If you follow the real estate news in Canada as much as I do on paid and free sources as much as I do then you will have already heard of my guest this week in Ron Butler who started in the Mortgage Brokering business just after the housing crash happened in the late 1980s and his business Butler Mortgage is one of the largest Mortgage Brokerages in Canada.
Ron is known as the Angry Mortgage guy. His podcast is literally called Angry Mortgage where he rips on all the things wrong about real estate in Canada on both his podcast and to his 56,000 twitter followers where he has no filter so I’ll warn you now, there is some adult language not appropriate for the young ones during our episode. Ron is also a regular expert who is regularly interviewed on pretty much all the major, mainstream news outlets.
He’s here today to give you an insider’s view on why this current housing market is different than the crash of the late 80’s, who’s actually buying real estate today, advice to young people who don’t have rich parents, how he called my strategy of buying houses for my kids a sickness and ridiculous.
But before we get to Ron, I do hope you’re all having a great summer and getting ready for what will be an opportunistic fall/winter! For buyers, this will be as good as it gets before rates peak and the rhetoric from the Bank of Canada is pause and rate cuts.
For sellers, the smart, motivated, those who cannot hold on for the next year or two while rates are higher. They will successfully exit or else be stuck holding the bag till the spring.
I’ll be sharing more of my research, what our clients and I are investing in including the stocks I’m buying on the cheap if there’s interest at the September iWIN Meeting Tuesday night, September 19th for those interested in the truth about what successful, everyday investors are doing with their investments. We have a big time developer how they can still make money in this market, how folks can participate in the development and building of preconstruction without having to take possession of a property because personally, I wouldn’t want to own, rent out, pay out of my pocket massive negative cash flow.
I’d rather make money alongside the developer and only risk my investment. Unfortunately, some preconstruction investors did not realise they can lose more than their investment if the property drops more in value than their deposit.

There’s a right way to use leverage and a wrong way and if you don’t believe me, you can hear it from the biggest real estate bear I know personally in this week’s guest, the Angry Mortgage Broker, 30+ year mortgage veteran, Ron Butler!
Again, a warning, the language used by Ron to express his opinions are not appropriate for those easily offended, nor children and they are Ron’s opinions, not mine nor that of any of my businesses. If you do offend easily please skip this episode.
