Vancouver Real Estate Podcast

Here’s a resume many of us wish we had: twelve properties acquired in twelve months, 100+ doors and counting and best-selling authors… oh right, and they are retired (before they turned 40, we might add!). This week, real estate investors, Dave and Melanie Dupuis, join Adam & Matt to reveal their best investment tips, share their biggest mistakes, and take you through their step-by-step process for buying excellent revenue properties. We cover up-and-coming markets, vendor financing, and how to find a deal! The fall market has arrived – time to finish 2019 strong!

After the past 18 months, it’s hard to imagine that Vancouver real estate could go on another run, but there are some undeniable demand forces at play and today’s guest thinks the verdict is already in.

Fresh off of the launch of his recent book, “Beyond the Blindfold: Harnessing the Secret Power of Context”, Vince offers incredible insights in pursuing life through taking action and understanding your personal circumstances through a global lens. With decades of real estate experience in the Lower Mainland, Vince also explains how to make money in real estate, where to buy, and why right now could be an amazing buying opportunity.
