Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with Austin:http://breakthroughreipodcast.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Austin-Yeh.jpg

• Picking an investor-focused Realtor
• Getting over limiting beliefs
• Document things on social media
• Managing properties at a distance
• And much, much more!

Austin Yeh is a 24 year old professional real estate investor from Toronto, Ontario who started exploring the world of real estate investing after reading the classic book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. At the age of 23, he purchased his first property in Windsor, Ontario without having the right systems, teams, knowledge, or education in place. Putting his entire life savings in the investment, as well as borrowing money from his mother, father, and girlfriend, made his first real estate investment an extremely stressful experience. Although the deal was still profitable, Austin learned from the mistakes he made in his first investment and decided to spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars building his real estate IQ through attending networking events, seminars, and hiring a full-time real estate coach. Now exactly, 17 months later after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Austin has scaled to 15 properties, most of which are in Windsor, all while working a full-time finance job in Downtown Toronto. This was done through leveraging the BRRRR strategy and joint ventureship while investing long-distance. Contact Austin: Instagram: @austinyeh6

About our Guests

Pawel was born and raised in Poland, where he developed a passion for IT engineering. He spent over 25 years working in the field, specializing in datacenters and cloud solutions.

In 2007, after buying his first apartment in Europe, he discovered a new passion—real estate. Pawel saw an opportunity to build long-term wealth and create the lifestyle he wanted for himself and his family through rental units and real estate investments.

Pawel and his wife, Ewa, migrated to Ireland and then to Canada. They bought their primary residence in Canada, which was a "do-upper," and renovated it from top to bottom. During this time, Pawel also focused on understanding the financial products available to immigrants and residents in Canada, as well as the Canadian real estate market trends and challenges.

With four years of appreciation and forced appreciation, he sold the primary residence and leveraged the returns to purchase seven rental units and another primary residence. Within the next two years, he managed to grow his portfolio to nearly 20 units in the Ontario and Alberta markets.

Pawel's story is one of perseverance, strategic planning, and seizing opportunities. He has shown that with the right mindset and knowledge, anyone can achieve their financial goals through real estate investment.

Coming from an entrepreneurial family Savio decided that it was time he "started his own thing”.  After initially wasting 6 months talking to franchisors, he started Oakville Butler and Office Boys a residential and commercial cleaning company.  The plan was to scale up quickly by hiring the best people and having systems in place.  3yrs later whilst he was scrubbing the toilet of one his clients' homes because nobody showed up to work, Savio realized that something had to change. Luckily for him, Tony Robbins was in town along with Pitbull and a host of others at the Real Estate Wealth Expo and the rest, as they say, is history.

Fast forward 2 years and Savio is a full-time real estate investor with a niche of his own.  As far as we are aware, he is the only Canadian, investing in Detroit whilst still living in Canada. He has helped other investors maximize their returns by taking out the physical risk of investing in Detroit and wants the audience to know if he can do it - so can they!

After selling multiple projects and small businesses before the age of 22, Darren fell in love with the process of marketing and scaling businesses with social media. In late 2016, he doubled down on my strengths and launched his own marketing agency Suits Social Inc. Helping businesses around the world unlock the full potential of social media as a business growth engine.
