In this podcast episode, Brian Hogben from Mission 35 Mortgages discusses the current state of the real estate market and some things that potential investors should keep in mind. He stresses the importance of understanding the supply conversation and notes that there is currently a shortage of supply. He also encourages people to take action and build their power teams in order to invest in real estate. Brian Hogben is the founder of Mission 35 Mortgages, a company dedicated to helping people pay off their homes in less time than the traditional Freedom 55 plan. He shares his story of becoming a mortgage broker and how his company has helped so many people in their communities. In the interview, Brian Hogben talks about his experience as a real estate investor and how it has informed his work at Mission 35 Mortgages. He also discusses his personal portfolio, which includes a variety of properties across Southern Ontario. He discusses his passion for vacation rental properties. He explains that he enjoys the short-term nature of the investment and the opportunity to learn about new markets. The mortgage process in Florida is different than in Canada, and Royal Bank is now requiring a tax identification number in order to file an income tax return in the state.The landlord-tenant board in Florida is different than in Canada, and it is possible to raise the rent by a significant amount with only 60 days' notice. Brian discusses opportunities for investment in the US, specifically mentioning the potential for increased taxes and down payments for small landlords in Canada. They also talk about the current market conditions and the types of deals that are coming through their brokerage, noting that more investors are interested in flips and buy-to-rent properties. In the current market, mortgage rates are still reasonable, and there is still an opportunity to cash flow. However, many people are waiting to see what happens with interest rates, which are expected to rise in the next few months. There is a big opportunity right now for investors to sell non-performing properties and move the capital into vacant or transition rental properties. This is a good time to buy because rents are climbing quickly and mortgage rates are reasonable. The average person with a $500,000 mortgage has seen their payments increase by $2,600 since interest rates went up in March. This is not a large amount, but it could cause some hardship for people who are already struggling. Salemi is hopeful that rates will eventually come down again, but it is unlikely to happen in the next year. Investors are often advised to buy when there is little interest in the market, as this is when prices are low. However, this logic does not always apply in today's market, where high-interest rates and high debts are present. Brian Hogben suggests that instead of waiting for a crash, investors should buy now while prices are still low. 1. Social media is playing a big role in the real estate market now. 2. There is a shortage of supply now, due to the global pandemic. 3. Record numbers of immigration are expected in the next 12 months. There is a risk right now, but if you're buying and holding for the long term, you can't go wrong. If you wait to try to hit the bottom, you might miss out on a good opportunity. Taking out equity from your house to buy an investment property is a good idea in this market. Brian is saying that it is important for mortgage agents to help their clients budget properly because payments are going to go up for some people and they need to be prepared. They also say that it is important to start the conversation with payment, not with rate, in order to avoid payment shock. He discusses the importance of budgeting and financial planning, especially in light of recent economic concerns. They emphasize that most people are actually doing okay, but that a lot of fear and anxiety could be alleviate...

[00:18:11] - In multifamily and commercial, your property valuation is based off of how the business performs in a residential home. When you go to refinance or get an appraisal done, they're just going to look at the comps in the area. In multifamily, you have the ability to change or even your loan to value. [00:21:53] - There are a lot of costs and fees associated with investing in multifamily in Alberta and in Calgary.

He is the founder of Elevation Realty and Suitor Enterprises and is passionate about helping others achieve their real estate investing goals. This is Dylan Suitor's story... When I was 18, I bought my first investment property - a student rental near the University of Waterloo. I had no idea what I was doing, but my mom thought it would be a good way to teach me responsibility. I went on to buy a few more properties, including a condo and a house that I flipped. In 2017, I missed the market peak by a month or two and ended up renting the house out on Airbnb instead. I started educating myself on real estate investing and quickly realized that the best investment is in yourself. I joined forces with my business partner, Robbie Clark, and we started buying properties, renovating them, and flipping them for a profit. We've now built a portfolio of over 1000 units, including our largest apartment building of 88 units.

Growing a successful real estate investing business takes a lot more than a 4-hour work week. In fact our guest this week, Lena Guirguis shared "When you come to terms with there is no work-life balance, it becomes a lot easier to create a balance that works for you." This philosophy, along with an anything is possible attitude and determination has helped Lena and her husband build several multi-million dollar businesses in real estate. Growing up as older children of immigrants they saw the inequitable way their parents were treated and were determined to not have that happen to them. They started by taking control of their situation by buying properties that others found difficult to manage and made themselves accessible landlords to their tenants. This approach created a word of mouth that enabled them to scale fast and with great systems in place, they were able to replicate this for other landlords and investors.  With an eye for opportunity and a giving approach, they now run a successful networking and education group for women in several cities, own a construction company and have a 10-year plan to build an intergenerational, affordable sub-division that will fill the gaps they believe exist in many communities.    In this episode you will learn about: Automation and why it will accelerate your businessHow immigrating to Canada formed her approach to real estateHow being available as landlords attracts better tenants Lessons from working in real estate as a couple Tips for taking care of yourself with time blockingBusting the myth of work-life balance Lena Guirguis is a Real Estate Advisor, Wealth Coach, and Public Speaker.

With over 15 years of active investing in North America, Lena has experienced firsthand, the ups and downs of the Real Estate market.  Despite its cyclic nature, she was able to create scalable systems that allow for continuous growth. Lena lives by the philosophy: “It doesn’t matter where you come from; it’s where you decide you want to go.” She understands what it is like to work hard for what you have, and in 2016 she embarked on her greatest journey yet, becoming a mom to a rambunctious little girl she proudly calls her “CEO in training”  Get in touch with Lena Guirguis:Websites: https://lenaguirguis.com/https://stilettosandhammers.com/https://nvpropertymanagement.ca/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lenaguirguis/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lenaguirguis1Text: 6475573401  but you must say where you heard Lena otherwise she will ignore you!  This episode has been brought to you in part byPrivate Money 4 Mortgages - https://privatemoney4mortgages.comBM Select - https://bmselect.ca/
