The bearish Ryan Carr is back on the show to share about his latest investment, a 250 square foot house. That’s right, 250 sq feet. That may just be smaller than many of your master bedrooms in your homes.
Sadly that is the reality of today’s housing market. On a recent vacancy of mine that we just filled last night to four lovely young adults, vacancy is too low and rents are unaffordable to many unless folks are willing to share.
The young adult tenants we signed were willing to do just that. The applicants we didn’t get were often couples who could not afford the rent, to them I would highly recommend to find some friends and share a house together. Four adults making a total of 8,000/month can afford a lot more places than just two adults making $4,000/month.
Anyways, Ryan is becoming a regular guest of ours, he invests in the far east areas, east of Toronto, the markets he invests in including Oshawa are behaving differently than what we are seeing in the west so it’s great to hear his perspective on his market and what creative ways he’s thought of to make money in real estate.

Oh the lengths we will go for our kids….
On Sunday, my wife Cherry planned a half day event for us to ride Thomas the Train. No idea what I’m talking about? That’s ok. He’s a crazy popular cartoon character who is a train and for $25, you can ride in the train that he pulls.
The price is fine, it’s the distance, 122 kilometres from home in Uxbridge, ON that was my biggest problem but fine, we did it, me driving without my license as I brilliantly left my wallet at home 😛. I thought Uxbridge was far when I lived in Markham LOL.
The event was quite good, we boarded the train on time, there was plenty of free parking close by, tons of stuff for the kids to do included: bouncy castle, colouring, a mini train to ride, a travelling zoo, face painting, the kids and their cousins all had a blast. Kudos to my wife for planning the event.
What won’t we do for our kids… the answer escapes but ah, I remember, I’ll invest in real estate for them but I’m not signing them up for hockey 😛 Indoor court, winter sports (basketball, volleyball, anything excluding ice) for this family. They’ll learn to skate as skating is an important life skill all Canadians should have like swimming but no thank you to 6am practices on the ice 😛
From Growing Up Discriminated In Poverty to 21 Hold Forever Properties with Jules Mckenzie Part II
Our guest this week is a returning guest in Jules Mckenzie, he was previously featured on our show titled From $140,000 in credit card debt to 34 properties. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I suggest you go back and do so before listening to this week’s interview as more of the tips and tricks around investing are their including joint venturing. This episode is to further dig into Jules’ life before his beginnings as an investor.
Jules has come a long way in his investment journey from near ruin both in life and investing to 55 properties in 2005 to today’s portfolio of 21 properties after shedding poor performers and paying a lot of joint venture partners.
What Jules has been holding back is the deeper hole he’s had to dig himself out of growing up an indigenous Canadian on a reserve with limited opportunity, resources, an early life of alcohol and drug abuse.
If you know Jules, he’s a big guy with bigger heart and warmer smile. What he hasn’t shared until today is what he’s had to overcome and how he’s done it but he shares it today.
For you new real estate investors know that anything is possible, even when life deals you a pretty bad hand. If Jules can build a portfolio of 21 “hold forever” properties than you can too.

Happy August Everyone and happy birthday to my Wonder Woman who has her own business, does Crossfit 3x/week, mom to our beautiful kids, runs our household and the most difficult part, taking care of me. Happy 6th birthday!! No really, the kids buy it she's six years old…
To celebrate Cherry’s bday like anyone when they turn 18 is to go to Niagara Falls this past Friday. To start, joined by fellow real estate entrepreneur Charles Wah, we took a relaxing cruise down the Niagara river in a Whirlpool Jet Boat, seated in the front row no less.
After that, we pigged out at the Sheraton’s fall view, all you can eat buffet, walked around Clifton Hill to burn off the calories then a stop at Casino Niagara’s black jack tables where Cherry sat down with $100 and walked away with $150!!! Yay!! We didn’t lose 😛
Upcoming Halton Real Estate Investors Group meetings: September 15 we have John Roumanis and Greg Kowalkczyk to guest speak.

Passive Investing in Private Lending and Oakville, Ontario with Jay Gabrani Part 2.
Real Estate Investor and single dad to three, Jay Gabrani is back on the show to share his passive investment strategies: private lending and investing in single family houses in Oakville, Ontario. Jay’s investing is so passive, he will have sufficient time to home school all three kids for high school. That’s right. The time and patience to home school three kids.
For those not familiar with private lending or even if you are, have a listen to Jay’s strategy to mitigate risks, plan an exit, and maximize returns. I’ve spoken to many investors who risk considerably more with their strategies whereas, Jay’s strategy may be the most sound I’ve heard.
Jay’s Oakville investing is educational as well, as many investors, including myself made investment decisions based on a top 10 list whereas Jay goes off board to evaluate the economic fundamentals of his home town in Oakville, Ontario. Jay’s lessons here are particularly educational because if you remember from part 1, Jay was able to take a three year sabbatical after the loss of his wife to mourn and care for the three kids.
If you too want to learn how to take three years off, you will want to have a listen to 2018’s most talked about guest.
so without further ado, I present to you Jay Gabrani.
Preacher’s Son, Ran Away From Home at 12, 365 Days In Rehab To Real Estate Success With Ben Oosterveld

Summer is in full swing now that we’ve had our July Halton REI meeting and taking the month of August off but don’t worry, there will be a tour mid August for investment opportunities in St. Catharines.
This past Saturday, our Street Smart Tour brought us to a city truly open for business in Brantford, Ontario with my team, the Team Titans and our friend Paisley Mackenzie, former Economic Development Office of Brantford. Paisley has nearly 30 years experience working around investments and Brantford so it was a special treat to have her along.
Brantford is an underrated market as many regular Brantford investors know who are enjoying the returns in a market that is flying under the radar. Brantford is situated between Hamilton and Cambridge, Ontario and there are not many hotter markets than these two for those who care about the ripple affect. Also what many do not know is how good the Planning Department is, they are actually consistent in following Ontario Building Code and sadly, not all cities can say the same.
Days on market are some of the best I’ve seen in years as this is summer when prices typically retreat and we toured two pretty sweet properties that have been on market for around 60 days at prices mid 300 to low 400,000. Terrific affordability when compared to the neighbouring KWC and Hamilton markets.
On to this week’s show!!
Preacher’s Son, Ran Away From Home at 12, 365 Days In Rehab To Real Estate Success With Ben Oosterveld
Today’s Ben Oosterveld is crazy successful. Dad to four kids, happily married, booming business, he earned over $800,000 in 2017, in one 14 month stretch he acquired 41 properties.
By all definitions, Ben is killing it but he wasn’t always successful. Ben, a preacher’s son ran away from home at 12, abuse drugs and alcohol till the age of 20, crawled home to his parents, checked into a 12 month rehabilitation program and turned his life around.
Ben talks about learning lessons on raising a challenging child such as himself, owning investments with other people’s money during the crash, being bullied by an investment partner, what he would do differently with his investments if he could do it all over again. This is the first time Ben has publicly shared his challenges as an investor.

The young and brilliant Ryan Carr is back to share his current project where he is turning his poorly performing property into a winner but adding an 850 square foot coach house in the backyard of an existing property and rent for 1,500-1,600/month plus utilities.
If you haven’t heard Ryan’s previous interview, go back to the episode titled ‘How a Mechanic Invested in 20 Properties in Two Years’ or google truth about real estate investing dot ca ryan carr to find it.
Ryan updates us on his ultra conservative investment strategy while acquiring 1-2 properties per month and his current lifestyle as a tenant. Quick refresher, if you believe the market will decline, sell your home and rent, deploy your capital else where for higher returns. Ryan is putting his money where his mouth is.

Susan is a veteran investor who started in 2006, the perfect time right before the Financial/credit crisis of 07/08. She’s done flips, legal basement suites, 30-40 rent to owns, student rentals and currently holds over 30 properties.
We talk about raising capital and credit from investment partners for joint venturing, her forecast and equity splits for investment partners, her strategy for the “infinity house” as in infinite returns, favourites books she recommends, how she develops talent so she may delegate and limit her active work to only 15 hours a week.
You will want to have a listen to how she does what we all want, more money, limited investment of time so she may spend more time raising her family.

What can I say about Jay, he had it all, successful investments, business, a growing family till tragedy struck and took the mother of his three young children. Thanks to his real estate, his portfolio was able to support Jay and his kids while on leave for three years to mourn and care for the kids.
We go deep into what happened, how it affected the kids, how Jay got through it now four years later, lessons learned, what Jay would have done differently for his wife and Jay’s three sources of passive income that allow him to be a full time dad, yet still living in one of Canada’s most affluent cities.
This is part one of a two part series of the most difficult interview I have done. If you’re a parent or ever plan on being one, have a listen.

Can You Get Rich Working for a Start Up? With Tony La
This week’s guest is Tony La, Chief Technical Officer of start up Honk Mobile. Haven’t heard of them? That’s ok because you will. They take mobile payment for parking and they just signed Pearson International Airport in Toronto. With Honk Mobile you can pay or parking and re feed the meter all from your phone so you don’t need to have change and you don’t need to run back to the meter to pay for more parking if the meter is running out.
The business and founder is so hot, they were featured on Dragon’s Den and four of the five Dragons made the owner offers: http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/pitches/honkmobile
As you can tell from my recent line of questioning for guests of our show is how can we make money? Preferably passively, reliably, predictably, securely, insurably. I know I made that last one up but you know where I’m going. What’s the best way to get rich hence we needed a guest on the show to talk to start ups that have the potential to be the next Uber or AirBnb.
So can we get rich working for a start up? Let’s ask my friend, client, and real estate investor, Tony La

On this episode, Erwin Szeto shares his real estate journey and how he ultimately walked away from his corporate job to work with real estate and investors on a full-time basis. Over the past eight years, together with his growing team, he’s helped hundreds of investors create cash flow, build equity and navigate the tricky business of real estate. Erwin shares how he bought a home with a wooden foundation, how entrepreneurs and investors are risk-averse, why giving back matters and how he calculated quitting his job was the right thing to do!

How to Claim Thousands of Dollars of in Home Energy Rebates with Nick Crosby
“I wish I knew you before I did my renovations” is what ever tells Nick “the Rebate Guy” Crosby upon meeting him.
It is exactly what I said because for years, I have not been able to locate a home energy auditor since many of the last set of rebate programs went away and the majority where only for your principle residence and NOT rental properties.
No more!! Friend of the show and our client Kaush Nanubhai recommend Nick to us after he hired Nick to inspect his property and Kaush is netting a cool thousand dollars in rebates for renovation work he was planning on doing anyways.
I personally could have netted several thousand for my AC and window replacements in the last two years but I’ll be having Nick inspect for sure before I have my ancient, mid efficiency furnace replace.

John Roumanis is back again and upon his insistence we opened a 2009 Italian bottle of Chianti (I can’t help but think of Hannibal Lector’s line how he ate liver and kidney beans with a nice Chianti…) and chatted about real estate, mindset for success, challenges and successes, stock investing and so much more. I know it’s a long episode and but do listen to the end to hear what motivates John. It wasn’t what I expected.
John is my friend and client, he holds a CPA, MBA, and he’s a part time instructor at Sheridan College to round out his busy life as an executive at a major coffee company and new father.

My friend and Marketing guy John Cerpnjak just entered the housing market, a new construction apartment condo on the west side of downtown Toronto.
John is a hard working millennial who works from home for the most part helping small businesses with their online, direct Marketing. Much of the work is contract based and from home, a trend that is becoming more and more popular, and no different than many millennials, they rent and want to enter the real estate market as an owner. Who can blame them, pay rent forever or join the middle class buy owning property.
John was expecting to pay rent for the majority of his 30’s but something happened allowing him to afford a downpayment on a property and the following is his story.
As a socialist, I want to see more affordable housing but that’s just not happening considering the sellers’ market I continue to see at the starter home category and rents in major markets continue to climb. It is a sad reality in which we live and something I want to see my kids avoid and for you the listener to act today so your children and grandchildren may choose home ownership vs. paying rent for life.

Starting an Amazon Business
Does is seem like Amazon is everywhere? They sure seem to be creating jobs in the thousands each time they are in the news: 3,000 jobs in Vancouver and more recently announced another 1,000 in Ottawa.
I’m fasting on Amazon along with breakfast too but I can’t help but buy lots of books on my kindle as I love reading it to fall asleep each night in the dark. But our household still buys tons off Amazon: phone cases, organic coconut milk, belts, hard drives, nail clippers, web cam, microphones (I simply look around my desk and sadly see hundreds of dollars spent buying off Amazon LOL).
The Amazon marketplace is often the first place I look to shop for convenience and home delivery. That’s where this week’s episode comes in as my friend and client Kensen Wah took the deep plunge to leave his successful career at a big bank to start his Amazon business and he’s here on the show to share how he started and his progress.

Investing in Rural Real Estate Outside Winnipeg, MB with Candice Bakx-Friesen
I was talking to my friend Stephen Jones at the May REIN meeting about the affordability crisis in the Golden Horseshoe’s real estate market. Stephen lives in the East, I in the West but the challenges are no different, where will the next generation live?
Stephen theorized if our kids did not have investor parents, they would have to move to Winnipeg for affordability reasons. I countered, “no, they will be living with you!” to which we both laughed, could you imagine? He’s got four kids too, imagine if all the kids got married and moved back home with their spouses and started having kids.
Speaking of Winnipeg, this week’s guest on the show is Candice Bakx-Friesen, a rural investor since 2001, Realtor, Trainer to Realtors, Coach to investor, speaker, mother and wife.
If you’ve never been exposed to investing in rural real estate investing, you are in for a treat as we have a professional in guest Candice. On this episode we talk about speculative investing as in she developed a lot of land, built a house and put it up for sale. What separates mature investors from amateurs. Kids stealing rent cash, what training looks like for Realtors, the challenges of working with investors, and general lessons in business, investing, and raising kids.
So without further a do I present to you Candice Bakx-Friesen

Why would anyone want to build a $1 Million RSP? With Kathleen Van Den Berg
It all started with an article I sent CFP, MBA Kathleen Van Den Berg, an article titled How to build a million dollar RRSP — it isn't as hard to get there as you think and she corrected me in stating "think they are asking the wrong question. Why would anyone want to build a $1M RSP?” To which I responded, I don’t know! Let’s flush it out on the podcast!! hahaha
We also cover some hot topics such as how much we need to retire, financial advice for folks at different stages of their lives, and for having trouble getting their 6th or 11th or 15th mortgage, you will want to hear about the benefits of whole life insurance as I personally know folks who were out of credit who not have credit thanks to a little known insurance called whole life.

I’ve known Ian Szabo for a very long time, since about 2008 when I first joined REIN and there was a lot more of him. He’s since lost 40-50 pounds and written two best selling books: Reno to Riches and Fix & Flip. At the time he’d started his transformation already from his renovation business to full time investing for himself. Ian then wanted to give back to the community by starting his flip school and his current focus, Ian’s short bus talks where he video logs from a refurbished, pimped out short school bus. You see, Ian rode the short bus in school with the other kids with learning disabilities giving him limited beliefs about himself. Ian has since purchased a short bus, repainted it a deep orange, installed a roof top patio, installed new benches complete with flat screen TV and Play Station gaming console. Ian just recently interviewed Gary Vayneychuk the media baron who LOVED the short bus. I’ll include a link in the show notes. Ian is one of the super successful yet humble good guys in the real estate world so without further ado, I give you Ian Szabo

This week’s guest is none other than all time best selling Canadian real estate author Don R Campbell and spoiler alert, he’s a fan of the show!!
"I like your podcast, I think it’s real, it’s fresh, you have got good guests that area real life guests, it’s awesome” Don R Campbell; All Time, Best Selling, Canadian Real Estate Author
We cover a lot of subjects: politics, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investing, stock investing strategy, we throw back to when Don wrote his first book and what major re-write he did, being real, the dangers of the real estate investing industry, who the best economist is (it’s not who you think), and so much more.
I hope you enjoy hearing my interview of one of the greatest minds in real estate as much as I enjoyed giving the interview.
