This show originally aired in the summer of 2025. How do you rebuild after a real estate investing setback — and turn it into long-term rental success? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with RealWealth member Sam Jo to share a powerful comeback story every investor can learn from. After losing money on a house flip during the 2007 housing downturn, Sam walked away from real estate for years. Nearly a decade later — and following a pandemic-related business closure — he returned with a smarter strategy focused on cash-flowing rental properties. Sam explains how he built a rental portfolio in Cleveland, why affordable Midwest markets stood out, and how partnering with RealWealth helped him avoid costly mistakes and accelerate his growth. If you're interested in building a rental property portfolio, learning from past failures, and investing with a long-term mindset, this episode offers practical insight and real-world inspiration.
In this conversation, Richard Ross, CEO of Quinn Residences, discusses the evolution and significance of dedicated rental communities in the housing market. Richard explains how dedicated rental communities differ from traditional build-to-rent models, why they are purpose-built specifically for renters, and what years of real estate experience have taught him about shifting housing preferences. He also breaks down how COVID accelerated demand for single-family rentals, changed renter demographics, and reshaped expectations around space, privacy, and community. The conversation digs into why the average resident in these communities is 38 years old, how thoughtful community design and longer lease structures foster stability, and why outdated perceptions of renting continue to hold back policy progress. Richard also makes the case for regulatory reform as a necessary step toward solving the country's housing shortage. This episode offers a grounded look at where rental housing is headed—and why the future of housing won't be defined by ownership alone. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: What separates dedicated rental communities from traditional build-to-rent Why today's renters prioritize community, amenities, and flexibility How COVID permanently shifted rental demand and preferences Why the average renter age is older than many assume How community design drives satisfaction and retention The role of long-term leases in creating stability Why renting is increasingly a long-term lifestyle choice Common misconceptions that frame renting as “second class” The scale of the U.S. housing shortage Why streamlined regulation is critical to expanding supply Related to this episode: Richard Ross – Chief Executive Officer at Quinn Residences Quinn Residences The Power House podcast brings the biggest names in housing to answer hard-hitting questions about industry trends, operational and growth strategy, and leadership.

As we head into 2026, population is no longer just another economic talking point — it has become one of the single most powerful forces reshaping Canadian real estate & the economy. For the first time in modern history, Canada's population is shrinking, and the effects are immediate and profound. Ontario and British Columbia — the country's largest and most expensive markets — are now posting negative annual population growth for the first time ever. After years of record inflows, the pendulum has swung sharply in the opposite direction. Non-permanent residents are leaving in record numbers, permanent residents are quietly exiting the country at near-historic highs, and government targets suggest this outflow may continue for the next two years. The last time Canada experienced a demographic shock, it was driven by rapid population acceleration — and it rewrote housing dynamics overnight. Now we are watching the same type of historic shift, only in reverse, and the consequences are every bit as significant.Those consequences are already showing up in the housing market. Canada is delivering the largest volume of purpose-built rental construction in history at the exact moment demand is softening. Rental inventory is surging, vacancy rates are climbing, incentives are returning, and the national market is clearly moving toward cheaper, more competitive rents. That may temporarily make renting feel like the smarter financial move, but history is unequivocal: the long-term wealth gap between renters and owners remains enormous, and demographic shifts don't change that reality. Nowhere is this more evident than in Toronto, where the condo market has all but stalled — sales have collapsed from record highs to generational lows, new project launches have effectively halted, and completed but unsold units are stacking up at levels never recorded before. It is the clearest example of what happens when the wrong kind of supply finally outruns broad market demand in an economy built on perpetual growth assumptions. Currently, dwellings under construction is running at 500% more than the population growth rate when the historical average is 50%.And yet, the broader economy still sends mixed signals. Mortgage growth has recently ticked up, supported largely by first-time buyers stepping in where investors and move-up purchasers have stepped back. Retail spending shows households remain cautious. Sentiment readings are improving - considerably in the business sector but insolvencies in places like B.C. are quietly hitting new records. At the same time, household net worth is sitting at all-time highs, driven by financial markets that reward those already positioned at the top. 20% of Canadians own 70% of Canadian Assets! Affordability, meanwhile, has “improved” — but only relative to a crisis peak. Even after seven quarters of easing, ownership costs are still near the worst levels Canada has ever seen, and with rates likely holding into 2026, further progress may need to come from unpopular but necessary price declines rather than overall policy relief. In this weeks podcast, we break down this critical demographic turning point — what a shrinking population truly means for housing demand, pricing power, rental markets, developers, mortgage holders, and anyone trying to make a disciplined real estate decision in the year ahead. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

#RentalFamily #BrendanFraser #Hikari #TakehiroHira #MariYamamoto What happens when you get a film that bucks against the direction you think its going? Thats what Rental Family does. On the surface, you watch a foreigner in Brendan Fraser maneuver around Japan as a working actor trying to make it big through a special job as a companion to various people. Once the movie presents itself very quickly that its not what you think, you end up getting a very heartwarming and honest film but people and feelings.

As we close out 2025, the data coming across the wire is some of the most consequential Canada has seen in decades—and it is quietly rewriting the playbook for real estate in 2026. For the first time in modern history, Canada's population is shrinking, not growing. At the same time, rental vacancy rates are climbing to multi-decade highs, rents are falling, developers are pulling back, and interest rates are no longer clearly on a path down. And yet, in what feels like a contradiction, headline employment, GDP, and inflation continue to beat expectations. In this episode, we unpack how these cross-currents collide—and what they mean for housing prices, investors, homeowners, and anyone facing a buy, sell, or mortgage renewal decision in the year ahead.The most important shift begins with population. Canada's population fell by roughly 76,000 people in Q3, a 0.2% quarterly decline and the largest contraction on record outside of pandemic border closures. Annual population growth has slowed to just 0.2%, the lowest level ever recorded. This reversal is almost entirely driven by non-permanent residents—foreign students and temporary workers—who accounted for nearly all population growth between 2022 and 2024. That trend has now flipped. Canada lost 176,000 non-permanent residents in a single quarter, bringing their share of the population down to 6.8%, with federal policy targeting closer to 5% by 2027. For housing, this is seismic. The demand tailwind that drove rents, prices, and pre-sales for years has disappeared just as housing completions and rental construction approach record levels. The result is straightforward: softer rents, rising developer inventory, and growing caution among investors—a dynamic that may not fully bottom out until 2027.Rental data confirms the shift. Vancouver one-bedroom rents are down 8% year-over-year, national rents have fallen to their lowest level since mid-2023, and vacancy rates have surged. Vancouver's purpose-built vacancy rate reached 3.7%, the highest since 1988, while Toronto hit 3% for the first time since the pandemic. Importantly, the largest wave of rental completions is still ahead. While falling rents offer short-term relief, they also widen the monthly gap between renting and owning—pushing some Canadians toward renting longer. Yet the long-term wealth divide remains stark when comparing long term outcomes between homeowners' median net worth (on average 10 to 19 times higher than renters') - depending on age group. Short-term affordability and long-term wealth creation are moving in opposite directions.Housing supply tells a similar story of imbalance. National housing starts are uneven, single-family construction is shrinking, and major B.C. markets—including Vancouver—continue to slow. National home prices have fallen 21% from their 2022 peak, returning to 2017 levels in real terms. In Greater Vancouver, benchmark prices are set to fall for a tenth straight month, ending the year near three-year lows.Taken together, this is not a crisis—but it is a reset. 2026 is shaping up to be a year defined less by momentum and more by discipline, selectivity, and long-term strategy. And for those paying attention, the data isn't just noise—it's a market signal.Join the webinar: www.laidlercapital.com/emptynesters?ref=thevancouverlife _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Click Here for the Show Notes Today's question comes from Daniel, a new real estate investor wrestling with a concern we hear all the time: Do you need to live near your investment properties to be successful? In this episode, Marco breaks down why proximity is often overrated and why smart investors should think beyond their backyard. Using a simple stock market analogy and real-world examples, he explains how real estate markets across the U.S. operate independently—and why being “market agnostic” can unlock better cash flow, stronger returns, and more stability, especially if you live in an expensive coastal city. You'll learn when investing locally does make sense, when it doesn't, and the key fundamentals to focus on instead, like population growth, job trends, inventory, and building the right team on the ground. If you're worried about investing long-distance or holding yourself back waiting for the “perfect” local deal, this episode will challenge your assumptions and give you clarity. Listen now to learn how to invest where the numbers make sense—not just where you live—and take your next confident step as a real estate investor. -------------------------------- Throwback Thursday Episode (The episode originally took place in the year 2020) This episode is part of our Throwback Series and may include references to older content such as web classes, events, promotions, or links that are no longer active or available.

There's so much happening right now that we had to do a midweek visit with you here at Breakfast All Day. First, we reviewed the big movie of the week, "Avatar: Fire and Ash." James Cameron just keeps making "Avatar" movies, so we'll keep reviewing them. At least this time, Oona Chaplin adds an element of crazy-sexy danger as the leader of a tribe that's challenging the Na'vi. In theaters this Friday. Of course, we had to honor Rob Reiner, who was shockingly slain in his Brentwood home over the weekend alongside his wife, Michele. Since we recorded this, the couple's son, Nick, has been charged with two counts of first degree murder in connection with the killings. We remember Reiner as a director who made some of the most beloved and enduring movies of all time across a wide variety of genres, from "This Is Spinal Tap" to "The Princess Bride" to "When Harry Met Sally ..." to "Misery." We also pay tribute to how active he and his wife were in Democratic politics and causes. We'll devote our January Off the Menu poll to Reiner's work, so keep an eye out for that. Finally, a feel-good movie that we didn't feel particularly good about: "Rental Family." It's been out for a few weeks, so we wanted to catch up with it. Brendan Fraser stars as an American actor struggling to find work in Japan. He takes a job with an agency that hires out people to play a role in strangers' lives. Lots of people love this movie, but we did not. In theaters now. Thanks for sharing some of your time with us during the holidays. We'll have reviews of "The Housemaid" and "Is This Thing On?" plus movie news Friday, so come on back.

In this episode, Adam Daigle, Business Editor of The Acadiana Advocate, returns to break down Lafayette and Acadiana's top five business stories of 2025. With years of experience tracking economic trends, major developments, and the people shaping our community, Adam offers an inside look at what's driving growth—and what challenges remain. From the long-awaited arrival of Trader Joe's to manufacturing growth, real estate trends, and the future of North Lafayette, this conversation is packed with insight. A Post-Covid Economy: Stabilizing but Still Shifting Adam notes that Acadiana has mostly returned to pre-pandemic normalcy, but some sectors continue to adjust: Restaurants: Sales are outpacing inflation overall, but performance is uneven. High-traffic corridors like Kaliste Saloom are thriving, while many locally-owned restaurants still struggle with tight margins, rising costs, and increased competition. Retail: Still strong—people are spending, and parish retail sales continue to grow. Manufacturing: One of the region's most promising economic bright spots. Well-paying jobs, steady growth, and diversification beyond oil and gas continue to strengthen the sector. Manufacturing Momentum—Even After Setbacks While Acadiana added thousands of manufacturing jobs since 2020, the closure of SafeSource Direct was a painful blow. The PPE manufacturer, built during the pandemic, couldn't compete with ultra-low-cost Chinese imports. The result: 700 local jobs lost, many held by women and graduates of drug court programs. Even so, Adam emphasizes that manufacturing remains a major growth engine. Companies continue to diversify away from oil and gas, and Louisiana's industrial corridor—from I-49 to Hwy 90—remains active and expanding. Real Estate & Housing Trends Adam continues to follow Lafayette's housing market closely: Higher-end homes that once sat on the market are now moving again. Sales volume is rising month-to-month. Rental demand remains extremely high, driven by population growth and a historic low in first-time homebuyers (just 21% nationally, with the average of a first-time homebuyer being 40 years of age nationally). Lafayette continues to see brisk apartment construction to meet demand. The market is tight—but not dangerously overbuilt. Adam Daigle's Top Five Business Stories of 2025 1. Trader Joe's Is (Finally) Coming to Lafayette The biggest story of the year: Trader Joe's is officially in the works for the corner of Bluebird Drive and Camellia Blvd. in Lafayette. Because the company is notoriously secretive, even the appearance of a permit created excitement. The land deal is expected to be finalized soon, with construction likely leading to an opening in late 2026 or early 2027. Fun fact: Lafayette will become one of only three cities in the U. S. that have both a Buc-ee's and a Trader Joe's. 2. Northgate Mall Sold to Local Investor Jacoby Landry North Lafayette's aging Northgate Mall has new life ahead. Entrepreneur Jacoby Landry purchased the property with a long-term vision for transforming the site—not simply filling it with retail, but creating a mixed-use redevelopment with potential for office, residential, and community uses. Jacoby is rebranding Northgate Mall as “The Hub,” inspired by Lafayette's nickname, Hub City, and the I-10/I-49 cloverleaf, which will be reflected in its new logo. The redevelopment will focus on mixed-use commerce, green spaces, and lighting to ensure safety and create a welcoming atmosphere. Years of deferred maintenance mean slow, steady work ahead, but the project is finally backed by a local owner committed to revitalization. The first major opening recently announced is Xtreme Health Club, a full-service fitness facility taking over the former Planet Fitness space. Owned and operated by Jacoby Landry’s sister, Rachel McCorvey, the facility will feature a nutritionist, weight management services, Botox, IV drips, sauna, hot tub, salt room, cold plunge, a health bar, and two indoor pickleball courts. Pilates and boxing fitness will also be offered, bringing Red's Health Club-like amenities to North Lafayette on a smaller, community-focused scale. It's expected to open in early 2026. 3. Buc-ee's Delayed… Again The massive travel center planned for I-10 is still happening, but Buc-ee's has pushed back construction. The company is re-evaluating store designs nationwide, impacting multiple projects—not just Lafayette's. The new projected opening is 2028. Even with delays, the development will be a major economic catalyst, generating hundreds of jobs and significant sales-tax revenue. 4. SafeSource Direct Closure One of the biggest economic losses of the year was the shutdown of SafeSource Direct's facilities in Broussard and Lafayette Parish. Global PPE competition, especially from China, made U.S. glove manufacturing unsustainable. Key impacts: 700 local jobs lost Loss of a major employer of graduates from local drug court programs Decrease in regional PPE manufacturing capacity 5. The Passing of Red Lerille Lafayette lost an icon with the death of Red Lerille, founder of Red Lerille's Health & Racquet Club and beloved community figure. Adam reflected on: Red's unmatched work ethic His legacy as Mr. America in his youth His lifelong devotion to improving Lafayette The enormous public response to stories about him Red's influence on local fitness, business, and civic life is irreplaceable. Yet, his family follows in his loving footsteps and Red Lerille’s Health Club will remain a bedrock of our local fitness community. Community Leaders to Watch: Mandi Mitchell of LEDA Adam highlights Mandi Mitchell, CEO of the Lafayette Economic Development Authority, as one of the region's most impactful leaders. “She’s got an incredible background working as an Assistant Secretary with the Louisiana Economic Development. It was a great grab to get her back here in Lafayette.” Her accomplishments include: Reviving the long-stalled Buc-ee's project Supporting the Northgate Mall redevelopment and mentoring owner Jacoby Landry to achieve great success Recruiting new business and manufacturing opportunities Expanding LEDA's role into urban planning and talent development Empowering local entrepreneurs through mentorship programs Mandi Mitchell’s philosophy that has inspired Adam Daigle and his favorite quote of the year: “If you want to change Lafayette, you have to build the people here to do it. The cavalry's not coming.” What's Ahead for 2026 Adam anticipates several big developments in the coming year: • Major Youngsville Mega-Development A massive mixed-use expansion planned south of Chemin Metairie—bigger than Sugar Mill Pond. • Continued Manufacturing Expansion Projects like First Solar's facility in New Iberia and partnerships with companies such as Noble Plastics will bring hundreds of new jobs and long-term growth. • New Downtown Hotel An 84-room boutique hotel breaking ground at the former Don's Seafood site—adding much-needed lodging to downtown Lafayette. • Drone Technology Hub Two drone companies, DMR Technologies and Drone Institute, LLC, are moving into the former Reptile Tannery Facility which was originally the L. A. Frey Meat packing plant building at 105 Dorset Avenue, positioning Lafayette as a future leader in drone manufacturing, training, and emergency-response tech. • Proposed Indoor Sports Complex A public–private partnership near the Cajundome and Cajun Field could bring a regional-scale sports facility to Lafayette, boosting tourism and event hosting. Restaurant Closures & Market Saturation Lafayette continues to lose 20–30 restaurants per year—a typical number, but Adam notes rising oversaturation and operating costs. Fast-casual and takeout remain strong, but dine-in restaurants face higher risk and shrinking margins. Even kitchen-ready restaurant spaces are sitting vacant longer than usual. Pinhook Road & Redevelopment Questions Despite frequent headlines about dilapidated hotels and blighted property, Adam does not expect major redevelopment along Pinhook Road in the short term. LCG is focusing instead on stabilizing the city's expanding “empty urban core,” particularly the Evangeline Thruway and Johnson Street corridor near UL Where to Read More from Adam Adam continues to document Acadiana's economic story through: The Acadiana Advocate The Advocate Business Newsletter Regular digital reporting at theadvocate.com You can subscribe to the Acadiana Advocate either digitally and/or print editions here.

Click Here for the Show Notes In today's Throwback Thursday episode, Marco dives into a great question from listener John, who wants to know when it actually makes sense to sell a rental property—especially through a 1031 exchange—and reinvest in a stronger market. Marco breaks down the few, but important, scenarios where selling is smart: major market shifts like job or population declines, a weakening rent-to-value ratio that drags down cash flow, and the big one many investors forget—when your depreciation clock runs out after 27.5 years. He also explains how to compare your current property's performance with what your equity could earn elsewhere, and why transaction costs matter but rarely change the big picture. If you're wondering whether to hold, sell, or shift your portfolio for better returns, this episode gives you the clear framework you need.

If you live in a market where home prices are hovering above $500,000, this is the episode for you. You've all told us loud and clear: real estate investing is tough when you live in an expensive market. Many investors feel like they can't buy a single property, let alone scale to financial freedom. We hear you, and today we're giving you multiple strategies that work in high-priced markets. We're not only showing you which investments work, but sharing the cash flow “superchargers” that routinely make rental property investors even more money in markets that many assume won't work. We have different strategies for every investor: value-add, high-cash flow, low money down, and how to combine them to make the most money possible on your next investment. Plus, Dave shares the hybrid approach he's using to invest in his pricey market (Seattle) and build a cash-flowing portfolio out of state. In This Episode We Cover How to invest in real estate when you live in an expensive market The “slow BRRRR” value-add strategy that makes you rich with way less stress Rental properties you can buy with just 5% down (even in pricey markets) Cash flow “supercharger” strategies that turn ordinary properties into money-making machines How to combine cheaper out-of-state investments with local net-worth-boosting properties And So Much More!
