In this episode of the Daily Brief, I introduce you to two exceptional invidiuals who are Habitat for Humanity champions. First, we meet Habitat GTA homeowner Karen who was able to move her family out of an area of Toronto rife with gun violence and high crime to a safe, accepting neighbourhood in the city. We also meet a donor and volunteer who has been giving his time, his expertise, and even his own furniture and building materials to Habitat ReStores and other local Habitats in Canada for more than 15 years, Scott McGillivray. In addition to his show Moving the McGillivrays, which featured Karen and her family, Scott is well known for the award-winning hit show Income Property, Buyers Bootcamp and his online series Scott's House Call. Scott admits he didn't realize the full effect he was having on others when he first got involved with Habitat for Humanity.
Our good friend Scott McGillivray joined us LIVE and dropped some BOMBS! Justin Konikow sits down with him to discuss he landed and executed on the tv show and scaled to many more, as well as how to build a real estate portfolio, creative financing strategies, and where to invest in real estate. McGillivray attended the University of Guelph where he received an honors degree in Commerce in 2001. What began as a school project about income properties developed into a business model that he would later execute himself. At 21, using student loans, McGillivray purchased and renovated his first rental property, and owned 5 rental properties by the time he was 23. He became a licensed contractor in 2004 to manage his own crews. He now owns hundreds of income properties across Canada and the United States.McGillivray has been an HGTV host in the US and Canada since 2008, starring in over 400 episodes of television, and is best known for the HGTV series Income Property, Moving the McGillivrays and Buyers Bootcamp.

In the newest episode of Habitat Canada’s podcast, we meet Habitat GTA homeowner Karen who was able to move her family out of an area of Toronto rife with gun violence and high crime to a safe, accepting neighbourhood in the city. We also meet a donor and volunteer who has been giving his time, his expertise, and even his own furniture and building materials to Habitat ReStores and other local Habitats in Canada for more than 15 years, Scott McGillivray. In addition to his show Moving the McGillivrays, which featured Karen and her family, Scott is well known for the award-winning hit show Income Property, Buyers Bootcamp and his online series Scott’s House Call. Scott admits he didn’t realize the full effect he was having on others when he first got involved with Habitat for Humanity. Nor did Karen understand the effect Scott would have on her young family. Find out how giving to Habitat connected Scott and Karen, and how Karen is doing after moving into her Habitat home two years ago with her family in this episode of the podcast. The gifts of giving and receiving are at the heart of the success of our mission at Habitat for Humanity Canada. Thousands of families have achieved their goal of affordable homeownership because of donors and volunteers and welcoming communities across the country who share Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We all give because it makes us feel connected to something beyond ourselves. We give because it brings joy or comfort to others, which, in turn, brings us joy. It makes us happy, and there are studies to prove it. Meghan Reddick is Vice President of Brand Strategy and Communications at Habitat Canada. She says first-time volunteers or donors don’t realize how the smallest of gestures can have a significant and lasting effect on the lives of others. ”When you donate or volunteer with us, you really get to see tangible impact. There is a house that you can touch and feel. But really it’s so much more than a house, it’s about the family, their stability and the impact it has on their future,” says Reddick. “When someone decides to give their time, talent or treasure, whether you are swinging a hammer or giving a few bucks – at the end of the day you should really feel good about giving. Giving should bring you joy.”
An international volunteer initiative, Habitat for Humanity Canada’s Global Village program is driven by thousands of volunteers each year who work hand in hand with Habitat Canada and local Habitat for Humanity organizations around the world to build decent and affordable homes for people in need of housing. It’s a part of Habitat’s vision that everyone should have a decent place to live – both at home in Canada, and around the world. Erin O’Neill is Habitat Canada’s Vice President, Global Engagement. “Habitat’s Global Village program allows Canadians from all walks of life to engage in our global mission in a hands on way by building alongside communities and future Habitat for Humanity homeowners to build and improve their housing and shelter,” says Erin. “Volunteers help in a number of different ways – from building new homes to upgrading existing homes with improvements such as latrines, water filtration systems infrastructure or smokeless stoves.” In this episode, we’re joined by two ‘team leaders’ – Global Village volunteers who work with Habitat Canada to lead groups of volunteers to work on Habitat build projects. We welcome Janet Joy Wilson from Ontario and Ernie Fraser from his home in British Columbia. Ernie has volunteered on more than half a dozen builds in Eastern Europe, including work on a homeless shelter in Poland. But he’s also led Habitat Canada Global Village volunteer teams across the country – in Iqaluit, Yukon and New Brunswick. Janet has been on build sites with Habitat for Humanity Guatemala and Habitat for Humanity Vietnam and has twice led Global Village volunteer groups to help Habitat build new and improved housing. She says her Global Village experience has been a rare opportunity to be part of a community, a family and real change.

From October 3 to December 10, we’re releasing a new podcast every Monday, featuring stories about Habitat for Humanity in Canada. Next Monday, we’ll be hearing from HGTV star, and long-time Habitat supporter, Scott McGillivray about why giving matters. We’ll also hear from Karen, a Habitat homeowner who worked alongside Scott on her Habitat home in his show Moving the McGillivrays. Karen shares the impact buying a Habitat home has had on her and her family.
You know I LOVE real estate. I encourage you to share your questions for Ask Farnoosh. It's a topic I love. So I'm really excited to bring back today's guest, Scott McGillivray. You probably know him from HGTV's Income Property or Moving the McGillivrays but Scott is teaming up with Owners.com, which is an innovative online brokerage that offers tools and services to help buyers and sellers save money AND time. I'm all for that. If you want to know more about Scott's money past and the best day of the week to buy a home go back and check out his initial So Money interview in EP 398. In our conversation today, we talk about where the market is headed in 2017. Is this going to be a more expensive market for buyers, a cheaper market for buyers? How are interest rates going to drive the marketing? The financial sacrifices perspective homebuyers are willing to make to buy that home, because so many of us just want to become homeowners. At the same time, some people are just better off renting, and Scott has his take on who should buy and who should just rent. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
