In E275, Andrew Hines hosts Ian Armour to discuss Cleveland real estate investing. Ian, originally from the East Coast of Canada, and his partners Manny Shiferaw and Thomas Lorini, are investing in Cleveland for its attractive cash flow properties despite its not-so-glamorous reputation. They've undertaken significant projects, purchasing multiple apartment units, and are in the process of acquiring a 97-unit building. Ian explains their strategy for selecting markets based on the gross rent multiplier and other vital metrics like population stability. They have found success by participating in the CMHA program, which offers higher rents through Section 8. Their operational strategy involves partnering with experienced property managers who are also investors, providing them with insights and practical assistance on the ground. The episode delves into how Ian and his partners set up their investment structures, including LP-GP setups for tax efficiency and managing risks through diverse funding and operational roles. They focus on ensuring their investments are sound by avoiding government-overregulated areas and choosing properties with growth potential. The trio's approach exemplifies a strategic and methodical way to capitalize on less popular markets that offer significant returns. Check out the episodes with Ian Armour's partners Manny Shiferaw and Thomas Lorini.

In E274B, I’m thrilled to talk about my upcoming book, "Real Estate Titans," launching at the end of the month. We've got a fantastic offer for the Kindle version—just 99 cents on May 24th. Search for it on Amazon that day and grab a bargain! Now, switching gears to the market—spring has sprung, and with it, a surge of new listings in Ontario. It’s a typical seasonal trend, but this year, it’s compounded by high interest rates, making the selling and buying dynamic quite interesting. In times like these, it's crucial to adapt and make informed decisions. I've had my fair share of selling properties at suboptimal times—like selling much of my Canadian inventory before and during the 2022 downturn, which wasn't the best timing financially but was right for me strategically. These experiences underscore a vital point about real estate investing: it's not just about timing the market but also about making choices that align with your overall strategy and market conditions. Whether you're selling now or waiting out the current fluctuations, understanding the interplay of various factors like interest rates and market demand is key. And that’s what we dive into with "Real Estate Titans," aiming to equip you with the knowledge and strategies from some of the top investors in the industry. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to catch the book launch. There’s plenty to learn whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale up your real estate ventures.

In Episode E273B, I share what's been on my mind in the investment world. It's a timely check-in on what's working, what's not, and the broader investment landscape. Firstly, let’s talk about the challenges in Canada. Many investors are looking abroad due to frustrations with the capital gains tax increase and policies that seem to favour institutional ownership over individual landlords. This shift could eventually lead to a landscape dominated by corporate players, so adapting business-like operations could be key for small landlords to thrive. Today, I also want to highlight some positive opportunities, especially in Ontario. Despite the challenges, there are entrepreneurs making substantial moves. For instance, there's a massive development in the Bruce Peninsula area turning 60 acres into a mix of residential units, which is quite the endeavor in the current climate. Lastly, I dive into my activities in Florida, where we're seeing traction with several properties. It's about staying diligent, negotiating where possible, and leveraging opportunities to maximize returns. Whether it's discussing market trends, development projects, or sharing personal investment moves, these episodes are here to give you a raw insight into my real estate journey.
