the lawn at my investment property right now if I wanted to.  As always, I love learning something new and sharing, especially with stock prices being so cheap right now and I’m beyond excited to announce the all new Stock Hacker Academy version 2.0 in partnership with Lee Lowell. The course is entirely rebuilt from scratch in my vision. I’ve taken in all the feedback and lessons from the first course and 10X’d the new 12 month program in order to give our students the highest probability of success. This isn’t for everyone. Those who want to learn and are willing to commit to practicing will succeed. Lee and I are here to provide the education.  Only those willing should enroll, but knowing many of you came a long way in your real estate journeys, Stock Hacking is a brilliant complement. My wife Cherry and I are trading HELOC money from our investment properties.  All you need to do is take the course and own a smart phone. As part of the 12 month program you get:
  • A two day live streamed course with Lee Lowell
  • All the recordings so you may re-watch whenever you want
  • Eight weeks of webinars where Lee will continue to teach new strategies and take your questions.
  • Lee’s Newsletter that he’s been writing for 15 years (I’m a paid subscriber and it’s truly excellent, the writing is in plain English, Lee is transparent with his trades). You can really tell he cares about his subscribers and has the skill and experience to limit our risks.
  • Monthly meetups at my offices for the year. I (Erwin) love to network and share, in person is best so we can all network with like minded Stock Hackers, look over the shoulder of a fellow stock hacker to get help, ask your questions live and in person.  Nothing beats in person meetings.
  • Private online support group. We have months of questions and answers and interviews with Derek and Lee posted there. Stay in touch with your community 24/7!!
  • Quick Start Guide my team designed for Stock Hacking purposes! We will take weeks off your learning curve using the mobile app!!
The timing really couldn’t get better, the market is down around 20% and we have other opportunities right now! The real estate market is on pause till the virus goes away. Private lending rates don’t interest me when I can stock hack high yield dividend paying companies. Some of my favourite stocks are cash flowing via dividends of 7-10% with equity upside. Why would I private lend? We’ll cover this too in the course.  We’re all stuck at home anyways so may as well learn a side hustle that requires little time and effort.   To register it’s www.stockhackeracademy.ca/specialoffer You’re stuck at home anyways, may as well learn how to make money from home and the timing couldn’t be better with the bottom of the market only weeks away.  The last correction was 12 years ago, don’t wait another 12 years for the next opportunity. www.stockhackeracademy.ca/specialoffer By the way, speaking of the Godfather of Stock Options, I proudly present to you my mentor, best selling author of “Get Rich With Options,” Lee Lowell.
