This week’s guest Carmen Da Silva, a Canadian who lives full time in Florida who knows a lot about investing for cash flow in the USA. Carmen Da Silva (CFO & Co-Founder of SHARE) is a CPA in both Canada and the USA. She articled with Price Waterhouse Cooper specializing in corporate and cross-border tax. Carmen built an insurance platform that allows boutique investment brokers to sell tax-sheltered insurance using Family Office Teams. She generated in excess of 500M AUM in just 5 years, sold it, and bought 25 single family homes in 2008 for early retirement. She has significant firsthand experience in U.S. Single Family Rentals (SFR) and has always recommend direct ownership in US real estate to her Accounting clients including her own children. Carmen’s 25 year old son already owns two rental houses in the US.
Currently, Carmen is passionate about combining Ai, technology and real estate investing to make US income properties accessible to everyday investors, not just the ultra wealthy and multi-billion dollar institutional investors currently gobbling up all the income properties.
In my experience, it’s rare for Financial Planners and Accountants to recommend and own so much real estate so for you my 17 listeners, you’re in for a special treat.
We can only cover so much in a 60 minute interview so if you would like to learn more about US income property investing, Carmen and her team will be presenting at our US Investing Workshop on the morning of Saturday January 13th. We will cover what the investment looks like, the numbers, corporate structures and Accounting, Financing, property management, as much as we can in a morning.
Of note, we are teaching direct investment as in the investor owns the property 100%. That is the definition of direct investment. No shares, no joint venture partners, not private lending. Good old fashioned income property ownership, in-line with how client 350+ clients and I invest in real estate.
