I have become very meticulous about how my time is spent, trying to use every minute to its fullest. To the point that just the other day, I had my coffee brewing, and to not waste a second of my time and just wait around doing nothing those 4 minutes while it was brewing, I was texting with a Turo rep about an upcoming car reservation, and while waiting for their reply, I uploaded my latest real estate investing video to Instagram. In fact, I do this type of stuff all the ti

What a week! If there is one thing I can't stress enough, it's to make sure you allow the right people to rent from you. One of the easiest ways to make sure you get good people to live and rent your property is to buy in a good area, and have a good/nice property. Now, although there are still no guarantees when you do this, you minimize issues because the people renting these places can afford to rent there, and have more respect for paying their rent as they know and rea

We all know life gets stressful. Very stressful. I still take pride in telling myself I never get stressed, but there have been times that I’ve looked back on, in particular, when I bought 15 properties in 11 months back in 2014, that I was stressed out! So, if you’re watching this video because you want to learn how to reduce your stress, I guess I can say I know a bit about it! With that being said, what I’m going to tell you may make me sound like a hypocrite, but inves

I was in New York City for a couple of days before the New Year, (no we didn't stay for the ball drop, too crazy for us), a little Christmas vacation before entering 2019, and I gotta say, I just loved walking around that city, looking at all the potential investment opportunities. I'd tell me wife over and over again, wow, how cool with it be to own that building, or that building, or that building. Then I'd think about the people whom did buy decades ago, and how much th

It’s a new year! A fresh start. A chance for a new you. Someone whom is going to take the world by storm. Have the confidence to get that promotion, to ask that girl out, to finally quit your job because you know you deserve better, and you can do better. But how? Every time you think you have the confidence to take your life to the next level, to do what you always tell yourself you’re going to do, you get scared, you delay, you think yourself out of it. So how can you quit

Good ol' Banks! They think they run the show. That you'll just agree to whatever they tell you to. That was the case for me over the past couple of weeks as I was trying to refinance my 3 commercial, 2 residential multi-use building! On three different occasions, I didn't like their answer, which was NO. First no was regarding the valuation they were giving me on the building. It was about $30K less then even I had anticipated with conservative numbers. I immediately fire

In last week’s video, and the one before that, I shared with you the best property to invest in , my favourite, the duplex, as well as how to calculate a properties cap rate , and cash on cash return. In this video, I’m going bring it all together and show you the one calculation you need to know when analyzing real estate.... Return on Investment (ROI). So if you're not sure how to determine a properties return on investment, watch until the end of this video and you will ge

Of course I'm biased and this is going to be about investing in real estate. However, not entirely. My point is, don't just invest where you're told to invest. I had a beer with a friend this Tuesday, and he was very excited because he had just sold his starter home and upgraded to a much larger, more expensive home. He took the $100K in equity he made, and just put it into this more expensive home (Don't get me started on this gameplan again )! I get it, this is what the
