In last week’s video, I shared with you the best property to invest in, the duplex. But why a duplex? And more importantly, why invest in real estate at all? Well, for the amazing returns that you can achieve, and the wealth that can be made. But how do you know if the property you’re looking to invest in is going to make a good return. Well stay tuned to find out. In today’s video, I’m going to talking about 2 financial calculations you can use to determine if the propert

I don’t miss it! Yesterday we celebrated thanksgiving with a dinner at my wife’s Baba and Dedo’s home. Yes in Canada our Thanksgiving is earlier then the US Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! But this isn’t why I’m emailing you, I'm emailing you to tell you about my Thanksgiving dinner. You see, my wife’s sister was there yesterday, showing up late because she had to work. And the whole time she was there, she was working, phone call after phone call. That's bec

I was with some people whom I hadn't seen in almost 6 years last night whom stopped by our house with my Aunt and Uncle whom they were visiting. The topic as always quickly switched to investing in real estate as they knew I owned a bunch of properties. They told me how there son wants to take the next step with investing in real estate, as currently he owns a small property that he had purchased couple years ago, and could just afford, and to put some extra money in his po

Came across this article the other day, which mentions how 44% of Toronto condo investors have negative cash flow, upwards of almost $1,000 per month, and the reason they are investing there is for appreciation. This is nuts to me. I've always shied away from these large markets, because: They are too expensive, They don't cash flow, and It's very risky to invest on speculation (hello start-up tech stocks these days UBER, can we say bubble)? I've built up a portfolio in

I know what you're thinking when you see that subject line, 'great' another scheme. But this isn't a scheme, or some intricate way to get properties cheap, or a sneaky way to buying properties cheap. It really is a very easy way to find properties that are very affordable in your local market to purchase. Just check out the picture below to see for yourself and then I'll explain: What this is are the property tax sales in my local market, Windsor, ON. I check our cities

A friend invited me over to his house the other day to talk about what he should do with his home. He was struggling with what he should do, rent it out or fix it up, sell it and take the profits. Both options are good options, however, the 2nd option I warned him what NOT to do with the equity he's built, the profit he's made from his home appreciating in value and his mortgage being paid down. And that is, put all the profits towards a more expensive home. My suggestion

Have you ever noticed how everyone is the busiest person in the world? Today has been one of those days where people have been too busy to answer there phone and/or their email. Called my lawyer this morning following up to the voicemail I left yesterday for them regarding some land I"m looking to sell and again he didn't pick up. Called my business bank account manager to discuss the refinance I'm trying to complete on a mixed-use 5 unit commercial property, and of course

What property should you get into if you want to start investing in real estate? Most only think about a single family homes, however, there are so many different types of properties out there. Condos, commercial properties, strip malls, land, plazas, industrial, mixed-use, multi-unit. It can be overwhelming, and unless you have a mentor, which I talked about in one of my earlier videos, it can be very hard to know which property would be right for you when first starting out

If you haven’t heard, there’s been a huge uproar since they released it, which I completely understand, as the game is stereotyping the millennial generation about not being able to afford real estate, among other things. But more the former, which is evident right on the front of the box as it actually states, 'Forget real estate, you can’t afford it anyways'. Now this is far from the truth. Watch and I'll explain why. Hey, Tyler Soulliere here, real estate investing awar
