Jamie and Leslie Collard are a husband and wife team who have spent the last few years building financial freedom through real estate acquisitions.  

In 2016, they decided it was time to take control of their future and began creating the life they dreamed of after realizing their financial future was in jeopardy.  

They decided to delve into the real estate world by soaking up all there is to know about property acquisitions, private lending and investing through registered funds such as RRSP’s, TSFA’s, etc. 

Starting with their first investing in 2017, in only two short (and very busy) years, they developed a portfolio of over 50 rental units which has grown to its current size of 350 units and counting!

Throughout their journey, they have become passionate about sharing with others how they use real estate to build wealth. As true believers that everyone can achieve the same success that they have, they decided they wanted to show people how they did it, so they've hosted events, offered coaching programs, and appeared on plenty of shows like this!

In our conversation with the Collard's we dive into:

• The Collard's real estate investing origin story
• Where they've invested in building a portfolio now with over 350 units 
• Why they got started in real estate investing
• How their goals in real estate changed after getting some focused education in investing
• What it really looks like to build a 350 unit portfolio in 4.5 years . . . the price to be paid not for everyone
• The importance of building your team and vetting quality team members in order to scale with speed
• Becoming aware of what you need to see (and have) in order to push forward through obstacles and discomfort
• What it's like to transition to using other people's money to build your portfolio
• Developing the confidence to bring on investors and lenders in order to grow
• How long does it actually take, and how much work it takes, to find and vet a good deal
• What all is included in the Collard's portfolio and how do they manage it all?
• What investing strategies they use in different markets to maximize returns
• Handling the stresses that come with having a lot of business activities on the go, and what they're doing to improve things
• Investing in coaching and only working with people who are willing to teach them
• The future of real estate for Jamie and Leslie

“You will attract what you are.” - Marinella Nicolosi

In this episode we're bringing back a popular previous guest!

Marinella Nicolosi is a private lender with a wealth of experience lending her funds to private investors within the real estate investing space. As she shared in our first episode together (Understanding the Real Risks and Rewards of Private Lending), the key to her success as a private lender is quality relationships.

Our conversation covers:

• Why are relationships so important in real estate investing
• How long does it take to develop quality relationships
• Why working on yourself is actually the first step in building relationships with others
• Accepting the fact that you’re only go to connect with a certain number of people (now it just becomes a matter of finding those people)!
• What are the fundamental elements of building relationships
• Invest time to get to know people…on a non-real estate basis
• Tips on how to build a big network of connections
• How to have conversations that allow non-real estate relationships to turn into potential real estate opportunities
• Educating yourself on how relationships work
• Why problem-solving and growing together are great ways to build relationships with others

Evan McLeish is a real estate investor out of Prince George, BC, where he has been investing in real estate for almost 7 years. 

He got his start with a fixer-upper, a long-term principal residence turned flip that taught him the power of real estate, as he was able to purchase a turn-key rental property and start a new principal residence project using the proceeds from his first sale. Recognizing that real estate investing was a good path for him, he continued the process of moving into a principal residence, fixing it up, putting in a basement suite, refinancing the property with long-term renters in place, and moving on to the next house.

By completing 6 BRRRs (Buy-Renovate-Refinance-Rent) in Prince George while simultaneously working his job at the pulp mill in Quesnel, Evan was able to build up his asset base in real estate and make sound financial decisions to the point of making the choice to leave his job in February of this year. 

Now with the added time he has joined forces with a couple other investors he met in a real estate mastermind group to form NSE Real Estate, a real estate investing firm focused on partnering up with passive investors to invest in multi-family buildings across Canada.

In our conversation with Evan we discuss:

• Getting started with zero real estate experience
• Learning how to renovate to add value to residential homes by leaning on those with more experience
• The power of delayed gratification
• Becoming a real estate investor and developing an investor mindset
• How Evan funded and completed his BRRR projects - the key tactics to successful BRRRs
• Doug goes on a tangent about doing what it takes to get where you want to go (you must put in the time)!
• Why the "how" of real estate investing doesn't matter if you don't really want to do the work
• Evan's take on quitting your job - recognizing when it's time to leave, what to do in the lead up to leaving, and being prepared
• Figuring out "what's next" after achieving a long-term goal, like leaving a job
• Making the jump from residential renovations to purchasing multi-family properties
• Who Not How for real estate investing and life
• Final words of wisdom: picking one thing to focus on and get out of your own way

Dan Heon has been a mortgage broker since 2002, a real estate investor since the mid 1990s and is well-known in the Alberta real estate investment community. He became a mortgage broker when efforts to grow his own portfolio were challenged by conventional lenders.

His office at the Canadian Mortgage Team Alberta has carved out a valuable niche in the Canadian Mortgage Industry, with a specialty in working with people who are committed to their own success by adding real estate to their portfolio.

It's fair to say that Dan is a mortgage broker that thinks like an investor, because he is one. 

With 26 years of experience as an investor and 20 years of experience as a broker, Dan has seen it all, and in our finance focused conversation he shares with listeners his wealth of knowledge in the important areas of:

• What new investors starting out need to know when it comes to qualifying for a mortgage on a rental property
• Understanding what the banks are looking at 
• The 2-2-2 rule
• What investors can do to ensure they get the YES from lenders
• How investors can keep growing - what investors need to do in order to get the banks to say yes to funding more mortgages
• The limiting factors that cause investors to hit the financing wall
• Why planning and strategizing your financing options is critical to grow a portfolio
• The importance of having the RIGHT type of mortgage in place for the investment strategy you are executing
• Why the lowest interest rate isn't the be all, end all, of a good mortgage
• Dan's point of view for investors who have hit the financing wall, or can't qualify on their own to start their portfolio, and how they can attract people who CAN qualify for mortgages to their opportunities

Thank you to Dan for joining us on the show!

Welcome to another episode of the RevNYou with Real Estate Podcast!

In this edition of the show, we're not sitting down with someone who has been in the real estate investing game for years, has amassed a massive portfolio, or for that matter has any desire to build one. 

No, we're grateful to be joined by Jeff Walters, a man based in Calgary AB who made the decision to start investing in real estate in his 50s with an intentional decision to use real estate to improve his family's financial retirement plan. 

Whether you're in your 50s like Jeff, or in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, it's never too early to start having these types of conversations and preparing for your financial future.

In our conversation together, we discuss:

• Why Jeff considers his wife and himself "experienced rookies" in real estate investing
• Flipping properties for income in the '90s, but not investing in real estate
• How following the "typical" investing advice led Jeff to a startling financial realization
• What it was like to be humbled by the results of an investing strategy that wasn't going to meet retirement expectations
• Managing the risk of altering your retirement plan in your 50s
• Why Jeff's not looking to build a big real estate investing portfolio
• Breaking down the deals Jeff's doing to achieve his real estate investing retirement plan
• How Jeff is going about making his plan happen!
• What the real estate investments will do to improve his retirement plan
• Regrets around not being more informed about real estate investing when he was in his 20s
• Jeff's advice for people in their 50s looking at retirement: talk to a Certified Financial Planner
• Understanding good debt vs. bad debt when it comes to taking a mortgage / HELOC out on your home
• The importance of having conversations with your spouse / partner around money and financial planning

One of the big reasons why we wanted to have Jeff on the show was because of the perspective he brings to real estate investing. The perspective of "using real estate investing to provide what you need to live the lifestyle you want" is a message we at RevNYou believe is critical. Any real estate investor should ingrain in their decision making process for why they're buying investment real estate this perspective and use it as a guide on their real estate investing journey.

Thank you again to Jeff for coming on the show. If you'd like to connect further with Jeff you can do so here:

What happens when you give a couple of young gun real estate investors a couple of microphones and an hour to chat? 

You get THIS EPISODE of the RevNYou with Real Estate Podcast!

Host Doug Meyers sits down with a fellow millennial investor, Russell Mortlock, of Mortlock Group Investments. 

It's always fun to share the podcast space with other young and hungry, easy to chat to people in the real estate investing space, and Russell is exactly that.

The 26 year old Medicine Hat native was working as a pipe fitter after finishing up a Junior Hockey League career, making a quality income but not falling into the trap of the work hard, play hard lifestyle that many of those around him were partaking in. Instead, he versed himself in financial matters, namely real estate investing, and started saving his way toward his first rental property. 

Fast forward 3 short years and Russell has established a solid portfolio for his age and, perhaps more importantly, given himself the opportunity to pursue his passions in real estate by moving to Kelowna, BC to begin a new career as a Realtor and real estate investor.

Our conversation centres predominantly around what it's like to get in the real estate investing game early and what it's like to be an investor in your 20s, so if you're someone in the same boat (or perhaps the parent of a 20-something young adult who's trying to work things out) this is going to be a great episode to listen to. 

Topics include:

• Russell's real estate investing origin story
• A look at Russell's portfolio including strategies used and why he chose them
• Why you should start investing in real estate as soon as possible
• The advantages of being a young investor
• The struggles / challenges of being a young investor
• What young investors should do to get started if real estate investing is something they want to pursue

Thank you Russell for coming on the show. Great conversation and we appreciate you sharing your time and energy with our listeners, which is sure to inspire others on a similar path.

Welcome to the final episode of 2020 of the RevNYou with Real Estate Podcast!

In this edition, RevNYou Partner and host Doug Meyers is sitting down with Musician, Animal Activist, Real Estate Investor, and Keyspire team member Nick Skalkos.

nick.skalkos@gmail.com

@nickskalkos

www.nickskalkos.com

This is a truly unique conversation with an incredibly humble guest. Nick's real estate investing journey started in 2016 when he joined Canadian real estate educational company Keyspire. It was there that he learned how to invest in real estate and create powerful partnerships and ventures.

Prior to getting into real estate, Nick was a mainstay in the Canadian music scene playing with bands including The Miniatures,  Spirits, and The Mounties. He has also recorded on City and Colour's chart topping album "Little Hell" which garnered platinum record status. 

Nick is still very much involved in the music game where he now focuses on songwriting and producing with and for other artists. He is currently working on numerous projects spanning across all genres, including working with Scott McGillivray on his self-titled short album and the theme song to Scott's new HGTV show "Scott's Vacation House Rules". 

In four short years Nick has amassed 20 doors in Ontario and New Brunswick using strategies like Buy and Hold, Multi-units, house jacking, BRRRR, J.V. and using private lending, but it's not as though he seeks to position his portfolio as a selling feature for becoming an investor - in fact, this conversation takes place around a time when, as Nick says he is feeling "a bit deflated" around real estate, the reason which is shared throughout the show.

In this wide-ranging, transparent conversation, Nick and Doug touch on:

• Nick's childhood and origin of becoming a musician
• How Nick "fell victim" to the HGTV Income Property phenomenon, which led him to real estate investing with his wife
• Working with Scott McGillivray and Keyspire, and the power of being surrounded by a network of real estate investors
• An open look at Nick's real estate investing portfolio and strategies
• The honest truth around "feeling deflated" with real estate investing, and how to roll with that and keep going
• Doug shares the story of how Nick was the tipping point for a major change in his life
• What it means to Nick to "invest where returns are best"
• Investing outside of your place of residence - BUILD A GREAT TEAM!

A big thank you to Nick for sharing his experiences and stories with us. 

We'll be looking out for his podcast coming in 2021: What You Should Know About Real Estate Investing with Nick Skalkos, Trevor Gaal, and Ben Friegang

RevNYou with Real Estate Podcast is back in session with a special discussion-based episode with RevNYou Partners and Real Estate Investors Gary Spencer-Smith and Doug Meyers.

We've pulled a few common questions from some of the Facebook groups we're a part of to share some thorough answers on how we would approach each of these situations. 

The questions we use as jumping off points for some deeper discussion include:

1. Would you put more than 20% down to get a positive cash-flow or find another house for cheaper?
2. Do you need to set up a business in order to start investing in real estate?
3. Should I burn the boats?

In this episode, RevNYou with Real Estate Partner and property management expert, Gary Spencer-Smith, shares the tactical tips and techniques that he's used to manage his portfolio of real estate, as well as the rental properties of many others through the development of his own property management business.

With 6+ years running his property management business, which he's recently sold, and many more years of being an active real estate investor, Gary has released his new book:

The Property Manager Mindset - Reduce Stress, Save Time, Earn More Money

to share his toolkit for succeeding in the property management game.

Tactical talking points include:

• Property management is really about people management - properties are straight-forward, people are not
• Viewing your tenants as clients, and yourself as a rental housing provider (not a landlord)
• Shifting your mindset from what you tenants do to you vs what you do for your clients
• Seeing your property management as a business...because it is!
• Simple shifts to put minor property management headaches in perspective
• How to avoid nightmare tenants and situations by screening effectively
• What to do when a tenancy trends in the wrong direction
• Seeing your property management experiences as opportunities for education and growth
• Stories and personal experiences from Gary to illustrate the property manager mindset in action

Whether you plan to manage your own properties, end up doing it out of necessity, or are making the jump from DIY property manager to hiring out a 3rd party, this is going to be an incredibly valuable conversation to learn from.

We made it!

It's officially past the half-way point of 2020 and what a wild year it has been:

• Coronavirus and a global pandemic?
• Interest rates slashing
• Immigration stalled, planes grounded
• Home sales silenced in some areas before taking off once again (GTA, anyone?)

These are just some of the bigger events that have been happening around us this year. But how are WE doing amidst all this change in relation to the accomplishment of our goals? As we've gotten to this point, we're taking a look back from the lens of revisiting those ever so good intentions: New Year's Resolutions....or in other words...the goals we set at the start of the year.

How are you doing in the accomplishment of what you set out to do in 2020? 

Are you crushing it, or are things stagnantly staying the same?

Did you set goals for 2020, or is goal setting something that's completely new to you....something that feels like a daunting task?

In this episode, RevNYou with Real Estate Educator and podcast host Doug Meyers shares the importance of goals setting, including setting the RIGHT TYPE of goals that force us to expand, his process for goal setting, tracking, reviewing, and planning, and how to systematically follow-up with our goals to stay on track, adjust if needed, and keep moving in the direction of our desires.

As mentioned in the show, if you are interested in seeing the template for the process that Doug uses on a yearly, quarterly, and weekly basis, please send an e-mail to info@revnyou.com and we will get it out to you. You can also request an invitation to set up a call to work through the process directly with us. That's how important we believe this process is - a process that we use in our own lives.

Vancouver Island based Randy Molland and Steve Arneson make up The REInvestors, a real estate investing duo committed to working with investors that are looking to grow their portfolio, have a passive investing approach, and achieve greater returns on their investments.

They also host a monthly community meetup to help educate those looking to learn about real estate as an investment. At these meetups the most experienced professionals in each real estate investing field present their expertise and teach the best ways to successfully create a wealthy lifestyle by investing in cash-flowing real estate.

In this episode, the young, energetic and passionate Randy & Steve provide some incredible insights into:

•  Investing in your real estate investing education, specifically not being afraid to invest the money into close mentorships
•  Gaining a financial education through real estate
•  Leveraging the experience of mentors & coaches to raise money from joint venture partners
•  Betting on yourself: determine the worst case scenario and if you can handle it, it's time to go out and do what you want
•  Maturing over time in real estate investing - trusting the process and enjoying the challenge
•  Raising capital in the middle of a pandemic
•  Structuring unique joint-ventures for educational purposes, not just for financial reasons
•  The details of their investment portfolio
•  The start of The REInvestors and what their mission is moving forward
•  Moving on up! Transitioning from single family homes to multi-family to land development investments

The process of self-development has become a major part of Randy and Steve’s lives. They pride themselves on getting high returns but also on helping you get in the right mindset to go along with it.

At the beginning of their career they were told by a mentor, “If you want to make a million dollars, help a million people first”. This led to their “Go Big To Give Big” movement.

Go Big To Give Big is a mission to inspire one million people to go bigger in life and unlock their full potential so that they can create abundance in as many ways as possible to allow them to give back on a larger scale!

The REInvestors are leading this action by hosting a variety of events where proceeds are given to charities, plus they donate their time helping others achieve financial freedom!

If you are interested in creating a for-purpose business, these guys have a community around them to help you network, grow your idea, and increase market share so you too can start Going Big To Give Big!

In this episode, RevNYou team member and host Doug Meyers interviews a fellow RevNYou Team Member and young-gun real estate investor: Karysa Brossoit. 

At the youthful age of 25, Karysa has worked her way into an ownership position in a multi-million dollar portfolio based on Vancouver Island in Port Alberni, with a couple more properties outside of Edmonton as well.

From sports, to painting, to being outdoors, Karysa enjoys everything life has to offer. She credits the power of real estate investing for allowing her to live the lifestyle that she has created and continues to refine. To quote Karysa “The best thing about being a real estate investor is when the weather is beautiful I can head outside, chase the sun and enjoy it, even if it’s a Wednesday!”

Karysa knew right out of high school that she didn’t like the idea of picking a career, working a 9-5 job, with set hours to get paid a set amount of money for the rest of her life. After analyzing the lifestyle associated with a typical career, she realized she didn’t want to work her life away and not have time to do all the things she truly wanted to be doing.

She was observant enough to discover real estate investing through the action of friends and family close to her and decided to dive into it, becoming a skilled renovator, property manager, and investor herself.

It is with that background that we're excited to interview her for this episode of the podcast, as we discuss:

• Karysa's real estate investing story and how she got started 
• tips for what kinds of renovations are the best return-on-time and money for do-it-yourself renovation investors
• the importance of continually educating yourself
• the power of networking
• pushing through the inevitable ups-and-downs and trying times in real estate
• insights on developing the mindset of an investor
• resources for aspiring new real estate investors

Sharing her story in the podcast platform was certainly a step way outside of Karysa’s comfort zone, which itself is a testament to her willingness to push herself to try new things even if they may be a little intimidating. This willingness to push the boundaries of the comfort zone is something we can all take note of and apply in our own lives.

Having created and now experiencing the results and lifestyle she has, we hope you enjoy and learn from this conversation with another successful real estate investor and RevNYou team member: Karysa Brossoit.

• What Brad means by "people buy into you before they buy into a deal
• Telling, not selling, what you do
