In E047, Mike Johnson joined me to share his story as both a real estate investor and high-performance agent with Keller Williams on the Mackay Realty Network team. Mike has shown his real estate skills lately with three purchases in three months, and a BRRRR in which he pulled out all money invested PLUS $100,000. He's presently at 11 doors and has done this in addition to closing 52 deals in his first year as a realtor. Anyone who knows the business can attest to just how difficult such a feat is and Mike is showing no signs of stopping as a realtor or an investor. I love getting high-performers on the show because they reiterate to us all that so much more is possible than we give ourselves credit for. Thank you Mike for sharing your story.

In E046, Jose Jafferji talks about his flipping business in Toronto Ontario. Jose started investing back in 2007 after watching far too many HGTV 'flip this house' type of specials and he was determined to get involved. Unfortunately his first deal didn't go all that smoothly and he ended up losing $7000. However, the process and the experience were extremely valuable to Jose and it helped him to become a better investor. Since that time Jose has built a portfolio of over 30 units and is flipping properties in Toronto at a pace of one per month using ALL off-market deals. Jose broke down the nuts and bolts of flipping properties from start to finish in this episode so you're not going to want to miss it!

In E045, Dave Liburdi talks 'shop' about investing in the Niagara Region. A seasoned investor of 10+ years and 12 properties, Dave isn't afraid to try new things. He 'cut his teeth' with student rentals and has since moved into commercial, multifamily and, most recently, a vacation rental. To his credit, Dave seems to find a way to prove the concept on every type of investment he tries and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about it. The bulk of my discussion with Dave surrounded his activities in student rentals in Thorold ON and his vacation rental in St. Davids ON near Niagara-on-the-Lake. My big takeaways from our discussion were as follows: 1. There are 'other ways' to manage student rentals and it is possible to negotiate more than you might have thought as long as you're reasonable with your tenants. and 2. vacation rentals in the Niagara Region can be extremely profitable and cash flow very well assuming their managed correctly. iTunes and Google/Android Listen Links: https://linktr.ee/theandrewhines Connect with Dave Liburdi https://liburdi-realestate.com/ Telephone: 905-818-9894 Connect with Andrew Hines on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandrewhines facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theandrewhines Greater Hamilton REI Meetup Group: https://bit.ly/2VSSc9i Specific Topics Discussed: * supply & demand for student rentals in Thorold ON and how to price effectively* student rental financing and insurance* rental licencing* AirBnB Superhost and AirBnB Plus status* fundamentals of running a vacation rental Music Info, Artist: JPB, Song: High, NCS Release: Feb 1 2015, No Copyright Copyright Free

Kory Mackinnon discusses developing a $5M apartment building from an old Church. Topics include site plan approval, mentorship, raw land purchases, burned houses, rebuilding, and insurance claims.

In E043, Melanie and Dave Dupuis discuss their real estate investment strategy that involves NO use of joint-venture partnerships. While Joint-ventures can be a handy tool, it's great to see investors that are finding creative ways to keep all of their equity. If I'm recalling correctly Dave and Melanie are the first guests I've had on the show with 100 or more doors and no joint venture partners. Dave and Melanie are the authors of the book called Real Estate Investing Secrets: A No-B.S. Guide to Creating Wealth & Freedom, which is a very to-the-point game plan for investors to get started and take action. I really enjoyed speaking with Dave and Mel and was glad that they made the drive down from North Bay Ontario to be in attendance.

In E042, Mandy Branham discusses how she's acquired 75 properties over the past 5 years into her portfolio by using effective joint venture partnerships. With 75 properties and many different partners Mandy needs to keep organized and I hit her with some serious questions to learn how she makes it happen and continues to grow. During the interview Mandy discussed how she does do duplex conversions, turn-key cash flowing properties and everything in between to help her investors surpass a target return of 15%. Mandy invests all over Southern Ontario and the Midland area and empowers a team of people to help her. Interested in the dynamics of doing high volume joint-ventures?

In E040, Sahil Jaggi speak of his journey from immigrant to Investment Banker to sales rep to realtor who has acquired $14,000,000 in real estate. Sahil immigrated from India at the age of 18 and went to university at Wilfred Laurier university here in Ontario. Sahil started working as an investment banker in New York City but realized that he did not want that lifestyle and came back to Canada. He proceeded to buy his first property at the age of 24 and continued to acquire more and more and occasionally sell properties to continue to grow. I encountered Sahil because of an article from Toronto Life Magazine that was sent to me earlier this year. The article was talking about how an immigrant has come to our country and acquired 10 properties. Needless to say he has been productive since then since he is now at 14 properties and 21 doors. He primarily invests in bungalow properties that he can acquire between $600,000 and $800,000 in various neighbourhoods of Toronto, Etobicoke and Scarborough. Sahil is smart, savvy and full of valuable information and if you're curious about how to improve your 'deal-finding skills' you're going to love this episode! iTunes and Google/Android Listen Links: https://linktr.ee/theandrewhines Connect with Sahil Jaggy https://www.instagram.com/minkrealestate http://www.minkrealty.ca Connect with Andrew Hines on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandrewhines facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theandrewhines Greater Hamilton REI Meetup Group: https://bit.ly/2VSSc9i Specific Topics Covered in this Episode: * Spotting high growth neighbourhoods within a major urban city* How to piggy-back off of major developers and benefit from their research* Cash flowing with Toronto real estate* Long term differences between condos and freehold properties* Fundamentals of a good long term investment Andrew’s Gear https://www.andrew-hines.com/andrewsgear Music Info, Artist: JPB, Song: High, NCS Release: Feb 1 2015, No Copyright Copyright Free

In E039, Rav Toor shares his story of going from bring kicked out of three high schools, getting into acting and sharing sets with Mark Wahlberg, Daniel Craig and the like and then getting into real estate as a realtor, investor and television personality (Rav hosts Everyday Investor on CityTV which airs on Saturdays and Sundays). Rav has been investing since he co-oped at a real estate brokerage in his late teens and is just always making things happen as a perpetual 'deal-maker' I've come to know Rav as an intelligent, accomplished and prudent investor and a guy who just likes to have 'fun' with business. He loves a deal, loves to practice his faith and preach about Christianity and enjoys connecting with genuine people. Rav's current strategy for wealth creation and investing is 'Land Development' where he partners with developers and helps to fund the acquisition of development properties and passively holds an interest in it for 3 to 5 years. Rav gives an example on this podcast of how he invested in a project that earned 45% return per year but generally performs around 20% annually. This is INSANE compared to what most people are getting on passive investments and it was in interesting discussion to say the least! iTunes and Google/Android Listen Links: https://linktr.ee/theandrewhines Learn about Rav Toor at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCawKtaYPC_AwvFYKQ3u-wFw https://everydayinvestor.com/ Connect with Andrew Hines on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandrewhines facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theandrewhines Greater Hamilton REI Meetup Group: https://bit.ly/2VSSc9i Specific Topics Covered: * Faith, humanity and enjoying life with a wholistic approach* being effective and choosing the right people to model* how land development works and how profitable it can be* being a Canadian real estate icon* rent to own, joint ventures and structuring a simple and fulfilling life Andrew’s Gear https://www.andrew-hines.com/andrewsgear Music Info, Artist: JPB, Song: High, NCS Release: Feb 1 2015, No Copyright Copyright Free

In E038, Erwin Szeto talks all about his "wealth hacking" strategies that focus in and around real estate, 'naked put' stock option investing and business ownership. Erwin is an entrepreneur and salesperson to his core. He's ambitious and pushes himself at all times. This is extremely clear because of the fact that he landed Grant Cardone to come speak at his Wealth Hacker conference here in Toronto. I always enjoy talking with people who hustle and find innovative ways to grow aggressively while conducting good business. Erwin checks these boxes and it was an interesting conference to say the least. Want to go to the conference? As of the date of this launch I've been told you can still get some.
