On today's episode, we sit down with Kaye Gitibin, CEO of Go Rentals, and discuss what it takes to be a top-of-mind lifestyle brand for anyone who needs a vehicle, regardless of occasion or location. BACKGROUND: Kaye Gitibin is the CEO of Go Rentals, the only car rental company specializing in private aviation, private client, and 4- and 5-star hotels and resorts. As CEO, Kaye's primary focus has been on aligning the company's unique business model with the day-to-day operations that live up to that vision. That means 25 years of experience building a brand that caters to high net worth individuals and successful families across the U.S. What started with one location has grown into 100+ locations and a proprietary, gold-standard training program that focuses on hospitality and etiquette. The result is the only Forbes-rated elite rental car company in the world for the last two years. Kaye also proudly sits on the National Business Aviation Association's Leadership Council which shapes public policy, while also enhancing safety and security standards, and supporting members' everyday needs in the U.S. and abroad. When he's not working on the business of Go Rentals, Kaye travels constantly, with the goal to visit each office location (and there are a lot) once per year. He loves his Go Rentals family and spends as much time with them as possible – after all, it is a family-owned business and has been from the day they opened the doors. gorentals.com Instagram: gorentals SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

After hearing this episode, you'll have no excuse not to reach financial freedom in under a decade. Today's guest did it in even less time, scaling up to income-replacing cash flow in just a matter of years, even with a very demanding full-time job and constantly moving around the country. Through pure hustle, Taylor Wing is now financially independent in his late twenties with a sizable rental property portfolio that spits out cash flow to pay for his South Florida lifestyle. He's got so many tricks to reach financial freedom faster, but his best piece of advice? The number of rentals you own doesn't matter. Taylor was a full-time military member, serving in the Army for the first five years of his career, bouncing between North Carolina, South Dakota, and beyond. Wherever he was stationed, he began buying houses as soon as possible. That meant Taylor spent almost every hour of the day working, either at his job or on his rental property portfolio, for years straight. Was it a grind? Yes. Was it worth it? 100%. Now, fast forward seven years after graduating from West Point, and his family is financially free. He has his beautiful house on the water in Florida and is spending more time with his new (and growing!) family. Through “rebalancing” his rental portfolio, strategically using “reverse 1031 exchanges,” and other savvy strategies, Taylor is now in complete control of his time. He's teaching you how to do the same today! In This Episode We Cover Why “unit count” doesn't matter for financial freedom, but cash flow does  Buying rentals in multiple markets and how to maximize your profit with medium-term rentals  Why every real estate investor MUST review and “rebalance” their rental portfolio (or it'll cost them) How to do a “reverse 1031 exchange” and move your headache rentals into better cash-flowing real estate The $140,000 properties Taylor is buying today that make $300-$400/month cash flow!

Today's guest pockets $6,800 in pure cash flow every month and is building an enormous amount of equity in four small multifamily rentals, and he's not doing anything YOU can't do.

But with some rookie-level analysis and savvy networking, Ryan found that first duplex, which has been his “cash cow” ever since.

You'll learn about the real power behind buy and hold investing, a lucrative Airbnb side hustle you can use to fund deals faster, and a surprisingly effective way to negotiate with sellers—without ever picking up the phone!

All too often hard working people with good jobs are struggling to get by.These are the same people who are forced to take stressful promotions at work and spend a couple hours commuting each day. They come home to the house they think they own, but they are really just a slave to the mortgage company.These “good citizens” are victims of an engineered system to keep them investing in 401Ks, mutual funds, and stocks.This financial system is setup where the insiders are stealing the majority of your returns (and you take all the risk).The truth is the wealth who are investing in alternative assets and operating off a different financial framework and not using these traditional options from a financial planner, commission-based broker, or the retail 401k/mutual fund/stock route.Lane Kawaoka has been investing in real estate for over a decade and now controls 7,500+ units (1$ Billion plus in assets). Lane is responsible for finding, analyzing, and marketing real estate investment opportunities.It's likely not the journey you'd expect, and it's also more simple than you'd expect.

In just three years, this investor scaled up to making over $100,000 per year thanks to real estate. He did it all starting in 2022 when interest rates were beginning to rise, the market was turning, and many investors decided to sit on their hands. Thanks to a strategy that allowed him to “recycle” his money, he went from one down payment to 16 rental units in record time. How'd he do it? Only in his 20s, Ricardo Adames already knew he wanted out of his career. Working harder wasn't paying him dividends, so he knew he needed an extra income source. Even after taking a “risk” on his first deal, he was able to walk away with a perfect rental property that only cost him (after all was said and done) $5,000. How's that possible? Simple—the BRRRR method.  In this episode, Ricardo details this cash-recycling method investors can use TODAY to build a six-figure-producing real estate portfolio, even if you have little experience.

In this week's Vancouver real estate update, we dive into the latest data and indicators painting a complex picture of the market. We start with the Housing Affordability Index, a measure of median household income against mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities. According to this index, Canadian homes have never actually been considered affordable—not once in the last 40 years. The most affordable period came in the late 1990s, when the metric dipped to 34%, just shy of the “ideal” target of 33%. Today, affordability sits at 55%. While that's a meaningful improvement from the record high of 63.5% in Q4 2023, it still remains well above the threshold of sustainable home ownership.Interestingly, Canadian affordability is now at the same level it was in 1990—just before a decade-long improvement in affordability followed. Whether or not that trend repeats remains to be seen. RBC's latest forecast doesn't think so. They project affordability will bottom later this year around 52%, then begin worsening again in 2026.On the inflation front, May CPI came in at 1.7%, unchanged from April. This marks the 18th consecutive month within the Bank of Canada's 1–3% target range. Core inflation registered at 2.9%, the upper end of the band but still acceptable. Mortgage interest costs remain a key driver, adding 0.4% to the CPI. It's important to note that most other countries exclude mortgage interest from their inflation basket. Without it, Canada's inflation would have been closer to 1.3%. Rented accommodations contributed 0.3%, but StatsCan's data appears to lag. While they report rents up 4.3% annually, Rentals.ca shows a 3.3% decline in the last year. Turning to interest rate expectations: markets are only pricing in a 30% chance of a rate cut at the July 30th Bank of Canada meeting. And as of now, there is just one more rate cut expected for the remainder of 2025. That outlook has cooled considerably, given earlier projections of more aggressive easing.Now to the July 2025 housing stats. Total home sales in Greater Vancouver hit 2,186 units in June, down 9.5% from last year and a staggering 26% below the 10-year average. It was the second slowest June on record—worse than the Global Financial Crisis and COVID shutdowns. This follows what was already the slowest May on record. The spring market never materialized, and current indicators suggest a muted summer and fall ahead.New listings reached 6,301 in June, up 10% year-over-year but down 5% from May. Inventory sits at 16,852 active listings, down 1% month-over-month but still 19% higher than a year ago and 44% above the 10-year average. At the time of reporting, inventory has climbed to over 18,200 active listings. The Sales-to-Active-Listings ratio remains at 13%—signaling a balanced market—for the 13th straight month. Detached homes are at 10%, townhomes at 17%, and condos at 14%.Prices continue to slide. The Home Price Index (HPI) dropped for the third straight month in 2025, down 0.3% month-over-month to $1,173,100. That puts prices 2.8% lower than one year ago. The median price stayed flat at $985,000, but remains up $70,000 year-to-date. The average price rose $9,000 to $1,275,000, its highest point in 2025, and up $68,000 YTD.The Vancouver housing market remains stable but sluggish and perhaps increasingly so. Affordability is slowly improving but remains historically poor _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Don't buy rental properties? What if there were investment properties that made way more cash flow than rentals (we're talking $2,000 or more per month)? These unique properties are often cheaper than rentals but command higher income. You don't need any special skills to run one, and you can own them while working a full-time job, accelerating your track to early retirement. Want to know what they are? We're giving the exact property types (and profits) in today's episode. Tony Robinson, host of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, and Nate Weintraub, head of Calico Content and copywriter for BiggerPockets, both ditched the long-term rental route years ago. The stress, low cash flow, and speed to scale weren't worth it. Tony went one route, buying short-term rentals and eventually scaling into a money-making boutique hotel. Nate decided he'd had it with toilets, so he bought the ultimate toiletless investment—a self-storage facility.  Today, they're sharing their profit numbers, rents, and the cost of their investments (which are surprisingly affordable). Plus, how many hours do these take to run? When Tony isn't hosting our sister podcast, and Nate isn't doing podcast SEO, how do they handle the day-to-day operations? And finally, can they convince Dave that long-term rentals aren't superior?  In This Episode We Cover How much you can make with a boutique hotel or self-storage facility (it's a lot) The surprisingly affordable prices of buying these “bigger” real estate deals Finding hotels, motels, and self-storage facilities for sale in your market  How much time it takes to run a short-term rental or self-storage facility  The risks you must know before trying either of these strategies  And So Much More!

Five rental properties are all you need to change your life. This income alone could cover all your bills, allowing your entire paycheck to go toward investing as you're fast-tracked to financial freedom and early retirement. Even if you've got a demanding job with long hours and limited free time, investing in real estate is STILL the right move. Today's guest was able to utilize her (very limited) downtime to build a rental portfolio of six units, all while managing her hectic day job. Now, she's in a great position to retire early and is even eyeing her dream retirement house as we speak. Jessica Cruel is editor-in-chief at Allure & SELF, but before the big title, she was living in expensive Newark, New Jersey, looking to invest in real estate while making less than six figures a year. After watching her ex-boyfriend successfully do a real estate deal, she thought, “If he can do it, I can do it better.” So, she bought a rental with multiple units but a sizable renovation checklist. It took her two years to turn it around, but now, she's cashing the checks that will fund her early retirement. Six years later, Jessica has a six-unit portfolio, with enough income to cover her bills and a hunger to build her small, slow-but-steady, financial freedom-enabling real estate portfolio. If she can do it in her pricey area, why can't you?  In This Episode We Cover The single best strategy for starting in real estate (it will save you a TON) Why you DON'T need a huge real estate portfolio to retire early  How to invest in real estate even with a demanding day job How NOT to get your AC unit stolen while you're away (seriously)  Buy your retirement home now!
