  • Understanding Cap Rates In A Down Market

    Understanding Cap Rates In A Down Market
    Jun 27 2025

    How do Cap Rates work? Why & how they change & why every investor needs to understand them, especially in a down market.

    • Cap Rate Math Impact: A 2.5% cap rate increase (4% to 6.5%) can cause a 38.5% property value drop, potentially eliminating equity for leveraged investors.
    • Recession Patterns: Cap rates rise during downturns as investors require higher returns for increased risk, even when interest rates initially fall.
    • Investor Strategy: Savvy investors avoid assuming further cap rate compression and instead stress-test for expansion to ensure investments can withstand market changes.

  • Is Homeownership An Investment?

    Is Homeownership An Investment?
    Jun 24 2025

    Homeownership remains a strong aspiration for many Canadians despite affordability challenges. A Habitat for Humanity/Deloitte study shows significant benefits of ownership versus renting, including income growth and improved health outcomes. Yet, Canada's homeownership rate dropped from 69% (2011) to 66.5% (2021), with young adults particularly affected.

    • Strong Desire Despite Challenges: 84% of young Canadians (18-38) believe homeownership is worthwhile despite affordability issues.
    • Measurable Benefits: Homeowners experienced 28% higher incomes than comparable renters, with 73% reporting better physical health.
    • Declining Accessibility: Homeownership among 25-29 year-olds fell from 44% to 36.5% over a decade.

  • National Market Updates & What Buyers & Sellers Need To Know

    National Market Updates & What Buyers & Sellers Need To Know
    Jun 20 2025

    The Canadian housing market in May 2025 showed signs of movement but not a dramatic rebound.

    National home sales increased by 3.6% month-over-month, primarily driven by Toronto, Calgary, and Ottawa. However, supply is outpacing demand, with new listings up 3.1% and total active listings up 13.2% year-over-year. The market has entered what's being called a "negotiation market" where buyers have more leverage and choices.

    • The market is showing increased activity but remains cautious - sales are up but still 4.3% below last year's levels
    • Supply is increasing significantly with the sales-to-new listings ratio at 47%, below the 10-year average of 55%
    • Prices are stabilizing with the national average at $691,299, down 1.8% from last May, with significant regional variations - Ontario and BC showing declines while Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan are seeing increases

"REAL" Real estate investment podcast

"RAEL" Real estate investment podcast!

I found your podcast in November, and I almost finished all the episodes in 2 weeks. It's very informative and has practical guidance.

Information can get from different sources, which Patric Pet David (Your next five moves) mentioned. "The TEA theory"

T – Theory: who are very good at teaching you theories, but they’ve never done what they’re teaching. "LOWEST TYPE OF Mentorship"

E – Experience: They didn’t run the business, but they worked very closely with someone who did."BETTER THAN THEORY MENTORSHIP"

A – Application: "WHICH IS THE ACTUAL SOURCE". This is a person who tells you what they’ve actually done, the things that have worked for them. This is the entrepreneur that has their own theories, has experience, and has applied their theories successfully. I call these guys *trifectas* . *And it's tough to find them* .

You guys are "A" type information providers. I hope I'll start working with you soon. You are in the zone. Love it! Keep the good stuff.

pros and cons to buying and renting modulars.

I've been listening to you guys for the last year and it's really helped to build my confidence and knowledge in real estate investing. I live in Northern British Columbia and we have a lot of mobile homes, are they worth while investments if the numbers work?

The Realist Podcast You'll Ever Come Across

I found the Canadian real estate market complicated and was overwhelmed by all the different information I came across. Trying to understand it all felt like trying to find my way through a maze without a map, which was confusing and sometimes disheartening as I attempted to make smart investment choices.

This podcast simplified the complex aspects of the market into clear, easy-to-understand insights that I could immediately grasp and use. When I used what I learned from the podcast to make a smart real estate investment analysis that turned out well, I realized I had stumbled upon a treasure trove of information.

Since becoming a member of their course, I now feel more confident about my real estate decisions, I keep up with market trends, and I feel empowered by all the knowledge I've gained.

From flipper to investor

Hey guys,

Great content and very informative for myself who’s a newbie investor. We just purchased our first duplex after flipping during the pandemic to raise capital. I wish we had all this information prior to our purchase. I look forward to future content to help us reach our goals!
