Quotes –<\/strong><\/p>\n

9:04 \u201cIn general, we see cheaper cost per unit and higher cash flow in the US than in Canada. But Canada historically has appreciated more, so it\u2019s kind of a balance. You\u2019re always getting something and giving something away.\u201d<\/p>\n

14:42 \u201cIf we have a client for example that\u2019s looking for a rental property in a certain area of town with certain criteria and we are also looking for the same thing; if we see a good deal, we have to show it to them first. We have to run it by them, get them to check it out and if they don\u2019t want, then we can jump in.\u201d<\/p>\n

17:31 \u201cThe reason why these multi-families don\u2019t seem to make sense is that they\u2019ve kind of got overvalued over the years, especially with COVID, kind of \u2018boomed\u2019 in prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

19:08 \u201cIt (more houses than apartment buildings) kind of created that imbalance in the market with strong demand for the multi but there isn\u2019t a lot of supply.\u201d<\/p>\n

22:47 \u201cI think it would be more meaningful if you went to a landlord union or something of that sort in your area and reached out to the government and if the government\u2019s not taking action to address the issue (then try to fix it) than just building illegal suites across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n

24:04 \u201cWe have one called the Calgary residential rental association and they actively lobby governments or city officials to push changes like that. So definitely it\u2019s great to join those groups and have your voice heard because they actually do put a lot of pressure, they\u2019ve got more negotiating power than just you.\u201d<\/p>\n

26:25 \u201cFor anyone who\u2019s looking to get their first property, I would say find a reputable realtor or an expert in your area. Seek a mentor of some sort and go to them and talk to them first. Get all your fears answered but also remember that at the end of the day, you\u2019re the one who\u2019s got to pull the trigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

28:18 \u201cWe try to make it easier for them because we\u2019ve been there ourselves. We know what it is, right? Like we\u2019ve been at that stage where the new investors are when we bought our first property and we didn\u2019t know where to start either so that\u2019s how we try to view it. To put ourselves in their shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n

30:29 \u201cReal estate tends to go up in the long run and you just gotta stick it out, you just gotta survive these periods and then you cash out when it\u2019s the right time to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

32:18 \u201cFor some people, it takes time. For some, they\u2019re more confident to pull the trigger pretty soon, and for some people, it could take six months right? For me, it doesn\u2019t matter. I try to stick it out with every single client and understand that I was once there.\u201d<\/p>\n

35:13 \u201cBecause the portfolio, you can rebuild it. You wipe out everything from under my feature model, it\u2019s gonna suck but I\u2019ll rebuild it. Skills, you can acquire them. You can do training. But the relationships are the ones that take the longest. The experience is what takes a lot of time and that\u2019s where the real wisdom is.\u201d<\/p>\n

37:32 \u201cA lot of people forget about the process. They look at where people are today but they don\u2019t look at what they\u2019ve been through to be there. And if you only look at the result and not the process, of course, you\u2019re going to miss on that you think that they\u2019re wealthy because they have money.\u201d<\/p>\n
