On to this week's show! We have one of my oldest real estate investor friends Andy Tran who was among my first clients and home inspectors. I'll always remember the first deal we did together, a detached house in Hamilton for $216,000. The house had been sitting for nearly two months before we came along and during our appointment to see the property, I noticed there was something not right. The owners listed a man and woman's name but while inspecting in the fridge and closets, I could tell only the father and kids lived in the house. In speaking with the listing agent to gather information for our offer, the agent informed me the sellers were divorcing and hated each other. Knowing we had a motivated seller, our offer was a low one and was promptly accepted to our surprise. Note that we also included our closing costs to be paid for by the sellers. This was back in 2010 and we've both come a long way. Fast forward to the present, Andy is the market leader in secondary and tertiary suite additions. In plain language, that's basement apartments, additions for self contained apartments and garage or garden suites which are also apartments. Andy is a master of maximising the rental income that can be generated from one property. Andy has consulted and designed over 100 apartment conversions between my clients and I including land severances. If you'd like to learn more about Andy's services available at Suite additions, simply go to www.suiteadditions.com where he has checklists and beginner guides to secondary suiting plus his in person training program Andy mentions on the show which sold out in April but expect another this fall. Andy's a good guy and that's the truth about real estate investing. Please enjoy the show!
We cover it all on this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show with Andy Tran. Andy works with homeowners and investors on ADUs, legal second suites, laneway housing and garage conversions. On this episode, we get updates on the trends he's seeing in this area across the Greater Toronto & Golden Horseshoe Areas. Somehow we also end the show diving into the world of Artificial Intelligence and what we may be facing over the next few years.

Today we are joined by Andy Tran & Deshon from Suite Additions who are sharing their very valuable insights on how to add secondary suites, or even third or fourth unites to your property!If you are interested in adding an Ontario garden suite, it can be a very valuable addition to your property increasing property value as well as adding an extra revenue stream for you to lean on. Garden suites have become more popular especially with the introduction of bill 23 in Ontario as the province and the country are working hard to increasing housing through building and densification initiatives. Toronto garden suites have become very popular with those who have an extra garage that is big enough and close enough to the primary property, making it into a nice domicile. A secondary suite being used to increasing rent on a property is very versatile, weather you're doing this through a garden suite approach OR if you want to do a basement apartment renovation. If you want to do a basement suite design and are wondering about basement design ideas, legal basement requirements in Ontario allow you to build a variety of designs that are very appealing to those living in a city. It can be an affordable option to help homeowners pay for their increasing mortgages and property costs. Legal basements are valuable but also require permits that will incur additional costs. But a legal basement apartment will become a relatively permanent fixture in your home and can even allow your property to become a generational home. If you want to duplex your home or really take advantage of the Ontario bill 23 that was recently introduced, you can improve value and income by adding additional suites to your property where possible.

#029. Today's guest is Andy Tran. We get into how Andy got started on his journey with helping people create secondary suites and garden suites. We talk about what it really means to create legal secondary suites. We talk about what garden suites are, why they are becoming more popular, and how it is a housing option with many different strategies suitable for different demographics including empty nestors, parents with aging parents, and parents with young adult children. This can be an amazing house hacking strategy that parents can use to have our young adult kids live in these garden suites, which are essentially built in the backyard of our principal residence. And it is a way to help our young adult kids get ahead, allowing them to build their savings for a downpayment on a house or use those savings to invest. Andy dives into the process of how to create a garden suite, typical sizes/sq footage of these units, timelines it normally takes, typical budget of how much you should plan to spend to build one and how homeowners are typically financing these today to build these out.Show notes and more at:https://moneydadpodcast.com/session029
There is a massive housing shortage in Canada. Individual investors are helping add good-quality properties to the market by converting older homes into updated, beautiful, legal second suites.

On to this week’s show! How To Small Scale Develop A Property Using Free Land With the Infill Boys Before I introduce the guys, we are quickly approaching our two hundredth episode and I want to thank all 16-17 of you listeners for being a part of this journey for us. This all started as a weekly blog in 2010 (and it’s still going) then we started this podcast in 2016 to discuss the realities and learning lessons of real estate investing. Including how not to lose money, which is a great segway into next month’s iWIN Meeting on Saturday morning, June 12th. Our team will be sharing what to look for from a wholesale and the top 5 questions to ask. We too receive emailed wholesale deals and as this is an unregulated market… well… let’s just say some of these wholesalers are pitching what they consider “deals” while wearing rose coloured glasses. Don’t be a sucker and overpay for a lemon and stay for our 2nd presentation on how to build a backyard suite in Brantford, one of the more affordable and newest markets to allow the backyard suite strategy. Friend of iWIN Andy Tran will be in the house to share the latest on his own investment property. Speaking of Andy, he’s one of three real estate experts on the show: Andy Tran, Charles Wah, and Steve Ford. What a special treat!! We discussed where to find ideal properties, financing, construction financing, who’s needed on your team, soft costs, how developing a property unlocks hidden equity, whether to hire a general contractor or not. We cover tons of tips and pitfalls to avoid. It’s a pretty awesome episode if I say so myself. I’ve done a considerable amount of business with each Andy, Charles and Steve and can safely say they’re good people.
Dr. Andy Tran discusses the importance of having a Primary Care Provider and how to find the right one for you.

After seeing opportunities to improve communities and help people gain financial security through various housing densification strategies, Andy Tran founded Suite Additions. He is a registered house and small Buildings designer, a real estate investor and developer. Andy focuses on housing densification opportunities for himself and clients he works with, specifically second suites, detached accessory units, and infill development. In this episode, Andy shares how densification properties earn him a very good income. He did it on top of helping communities deal with rising housing costs, real estate costs, and increased immigration. He identifies different densification opportunities not only to profit from but also to help build better housing for the communities he works in. Checkout: Raising Capital Without Rejection Full-Day Workshop (Online): https://investorattractionworkshop.com/ What you’ll learn in just 17 minutes from today’s episode: Learn where to find out which cities allow for densification properties Find out the legalities involved in doing secondary suite additions Discover how to do legal conversions of non-conforming suites Resources/Links: Download your FREE 8-Point Checklist & Legal Second Suites – A Beginners Guide. Click here: https://www.suiteadditionspro.com/opt-in-b953bdf7-8ee9-4a0c-a8ff-08d3adb88c7a Topics Covered: 01:31 – What is densification in real estate 03:43 – How he came about into densification 05:43 – How to find out areas or cities that are encouraging densification 07:29 – Of legal versus illegal suites, conforming versus non-conforming suites 09:43 – Why the need to inform the insurance company that you have a second suite 11:15 – Approximate cost to put in a conforming secondary suite 12:39 – How to bring non-conforming suites up to legal standards Key Takeaways: “I think the first thing to get into densification is just to check out the information that’s available on the city’s website. A lot of the cities that are encouraging densification, you’ll see that they have documents and things like that, regarding doing conversions, and a lot of them will have two or three-page document that outlines the process.” – Andy Tran “We’re finding that a lot of cities are encouraging homeowners as well as investors, developers to densify existing low rise residential neighborhoods. They’re encouraging things like second suites, garden units, laneway houses, and we’re seeing that starting to take hold in Ontario.” – Andy Tran “I do encourage people to kind of look into your properties first, your principal residence. If you have an existing portfolio, see what you can do there. And if not, I would say, look at a municipality where it is more friendly towards that type of project.” Andy Tran “There are two things to bring non-conforming suites up to snuff. It is whether you have the proper fire separation and all the safety items that are there. Things like egress windows, smoke alarms. The rules are very similar across the country with regards to those, though there are slight variations based on province.” – Andy Tran “In my experience, I would say the majority of cities that I’ve worked with are fairly reasonable in bringing up the legal non-conforming units to the current standard.” – Andy Tran Connect with Andy Tran: www.suiteadditions.com Facebook Instagram Connect with Dave Dubeau: Property Profits Podcast www.davedubeau.com www.investorattractionworkshop.com Facebook LinkedIn Enjoyed the Podcast?

Over the past 15 years we have made huge advances in our ability to engineer the genome, meaning that we now have the ability to edit DNA in a programmable and precise manner. In the lab, these editing tools allow us to create models of disease and to investigate how changes in the genome lead to changes in cell and organismal biology. And excitingly, these genome editing technologies are now entering clinical trials to treat, and possibly cure, diseases like sickle cell anemia. But there is a component of the human genome which even the much lauded and powerful CRISPR system has not been able to touch: the mitochondrial DNA. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell and contain their own, much smaller, genomes which encode several essential proteins and RNAs. Mutations in the mitochondrial genome are the cause of over 150 diseases, but to date, fixing these mutations with gene editing and gene therapy has been off the table due to the inaccessibility of this genome. In this episode of Journal Club, a16z general partner Jorge Conde and bio deal team partner, Andy Tran – experts in genomics and genome engineering – join Lauren Richardson to discuss groundbreaking research creating the first genome editor able to target the mitochondrial DNA: "A bacterial cytidine deaminase toxin enables CRISPR-free mitochondrial base editing" by Beverly Y. Mok Marcos H. de Moraes, Jun Zeng, Dustin E. Bosch, Anna V. Kotrys, Aditya Raguram, FoSheng Hsu, Matthew C. Radey, S. Brook Peterson, Vamsi K. Mootha, Joseph D. Mougous & David R. Liu, published in Nature. We discuss what makes the mitochondrial genome distinct, how this new tool – which was derived from a bacterial toxin – was engineered for both safety and specificity, and the important applications for this new editor.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways CAR T is a revolutionary therapy which uses engineered T cells to identify and destroy specific cellsA recent study demonstrated promise in using CAR T cells to recognize and kill senescent cellsCAR T therapy has the potential to restore health, not just combat cancerRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgCAR T therapy is a groundbreaking medicine that uses engineered T cells to attack cancer. But CAR T cells (that is, chimeric antigen receptor T cells) can be programmed to recognize a huge range of target proteins and cell types. So what other types of cells should we train CAR Ts to recognize and destroy to improve human health?On this episode of the a16z Journal Club, a16z General Partner Jorge Conde, bio deal team partner Andy Tran, and Lauren Richardson discuss new research published in Nature in which the authors engineer CAR T cells to recognize and kill senescent cells. Cellular senescence is a process where cells stop dividing (sort of go to sleep), and in many cases this can be protective, like its role in tumor suppression, but if too many cells become senescent of if they are not removed, they can trigger inflammation and cause disease, like in atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes. Critically, senescent cells build up as we age and contribute to a whole host of age-related conditions. In this episode we cover how the authors created these senescence killing (aka senolytic) CAR T cells, the diseases that could be treated with senolytic CAR Ts, the hurdles to getting them into the clinic, and how they could potentially be used to treat aging and possibly improve longevity.“Senolytic CAR T cells reverse senescence-associated pathologies” in Nature (June 2020) by Corina Amor, Judith Feucht, Josef Leibold, Yu-Jui Ho, Changyu Zhu, Direna Alonso-Curbelo, Jorge Mansilla-Soto, Jacob A.

Critically, senescent cells build up as we age and contribute to a whole host of age-related conditions. In this episode we cover how the authors created these senescence killing (aka senolytic) CAR T cells, the diseases that could be treated with senolytic CAR Ts, the hurdles to getting them into the clinic, and how they could potentially be used to treat aging and possibly improve longevity.“Senolytic CAR T cells reverse senescence-associated pathologies” in Nature (June 2020) by Corina Amor, Judith Feucht, Josef Leibold, Yu-Jui Ho, Changyu Zhu, Direna Alonso-Curbelo, Jorge Mansilla-Soto, Jacob A.

Many of you listeners are interested in careers in real estate, today we have coach Tammy Ditomaso aka the duplex queen on the show. About five years ago, Tammy switched from her esthetician business to becoming a Realtor. First she joined our iWIN Real Estate a an assistant, the started taking clients in 2017 and since then she’s rocketed to become an influencer in investment real estate. Andy Tran, the leading expert on home additions says Tammy knows zoning better than any agent he’s ever met but Tammy is no regular agent. She regularly gives talks to rooms of one hundred or more attendees plus that time she spoke in front of over 1,500 at the Wealth Hacker Conference. Yes I’ve made Tammy cry before, I’ve had team members want to quit and some actually did. In my experience, 9/10 people are capable of more than what they think is possible. I push investor clients and my team all the same. Not all can rise to the occasion but when they do, you get people like Tammy.
As calls for better, faster, cheaper, portable testing for COVID-19 disease are heard around the world -- given the important role of test-trace-isolate in re-opening the economy! -- the FDA recently issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for a CRISPR-based diagnostic.It's the first authorized use of CRISPR technology for an infectious disease test. So we discuss this topic in this week's episode of 16 Minutes -- our show where we cover the news headlines, tease apart what's hype/what's real from our vantage point in tech, and share where we are on the overall arc of various trends -- covering:where are we with testing for COVID overall given the taxonomy of what's already here and what's coming;where are we with CRISPR technology, given that this is the one of the first times it's being used for diagnostics vs. therapeutics (and that clinical trials are only coming of age there now;how does this work, and how does this type of CRISPR compare to the PCR approach for testing; andhow do EUAs and more play out given past policy debates and discussions of CRISPR and gene editing...with a16z general partner Jorge Conde and bio deal team partner Andy Tran, in conversation with Sonal Chokshi.On 16 Minutes, we also offer frameworks for thinking about the topics covered, so we also discuss: the tradeoffs between specificity and sensitivity when it comes to testing, especially when there's a big difference in false positives in testing for the disease vs. testing for antibodies; the tradeoffs between decentralized vs. centralized testing (getting the sample to the test or getting the test to the sample), especially given the potential for pregnancy-kit like tests here; and the tradeoffs between specific, scalable, and sensible testing ...Is it possible to have it all when it comes to CRISPR??

On to this week’s show! We have good friends of mine Andy Tran who I’ve been friends with since 2008, Charles Wah I was in his wedding party, and Steve Ford who is a newer friend, client and he’s the general contractor for our new office!! What a coincidence that they happen to be real estate investors too! They are a team of three who are passionate about infill development projects, and are currently involved in several projects in the Golden Horseshoe. Each one of us brings a unique set of skills and experiences in development, design and home construction that can help you bring your project to reality. Andy Tran has designed over 160 income suite conversions Charles has developed land including over 150 houses Steve has supervised the construction of over 1,000 houses. They know their stuff, personally invested in small residential developments and are here to share how including the #1 question: the cost to build per square foot plus all the fun soft costs. Here’s the infill boys!
Every single time someone tells us that the opportunity in real estate is over we know that the person speaking those words just doesn't know where to find it. There is opportunity everywhere, always. And that's exactly what these three amazing guys have found. Together they have not only formed an incredible power team between themselves they're literally tripping over opportunity with small infill development projects. Andy Tran, Charles Wah and Steve Ford are on this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show to share their stories and we're very grateful. You can learn more about what they're doing at www.InfillDevelopments.com and they have a 2-Day Workshop coming up www.InfillDevelopments.com/Training and you can use the code: ROCKSTAR to save $700 off the price.

This is the 11th episode of 16 Minutes, a weekly show where we quickly cover the top headlines of the week, the a16z Podcast way: why are these topics in the news; what’s real, what’s hype -- from our vantage point in tech.This week, we do a 20-ish minute deep-dive on CRISPR, to tease apart the FUD from the facts given a bunch of recent news (not research!) around the gene-editing platform. The news implications range from policy to practice:At the end of July, one of the first laws to directly regulate CRISPR was signed in the state of California by Governor Gavin Newsom, making it illegal for "gene therapy" kits to be sold, unless they have a clear warning label that the kit is "not for self-administration” -- this policy may affect future "biohacking"... but also, such kits don't really exist yet!At the end of August, the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM, an TKTK) released a Therapeutic Developers’ Statement of Principles for the use of gene editing in therapeutic applications -- endorsed by 13 of the most active companies in the field -- while it supports somatic cell editing, it also asserts that germline gene editing "is currently inappropriate in human clinical settings".The above news is also relevant given news of/ the scandal from earlier this year (first revealed by MIT Technology Review) around "CRISPR babies" with germline edits born in China;Meanwhile, clinical trials for CRISPR are coming of age, with the first publicly identified CRISPR patient (treating sickle cell disease) and the first CRISPR study inside the body (for LCA, the most common cause of inherited childhood blindness); how do these show pacing and containment of risks (somatic cell, monogenetic phenotypes, ex vivo, etc.)?Finally, how does all this news affect innovation in gene therapies and other applications? When it comes to engineering the genome -- including tech challenges and startup opportunities -- what might we borrow from the history of innovation here? If CRISPR is not a single tool or set of proteins but a platform, what becomes possible? General partner Jorge Conde and partner Andy Tran, both of the a16z bio team, share their thoughts on all this and more with host Sonal Chokshi in this episode of 16 Minutes.
"I was going to be the one to change my destiny. No one was going to do it for me."— Andy Tran, Muddy Shutter Media Today is a story about transformation. And punching people in the face. Career changes take a great amount of effort. Today’s guest has had many transformations in his life. I am excited to hear what you all thought of this story. It’s really such a fascinating journey to me, I decided I needed to let him tell it. So that’s it for the teaser. This is the final in my series from the Professional Outdoor Media Association's Conference. Thanks again to POMA for the help. Learn more about Muddy Shutter Media. Restless Native is brought to you by Houston Safari Club Foundation. Conservation can and should go beyond buying a hunting or fishing license. And one of the best ways we can all help is with our time. Houston Safari Club Foundation and GoWild have once again teamed up to promote an entire week dedicated to educating hunters and anglers on how to get involved and make an impact beyond their dollars. Houston Safari Club Foundation’s mission is to preserve the sport of hunting through education, conservation and the promotion of hunting heritage. While the group is based in Texas, its reach and impact extends far beyond the Lone Star State. They believe National Conservation Week poses a chance for hunters and anglers nationwide to band together and make an impact. What does it mean to be a conservationist? It means something a little different to each person I talk to, but one thing is clear to me: We should all be pushing beyond our license dollars to earn that title. It's our hope that this week encourages people to think through how they can make an impact. You can get involved with National Conservation Week, August 18-24th. Your effort could be clearing trails, stream cleanups, planting trees, assisting with animal counts, habitat improvements, or fish sampling. And there are dozens more ways. Volunteers are encouraged to check their state’s fish and wildlife agency’s website for local opportunities. Many states have sections outlining areas where they need help.

Two recent scientific journal papers show what's possible when CRISPR moves from cutting DNA tool to a full-fledged platform -- expanding its toolkit for medicine across R&D, therapeutics, and diagnostics: "Transposon-encoded CRISPR-Cas systems direct RNA-guided DNA integration" in Nature -- by Sanne Klompe, Phuc Vo, Tyler Halpin-Healy, and Samuel Sternberg (of Columbia University) "RNA-guided DNA insertion with CRISPR-associated transposases" in Science -- by Jonathan Strecker, Alim Ladha, Zachary Gardner, Jonathan Schmid-burgk, Kira Makarova, Eugene Koonin, and Feng Zhang (of the Broad Institute) What do these two papers -- both about techniques for getting rid of the need to cut the genome to edit it -- make possible going forward, given the ongoing shift of biology becoming more like engineering? Where are we in the wave of the genome engineering "developer community" building on top of CRISPR with a constantly growing suite of programmable functionalities? a16z bio general partner Jorge Conde and bio deal team partner Andy Tran chat with Hanne Tidnam about these trends -- and these two papers -- in this short internal hallway-style conversation, part of our new a16z Journal Club series.

Our keynote speakers Andy Tran, Charles Wah and Construction Manager Steve Ford are currently building two houses from the ground up on a lot they already own and had severed. Basically they got free so the returns are quite significant when you have next to zero land acquisition costs, especially the cash flow once the basements are legally suited. Andy Tran knows a thing or two about that too. Two houses >> four units, brand new. This is an ideal strategy for investors new to developing and we are very lucky to have Charles Wah and Andy Tran to share how they are doing it.

Hello investors!! What a great time it is to be alive!! One of the secrets of happiness is the practice gratitude and I do this a couple times a week in my journal. One of the secrets of motivation is to have a purpose beyond just you. I bring this up today because I received a rather nasty email from someone I know. He challenged the purpose of why I post what I do, saying it’s for self affirmation, states my humility is false, and are making assumptions about me. As someone who has done a lot of self introspection and studied human psychology, I have learnt a few things. Among them is we are all human, we are all flawed, there is no such thing as normal. I am no different, I knowingly admit I am crazy in many ways. Just this morning I signed up for a martial arts tournament to fight other adult men. I am scared, scared of losing, scared of being embarrassed. I have been choked unconscious before in competition in front of my teammates and coaches. I am crazy. I do chase excitement. I am not normal. Many things we all do is about our nature, we as humans enjoy challenges, we’re territorial, we have egos, we all seek approval and want to be loved. So no judgement here if anyone wants to publicly share their wins and successes, I personally welcome it. By witness others successes, that motivates me to be successful with you. If you remember the story about the 4 minute mile. A running race to complete a mile, 1600m in under 4 minutes was first done by Roger Bannister in 1954. How long have humans been racing for? FYI the first Olympics was in the 600’s BC. Two months after Roger Bannister’s record feat, he did it again, a sub four minute along with Australian John Landy. Once John Landy knew it was possible to run sub four, he believed in himself and made it reality. This is the same reason I’ll continue to share my journey to freedom 45. My success was not overnight nor without sacrifice. I have more grey hair than my dad and scars on my face from Shingles exactly seven years ago due to stress. I want to be a living case study of what is possible and the rewards that come so you the listener or friend or client (not mutually exclusive) may believe in yourself to do the same. For the same reason I belong to a mastermind with Michelle Gauthier, Susan White, Ryan Carr, Aaron Moore - our guest this week, Luke Wywrot, Tasha Monaghan and Sarah Coupland to hear others successes to motivate me and to them the same. If anyone is interested, I’ll share more about what drives me in hopes YOU may be more motivated to make 2019 your best. Because to answer my hater, I’m not at peace with myself at 3am, my mind gets on a hamster wheel when I wake up in the middle of the night how I can do more, be more. That is who I am and how I arrived to where I am today and take me to places including a multi million dollar charitable foundation for my charity the Hamilton Basket Brigade to ensure hundreds of families will receive the best Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas ever for decades long after I’m gone. If people want to hate me for chasing my goals then go ahead. Because a good life for my kids, grandkids and giving underprivileged families their best Christmas ever mean a hell of a lot more to me than one person’s feelings. If you’d like to spend more time with fellow world changers and investors, save the date for my networking meeting Wednesday evening on January 23rd. We are still working on a venue but to get on the invite list go to www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca/meeting and register to get on the invite list. Wholesaling, Flipping, Investing in the GTA with Aaron Moore Our guest speakers Charles Wah and Andy Tran will be sharing the how tos on small in-fill real estate developments as they are building two houses from scratch that will each be a duplex. This is the ideal starter development investment for folks as the land came included with the initial investment that already cash flows thus reducing the risks. Most of my mastermind will be in attendance as well in cash you want to meet someone who’s transacted on 70 properties or buys 12-24 properties per year or is building a 30 storey condo building or owns/manages over 200 apartment doors and of course, this week’s guest Aaron Moore. Again that’s www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca/meeting to get on the invite list. Americans call him the “Canadian Investor” as Aaron embodies the Canadian stereotypes as he both helps and invests. Aaron is a past winner of REIN’s Leslie Cuff Player of the Year award, that’s the big award only given to investor each year. He’s won renovator of the year as well. Aaron left his corporate job in the early 2000’s to make investing a full time gig. He’s also one of the best I’ve seen at incorporating online, paid traffic strategies to source off market properties and he’s been a big help in me getting started as well. I give you Aaron Moore.

I’m back from vacation!! Yes I know, I was back like two weeks ago from Hong Kong, China but this time I’m back from our cruise trip we had booked before our Hong Kong trip!! We took a Norwegian Bliss cruise out of Miami with stops in St. Thomas USVI, Tortola BVI (my personal favourite for the lovely views of rainforest and coast line, and one of the nicest beaches I’ve been too), and Bahamas. We did some amazing snorkeling right off the beach in Magens Bay, St Thomas. I was snorkeling with land developer Charles’ Wah’s dad, he goes by Wah and my brother Tony. My brother is an advanced diver, I’m a recreational diver, we both like to dive but when travelling with kids, snorkelling will have to do. We saw lots of tropical fish, some the size of my forearm, a school of cuttlefish and the highlight was an octopus. We hung out with our eight legged friend for a bit and were treated to a show as it changed colours to an almost white. Snorkelling brought back memories of my brother and I snorkelling in Bahamas as kids. This event and the whole trip was a great bonding experience for us. On the trip was my wife and kids, Tony’s wife and kid, my mom, friends of the show Charles Wah, land developer and Andy Tran best known for his basement suite consulting business. They both brought their families including parents. Our total group was 26 and it was so much fun!!! I call this having multiple flavours of cake and eating it too!! Charles and Andy are my friends who were at first clients of mine then became close friends. We’re all young and ambitious entrepreneurs so it’s great we can get together like family to enjoy a pleasure cruise. We get each other whereas many of you investors know, not many people “get you.” I love cruising so much, I already booked my next cruise in early 2019. You see, I’m turning 40, I thought things were downhill at 30 so even more so now. Cherry and I are attending the 10X Growth Conference by Grant Cardone in Miami so why not hope on a 4 night cruise i in the Caribbean since we’re already in Miami and it’s so much cheaper than staying in Miami LOL :P A couple real estate friends look to be coming too. How great is that, a motivation conference followed by a week with fellow entrepreneurs to mastermind and have a good time. I truly love mixing business with pleasure!!!! Quick announcement before we get to our guest, I’m still getting questions on almost a daily basis on timing real estate, the future of real estate, blockchain and real estate, am I worried about interest rates and bubbles, the recently announcement of the GM plant closing in Oshawa etc… so come January at my monthly networking meeting I will go over how I see the world and how the research drives my decisions. I am not an economist however I am a multi millionaire investor, I’ve coached multiple multi millionaire investors, and I spend a lot of time around other real estate multi millionaires so hopefully I’ve learnt something along the way. I’ll share the research anyways so you may make your own decisions. So go to http://www.truthaboutrealestateinvesting.ca/meeting/ to get on the invite list. Our January guest speakers are currently developing a small piece of land and building from scratch two houses on a lot they bought with already two properties. Pretty cool eh? Take two properties and sever the lot, build for a total of four properties and 8 units. How did they do it? Andy Tran and Charles Wah will be at my networking meeting to share how they went about doing it. Starting Late but Retiring 5 Years Early with Doug and Anna Scott Have you met Doug and Anna Scott? No? They are at every networking event. They will even split up to divide and conquer if there are events going on at the same time. I last saw Doug at the Ontario Landlord Watch Annual Conference but no Anna, she was at Scott McGilvrey’s Keyspire event in Toronto where they are member coaches. Doug and Anna also host their own networking group in Cambridge, Ontario. I’ve been before, it’s a great, energetic group of action takers. My wife has spoken their twice, I spoke there just a few months ago. Highly recommend you check them out if you’re in the area… or not from the area as Doug and Anna will tell you. No great event is too far as they live in Waterloo but are regulars and members of the Durham REI meetings all the way in Whitby, Ontario so that’s 90 minutes in no traffic or five hours in Toronto traffic. Anyways, here is their story on how even while starting late in life, investing in just a few properties allowed Doug to retire five years early, how retirement/full time investing really means spending more time doing what they want to do. How they got started, how to be great networkers, and as always, advice for the new investor.

As it gets harder to save and buy property in the Greater Toronto and Golden Horseshoe Areas more families are renting. It's creating intense demand for good property. One of the ways investors are satisfying this demand is creating legal "second suites" to rent out a second apartment in a single family home. There are zoning restrictions, bylaws to be aware, contractors to deal with and more. On this episode with bring back the amazing Andy Tran (www.SuiteAdditions.com) to share what he's seeing on the streets.
Our guest today specializes in designing and building secondary suites. These apartments can really make the difference between a home owner affording a home in an expensive area or not.
WI are LIVE! Josh and Lance travel to Indianapolis for the Principles of Practice Management Summit by Dental Economics. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Chris Salierno returns! He shares wisdom (kinda) about the Principles of Practice Management summit. Missed this year? Dumbass. Make it a plan for next year. Chris helps answer the question about asshole dentist employers that change the production and totally screw your paycheck. THEY did the implant placement. YOU only did the final restoration.

Adding extra streams of income to properties with legal second suites wasn't discussed much ten years ago. Today it's all the rage, and on this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, we have Andy Tran on to chat about the opportunity. Andy's a great guy who decided to walk away from Corporate Canada to go out on his own. Today he helps investors walk through the process of legally converting properties into second suites, increasing their cash flow potentially massively! You can find out more about Andy at www.SuiteAdditions.com.
Hello real estate investors!! Welcome to another episode of the truth about real estate investing show. Happy New Years to you all! We have many terrific guests lined up for 2018 so make sure to subscribe so you may learn their lessons to ensure you achieve your new years resolutions and I'm sure they include increased financial security and freedom!! In case anyone is interested, the Real Estate Investment Network is hosting it's annual weekend workshop call the Authentic Canadian Real Estate Systems (or ACRE for short) on March 2nd - 4th near Toronto Pearson Airport at the Pearson Convention Centre. For my friends and listeners to the show, REIN has provided me a discount code and I tested it just now to save you $300 per guest. If you've been to other events that are out there, the full retail price of $687 which has never gone up to my recollection, I'm a REIN member so my admission is included in my monthly fee…. but anyways, the full retail price is a fantastic deal already and my discount code of ERWINSGUEST will save you $300. Link: http://info.reincanada.com/toronto-acre-2018 If you want the full ACRE experience, I recommend you plan to attend the informal evening festivities to network with the other attendees. To me, it's a great time to reconnect with my out of town real estate friends who don't make it to all the events but they make the time for ACRE because it's such a great event. Anyways, on to my 2017 Year in Review The Real Estate Market: From January to May, the market rocketed up. It was near impossible to purchase a property in Hamilton as it was a regular occurrence to compete with double digit offers on the same property with limited supply and demand through the roof from Toronto folks and locals. St. Catharines grew in popularity for us as investors as competition was still fierce but nothing like Hamilton and we were renting at rates close to Hamilton's. KWC was crazy hot as well and continues to be hot as multiple offers there are a regular occurrence. After May, and after the Foreign buyer tax becoming effective, the market slowed considerably for Hamilton and St. Catharines, exactly what us investors wanted though we noted less interest from investors in Summer and Fall. Oddly enough, that is when I purchased two properties, in the summer and fall, both as discounts from the Spring market. Right now the market feels more balance but prices remain up around 7-8% in our target markets compared to this time last year. The Rental Market: As a real estate investor we have two real estate markets to monitor: real estate prices as that determines the value of our portfolio and acquisition costs. Then there is the rental market and 2017 was very good to investors. From January to May, our investors were obtaining the highest rents we've ever seen in the markets we operate: mainly Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge, Hamilton, Brantford, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Niagara Region. In the Spring we were consistently seen rents of 1650 plus utilities for renovated three bedroom apartments and 1300+ for basement two bedrooms. Keep in mind about five-six years ago, we rented entire three bedroom houses for 1300+. The summer saw reduced demand as kijiji ad views and showings were way down and returned to a moderate level in the Fall. Myself, I like to review my rental ads and prices every two weeks. If I need to make an adjustment I will, most often to price or tweaking of the headline or ad copy. For the property we purchased in the summer, I needed to reduce the rent 3-4 times by $25-50 increments till we found a great tenant. For the property we closed on December 1st, knowing we were approaching the holidays and winter, the slowest market, I was ultra aggressive by advertising our rent $50 below market value. Evaluating a $50/month discount vs. being vacant for three months, an opportunity cost of $4,800, I chose the $50 discount and we rented to a customer who attended the first showing. On the business side, we've grown considerably helping investors transact on over 100 properties in 2017. We've undergone many changes moving away from the Mr. Hamilton brand to the Halton Real Estate Investment Group as a necessity as we expanded our geographic coverage of top towns for investment in pursuit of cash flow. Our team has grown considerably as well in order to support the number of clients we support, apparently good news travels fast and when you do a great job helping to coach clients to financial success, they compliment you with referrals of friends and family for which we are forever grateful. Erika Spencer joined our team in late 2016 and has been a force to reckon with even with the birth of baby Owen in October and was back to work in November. Koukun Unosawa, Han Wang, Tammy Ditomaso all joined us in 2017 plus Paisley Mackenzie is coming onboard in early 2018 all as Junior Coaches. To ensure our newest team members received the same or better training I had given, James Tiberius Maggs was promoted to Vice President of Coaching Services with all of our coaches reporting directly to him. On the Personal side of 2017, improving my health and energy levels took main stage. After years of pushing myself mentally and physically for years, I was burnt out. My body was giving up yet I continued to get by on excessive caffeine (coffee) and sheer will power. I took a couple tests while seeing a new doctor, Dr Callum Cowan, a high performance health specialist who works with pro athletes like NHL'ers, UFC fighters, high level executives, to repair the damage I've inflicted on myself to get to where I am today. I did a very restrictive cleanse in February and March avoiding my food sensitivities and to take care of a parasitic bacteria I picked up somewhere all the while competing in the Crossfit Open. I also started going to bed earlier. As you parents and entrepreneurs know, we can only control what we can control and I've found my mood and energy level is simply better with more sleep. My kids and family, my clients, my business deserve the best me so I started tracking my sleep with my wearable technology called a Whoop and app to ensure my peak performance. With all these changes, the quality of my work has improved as my mind is rested and more clear. I'm able to train more often which I love without having to take as many afternoon naps. The best part is I'm less cranky with my wife and kids so everyone wins with more sleep. Dr Cowan is one of our guest speakers for the January Halton REI Group meeting on January 13th. His talk is titled "Feel Better, Function Better, Become a Phenom” and if you've seen him present before, don't worry, the doctor has promised updates as the science of health is ever evolving!! We will also be hosting a guest panel of investors on the subject of raising successful kids featuring Carol Dias, Margaret Plut, Rob Watson, Charles Wah and Mary Clements. All are successful in their careers and as investors, and they are happy to share the lessons so we can all achieve one of our ultimate goals, parents to successful children.

Hello Halton, Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford, St. Catharines, Niagara, Welland, Thorold real estate investors!!! It's December so we're into full swing holiday mode!!!! Christmas lights are clipped into our eavestroughs, our light up Santa got blown over on our front lawn, the usual stuffs! This year we started a new tradition, the Royal Botanical Garden's Santa's Signature Experience. My wife booked it after reading the raving views on a Facebook mom's group and the experience lived up to the hype. included is a return trip on The RBG Express (a train ride), hot chocolate and a cookie, storytelling and crafting with Santa's helpers, admission to RBG for the day's activities, and of course your visit with Santa. Santa's Cabin was just off the hook, it had beautifully decorated fireplace, giant tree, the room in general and the star of the show, Santa!!!!!!!! Santa asked my kids if they knew they had brought Christmas magic with them. My kids had no clue what he was talking about then Santa reached behind my daughters ear and illuminated a light within his glove between his index finger and thumb. The look of astonishment on my kids faces made me nearly lose my composure. I couldn't have been happier with the experience but my daughter had more for us in store. A few days later, we asked my daughter what she wanted for Christmas and she said “I want a Lego Cookie Monster to give away at the Basket Brigade.” Mission accomplished!!!!! Christmas can end now and I'd be happy. Part of our objective with our charity is to teach the kids to be selfless and I believe the best teaching is done by showing, not telling. My daughter is not even 4 years old and she knows the meaning of Christmas. Proud parent moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here she is with Anna and Elsa dolls (from the Frozen movie) we bought with our own money to give away on our personal deliveries. In case you're interested in an opportunity to teach your kids and to give back, we need a few more packers and in need of 25 more delivery drivers. For packers, we have 85 registered and we are capping at 100 so to avoid disappointment, please register ASAP.

Hello Halton, Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford, St. Catharines, Niagara, Welland, Thorold real estate investors!!! This week we close on another investment property, our 2nd this year with plans to buy our third hopefully in December. Last week was November's REIN meeting and I finally remembered to update and submit my list of properties I had purchased as a REIN member. Lucky enough, Don Campbell was in town to present live and I awarded my gold pin for 17 properties. Don and the whole REIN executive and members have been a huge part of my journey and REIN just announced ACRE, the best weekend of real estate training on March 2-3rd, link: http://info.reincanada.com/toronto-acre-2018. The price is a rock bottom $687 plus tax but hopefully I can get you listeners a discount code so hang tight! For those of you've been around, you know $687 is a great return on investment knowing other organizations charge $1,500 for a weekend event and I've invested thousands more for other business events. Funny story about the REIN meeting, as I was getting ready and heading out the door to drive with my buddy Charles Wah to the REIN meeting, normally, without a second thought I wear dress shoes. For some reason I wanted to wear my all red Nikes, specifically Kobe Bryant's knowing that Richard Dolan, President of REIN wears equally funky shoes some days. Later that night, as Richard called me to stage to accept my award, he jokingly accused me of raiding his closet and stealing his shoes :P Unprofessional of me to wear basketball shoes? Maybe but fellow members and Don Campbell were complimenting me on both my shoe game and award so whatever. I'm not sure there is a lesson there but I was just being me, a big basketball fan and wearing comfortable shoes. Richard Dolan asked me what my secret was and if anyone can accomplish the same. Yes, anyone can do this, being a REIN member has helped me, and the secret to success? Anyone who makes investing a priority will succeed.

The both shows in Hamilton and my friends Mike Gillespie, St Catharines investor extraordinaire; John Roumanis, Hamilton investor of $600,000 in 6 Years fame; and Steve had a great time. Here is a youtube from one of their lives shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT3KZIE27xo With life being so short and everyone being so busy, I find my social circle continually distills down to just awesome people who are also successful in business which makes for great conversations. So keeping with living your real estate investor's life of health, wealth, family and fun; for those who enjoy having fun along side successful real estate investors, a group of us including: Andy Tran (second suite guy), Charles Wah (land developer guy), James Maggs (10 property guy), Roger Auger (property management guy), Zach Twose (contractor guy), John Roumanis ($600k in 6 years guy), me (Chinese guy); we are planning a social get together of fun and adult beverages at Dave and Busters in Oakville which is basically Chucky Cheese for adults with a liquor license. Since there is no Halton REI Meeting for December, we figured we'd put out an open invite to everyone for an Xmas social. No tickets or passes, just pay your own way.

This week we have something different, like we do every week! In last week's episode Ryan Carr and I were stumped on the principle residence capital gains exemption Ryan is entitled to after he recently sold his current principle residence. This area of real estate tax is not well known and of course I didn't have the answer so I did what any investor would do: walk down the hall to my wife's office and ask her. It just so happens I'm married to the Cherry Chan of www.realestatetaxtips.ca who this month was published in the CPA Magazine, where she goes on to educate Chartered Professional Accountants on taxation of investment real estate. Anyways, I walk back to my office, called my wife, clicked record and asked her how to properly maximize one's returns by declaring a rental property as one's principle residence along with some additional difficult follow-on questions. I hope you all enjoy this as I know how difficult it is to find answers to these very specific questions without paying Accounting fees. And as always, everyones' situation is different so do please contact your professional Chartered Accountant specializing in real estate investments.

Hello Halton, Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford, St. Catharines, Niagara, Welland, Thorold real estate investors!!! What a terrific weekend in sports for Canadian sports!! My Saturday started with spectating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament to support my teammates from http://www.mnunesbjj.com/ who competing. I'm still a beginner at the sport so I was there to be a cheerleader and to experience a competition as a spectator before I sign up to fight grown men in 2018. Yup, I'm committed to competing at least once and like everything I do, I'll take a pragmatic approach to training in both the sport, my strength and conditioning, my diet as I'll need to lose pounds to ensure I'll be the largest competitor in my weight class. Just like my real estate, I prefer to have every advantage in my favour especially when I turn 40 and will be the youngest in the Seniors, 40 year old and above division :D. Speaking of having every advantage, my clients hired me to sell their flip property, a gorgeous 2,600 square foot house on one acre. To best present the property we recruited the best stager, best photographer, true tour video so you feel like you're there and drone pictures to properly capture what a lovely property this flip is. Check it out here: http://virtualviewing.ca/mm16b/4078-aberdeen-rd-beamsville-u/ Saturday night of course was the return of the greatest of all time in combat sports, Georges St. Pierre who won the Middleweight Championship in shocking form. You can't tell from the picture but we were all jumping up and down when Georges connected with that short left hook. We were so loud we woke up Cherry
