I never had more that 35 doors at one time. Some will tell you that you need hundreds of doors to be successful. You don't.

One or two strategic, great properties can change your life! But you have to learn how to buy right. You have to recognize what is a bad deal. You can lose a lot of money quickly by buying the wrong property!

So join me on May 30-31 for our next
Foundations of Real Estate Investment course.
09:00 - 15:00, live via ZOOM

Learn how:
- to read and analyze property financials;
- to find and analyze markets;
- to make offers;
- to do due diligence;
- to screen tenants;
- to hire a property manager;
- and much, much more!

Course manual and all tools supplied.

A course like this should be your starting point in investment real estate. Learn from someone who has taken to time to get trained himself, and then done it ... someone who talks the talk, but also walks the walk!

*** Foundations of Real Estate Investment
*** May 30-31, 09:00 - 15:00 EST, live via ZOOM

If you have ever thought about buying an investment property, this course is a great starting point. It covers all the basics and lots more: finding cash flowing properties, market analysis, analysis of financials, writing offers, doing due diligence, financing, credit scores, closing on properties, screening tenants, finding and hiring property managers ... and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

After 3 purchases where I lost money between 1990-2005, I went back to school in 2010 to learn how to do it right. I have been coaching others on how to do it since 2014, and teaching classes like this since 2016.

If you are not happy with the direction of your personal finances and investment. If you don't think you will have enough money to retire. If ... if ... if ... take a chance on learning something new. You don't know what you don't know.

You've got to be careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there.
Yogi Berra

In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia, until we ultimately become enslaved by it.
Robert Heinlein

Where do you want to be next year ... 3 years from now ... 5 years ... 10?

When I started my real estate investment journey in 2010, I set 3 goals:
1. that I would by 5 multi-family properties within 5 years;
2. that I would retire from my day job within 10 years;
3. that I would have someplace warm to spend my retirement in winter.

SMART goal setting is a process: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound. I made it happen because I knew where I was going, and got the guidance I needed to turn the dream into goals, and build the plan. Then came the key: I took action and was disciplined enough to follow the plan and tourn the dream into reality.

Dream ... Goal ... Plan ... Action ... Reality!
Action transforms dreams into reality.

What goals do you have to set today to make YOUR dreams a reality?

Because, you are either going to look back and say, "I am glad I did!", or, "I wish I had!"

If you need help getting started, watch my video on goal setting, then let's connect.

Bank of Canada maintains policy interest rate at 2.25%, as expected. Th BoC said that the current spike in inflation was due to oil price increases because of the war in Iran and are considered temporary. It also said that unemployment held steady, reflecting weak hiring and fewer job seekers. No surprises in this announcement.
