The Andrew Hines Real Estate Investing Podcast The U.S. Real Estate Playbook for Canadians Pt 1: Where Smart Investors Are Going
Canadian real estate investing is broken — the old playbook doesn’t work anymore. In this new mini-series, I’m back after more than a year to cut through the noise and show you exactly what’s changed, why Canada’s market is stuck, and where the real opportunities are now.
This series is all about why Canadian investors are increasingly pivoting to the U.S. With shrinking margins at home, mounting regulatory challenges, and disappearing cash flow, I’ll show you how strategies like subject-to financing, double closes, and land flips south of the border create opportunities that simply don’t exist in Canada.
I’m diving deep into the deals I’m doing right now — real numbers, real strategies, and real results. From subject-to transactions to off-market acquisitions, I’ll share how we’re finding properties at steep discounts — sometimes 40 to 50 cents on the dollar — and why cash flow is still alive and well in the U.S. I’ll also walk you through how to set up properly as a Canadian investor, avoid double taxation, and build a system that works even without setting foot on the properties.
If you’re a Canadian investor who’s feeling stuck or frustrated, this series is for you. It’s not as complicated as it looks once you know the playbook — and I’m here to share it. So make sure you’re subscribed and stay tuned, because I’m just getting started.
