Creating a Pension in 4 Years vs 40 Years
Hello Investors!!
While behind the scenes, we had some bumps along the way but we couldn’t be happier with the result of the inaugural Halton Real Estate Investors Group meeting this past Saturday. Even the weather wanted to compete with us for attendees with the sunny skies and 30+ degree weather yet almost 80, fully caffeinated, keen and alert real estate investors packed our room at Sheridan College and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support.
Keynote speaker Donato Cascioli shared some very personal stories on how he overcame adversity as a poor student and college drop out to become the highly successful land developer that he is today. For the last three weeks, I’ve been updating my vision board. I’m collecting images of stuffs using the Google, using a collage app on my mac called CollageIt 3, then I’ll put it on USB to print at Staples and laminate to put on my wall near my bed so I see it before bed and when I wake. This was a tip I picked up from Daymond John of Shark Tank. If you heard how powerful goal setting was for Donato than I’m sure you’re doing the same.
Thank you everyone for the feedback, I read it all and am grateful to for the friends and team members who presented on Saturday. One attendee emailed me this morning, “I really enjoyed the Halton REI club meeting this weekend. So much amazing info. I’m also an avid listener and fan of the podcast. Great job! I love your market and economics based approach.”
Thank to Coaches Tim and Erika for sharing whats happening in target investment markets from Mississauga to Niagara. Thank you to our sponsors Auger Properties and Alan Lo of Pinnacle Wealth Brokers.
Creating a Pension in 4 Years vs 40 Years
This week I’m excited to bring to you my friend and client Kaush Nanubhai (pronounced Koh-shh Na-new-bye) who started off buying condos in downtown Toronto as a young professional Accountant as he described buying a condo better use of his disposable income than drinking and partying. Many years later and having bigger goals in mind including more income and improved lifestyle, he’s now built himself a sizeable portfolio now at 11 investment properties, acquiring eight of them in the last four years with plans and joint venture partners for many more. Learn about what Kaush wishes he could go back and do over, what drives an already successful professional like Kaush to do even more, how he’s created more time for what’s important, time with family and taking care of his health. Kaush invests in student rentals and legal basement suites in Hamilton, St Catharines, Welland, and Niagara On the Lake.To get in touch with Kaush, email is best: knanubhai@gmail.com

This week I’m excited to bring to you the return of Charles Wah, you might remember him from our land development interview six months ago and he’s fresh off the set of Scott McGilvray’s newest show to give you all an update on his land development projects and the new investments and building development projects he has on the go. We’ll take a sneak peak at the behind the scenes of HGTV’s biggest star, how Charles spends his off time, and we will share our thought’s and lessons from the phenomenal Archangel Summit. It was so good, we already purchased our VIP tickets for the Archangel Summit in September 2018. You want to know WHY this super successful and very young investor does what he does? Then have a listen….
Who wants to golf?! Not me. Swinging golf clubs is tough on my shoulders as it’s repetitive, I swing way too hard, and I have no technique. It all started when John from podcast episode 6-years-part-time-and-600k-in-returns reached out asking if I wanted to golf and I responded, let’s do something fun instead. The somewhat local gun club (Silverdale Gun Club) had a special on a sniper rifle package and that’s what we did on a Friday afternoon at the gun club. We shot a couple rounds with an AR15, SKS, Remington 700, and the big daddy of them all, BMG 50 which weighed in at 34 lbs and each additional bullet would cost us $15 per. Don’t worry if the gun names mean nothing to you. I have no idea either, this was only my third time ever holding a gun in five years…. Our instructor Eric was patient and excellent and the gang agreed, it was better than playing 18 holes. We all had fun but make no mistake, the afternoon was a productive one because everyone one in attendance is an active investor with numerous properties and leaders in their fields. When you spend time with like minded people, you are guaranteed success. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
We are also moving our meetings to a new location: we’ve out grown the Rock Star Office’s training room, though we loved the price and convenience, we could use more space for comfort and to allow more attendees as in the past, we’ve had to wait list and turn away people. We want everyone to have a chance at financial freedom so we are relocating to the Sheridan College’s Conference Centre located at 1410 Trafalgar Rd, Oakville, ON, just north of the QEW.
I am super proud of my little cousin Christopher, here I am wearing his Timmy’s visor. He’s not really little anymore as he just turned 17 but he did get a summer job at Tim Hortons. He’s still in training but the plan is he’ll keep working when he’s back to school to save up money for a car. Christopher is crazy passionate about all vehicles: tanks, planes, trains, cars, bikes. I seriously ask for his advice when buying cars but I have to temper his preferences as he seems to think I operate without a budget. I don’t need a BMW M3 or M5, I don’t care about the extra 2-300 horsepower, I care about my monthly payments and how much of my lease is tax deductible

We’ve had guests in the past from the other side of the country. Don Campbell, who resides in British Columbia, Pierre Paul Turgeon, who’s from Alberta. This week our guest, Andy Tran, is on the other side of the world in Japan, visiting his wife’s family. I’ve been friends with Andy since 2009, when we met at a mutual friend’s birthday and ran into each other again at REIN. Andy was one of my first clients, as I helped him purchase investment properties in Hamilton back in 2010, but now the tables have turned as I have hired Andy to prepare my investment property for a legal basement suite conversion. As always, I believe in hiring the best to work on my business and it just so happens that Andy is a leading expert in accessory apartments in the golden horseshoe of Ontario. Andy is guiding me and my property through the city’s permit process including building code, certified drawings, working with the city’s planners and inspectors etc… stuff that I neither enjoy nor have time for.
