I have learned from and currently follow a number of real estate investment professionals in our local marketplace who’s principles align with mine. My passion for learning has allowed me to digest their content and focus on real estate projects that matter the most to me. Based on my experiences, I’ve been able to form my own beliefs on real estate.
- I believe in Canada!
- I believe in British Columbia!
- I believe in Appreciation!
- I believe in Passive Income!
Canada: Its no secret Canada is a desirable destination for families from all over the world. Canada offers freedoms and opportunities that citizens in many countries could only dream of. As a Canadian, born and raised I won’t take for granted the beauty of our country and the infrastructure we have in place today. Our culture is diverse. Our people are humble and polite. I’ve had the opportunity to travel and am always proud to call Canada my home.
British Columbia: I grew up in the Lower Mainland. As a kid, through sports I traveled to numerous cities all throughout the province. As I’ve grown older, I’m still enamored by exploring beautiful BC. The mountains, the oceans, the rivers, the forests and lakes. Short winters and comfortable summers. Hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, swimming, boating, cruising. Our healthcare. Our transportation. Our education and so much more. All of this offers a healthy lifestyle that is so attractive to many businesses and families.
Appreciation: Personally, I’ve never heard anyone who owns real estate in British Columbia say, ” I wish I never bought that property 15 years ago.” For me personally, I have benefited greatly because of appreciation. I recall a real estate investment course I attended back in 2001 where we studied a graph of property values in Vancouver dating back to 1900 and it showed real estate doubling every decade. Why? Inflation is one. Two, we studied the law of supply and demand. More people want to live and work in Vancouver with a limited inventory of houses for sale which drives up the price. That lesson always stuck with me. Yes, there have been ups and downs along the way but I’ve been able to leverage my equity obtained through appreciation to secure multiple properties.
Passive Income: Real Estate is a proven way to generate passive income. I’m not re-inventing the wheel here. If you have the ability to identify someone who is willing to pay you a monthly fee for an asset you own and take care of it as if it were their own, real estate investing doesn’t need to get over complicated. Passive income provides security and allows you to become more bankable. I create ways to generate passive income for myself as well as my partners through real estate.
“90% of all millionaires become so through owning real estate. More money has been made in real estate than in all industrial investments combined. The wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate.”
– Andrew Carnegie, billionaire industrialist.
