Have you been trying to attract joint venture partners but have seen no results? Do you feel like you're wasting your time and resources on ineffective personal branding strategies? In this episode, you will be able to turn that around and make your dreams of successful collaboration a reality! This week's podcast episode is a recording I did with my client, Sarah Larbi or her podcast Where Should I Invest?  Sarah was the first client I worked with in real estate investing over 5 years ago and was the catalyst for my finding this area of business to focus on.  It all started with her looking to replace her corporate income with additional revenue from activities like coaching and sponsorship. We talk about the moves we made and the difference and impact it had.  We learned to create compelling content and share their story through various mediums such as newsletters, videos and blog posts. Our focus was on building trust and credibility with my audience, which eventually resulted in them attracting like-minded investors who were interested in collaborating with them.  Success was due to consistent efforts and a targeted approach to connecting with the right people. They came to understand the significance of building a robust email list. This allowed them to communicate directly with potential partners and keep them engaged with their stories. The ROI was extraordinary, and it all stemmed from their commitment to cultivating their personal brand.   In this episode, you will learn to: Elevate your personal brand as a real estate investor to catch the eye of potential collaborators. Craft compelling content that showcases your expertise and solidifies your industry presence. Produce targeted events or podcasts to carve out a distinct space for yourself within the real estate realm. Fine-tune your investment strategies to capitalize on current market trends and opportunities. Harness the power of email marketing and consistent content output to drive meaningful results. For every dollar you spend on email, you get back $38. By ROI, it's by far the best investment you can have. - Paul Copcutt The resources mentioned in this episode are: Identify your target audience and get clear about who you want to do business with as a joint venture partner. Create content that answers the common questions your target audience may have about real estate investing. Utilize video content to reach your audience, as it is a popular and effective medium for communication. Develop a simple, yet professional, one-page website that showcases who you are, what you do, and how you can help people. Implement a strategy to capture email addresses from your website visitors, allowing you to build an email list and communicate with them on a regular basis. Consistently create and post well-written articles on your website at least once a month to improve search engine rankings and visibility. Focus on having quality conversations with potential joint venture partners, rather than aiming for a high number of likes and thumbs up on social media. Be patient and persistent, as it can take six months to a year for your website and content to gain traction and visibility on search engines like Google.

The podcast this week discusses the reasons why people are looking to pivot to midterm rentals, citing reasons such as the control over the guest population that midterm rentals offer. It also discusses how the economy affects the short-term rental market, and how this can be an advantage for midterm rentals. It is becoming harder to run short-term rentals, as municipalities are banning them or putting restrictions on them. Mid-term rentals are a good option for those looking to still make money in the rental market, as they are less likely to face rules and regulations. Location is important when considering a mid-term rental, as it should be in an area that is attractive to potential guests. Guests Sarah Larbi and Aisha Govani explain that it is important to target guests and make connections with them in order to increase occupancy levels at a property. They also advise that property owners ensure that the finishes and renovations at their property are of high quality in order to attract and retain guests. Sarah Larbi and Aisha Govani are the co-founders of Mid Term Rental Properties Inc. an executive and corporate property rental company. They offer a variety of services, including housekeeping, lawn care, and chef services. They are currently working on expanding their services to include preferred vendor discounts and meal delivery.

This week's podcast guest is Sandro Ferreira, a Brazilian Canadian entrepreneur, real estate investor, certified coach, and professional public speaker. Sandro talks about his journey from working a nine-to-five job to becoming a full-time real estate investor and shares some tips on how to be successful in the industry.Sandro immigrated to Canada in 2010 with the intention of buying a property. He found a condo that he liked but didn't have the money for the down payment. He decided to use the money he had set aside for taxes to make the down payment, and ended up financing the purchase through the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA)! He then bought a second condo in the same building for investment purposes. In 2017, he started renting rooms in the investment condo to students, and the business was doing well until the pandemic hit in 2020. At that point, he realized he needed to get more education in order to continue growing his business. In 2019 he met a mentor, and by 2021 he had graduated from the program and owned 114 properties.Sandro discusses the importance of having a positive mindset when pursuing goals. Sandro talks about how he was turned down many times when trying to get into the real estate investing business, but he never gave up. He says that he always pushes himself to prove people wrong and that he has never wanted to be the smartest person in the room. He feels that it is important to choose one thing and stick with it in order to be successful.Sandro talks about his passion for real estate and how it has helped him to transform lives. He also discusses how he uses coaching to help him cope with bad days. When asked about a major lesson learned in his journey, he talks about the importance of following your dreams.The major lesson is that we should never doubt our own abilities. If we believe that we can do something, we are more likely to be successful. This is especially important when starting out in business, as we may be limited by our own beliefs. To be successful, we should surround ourselves with people who have already achieved what we want to achieve, so that they can provide guidance and support. Finally, we should invest in our education so that we can change our lives and the lives of those around us.

Tracey Fines is a real estate investor who has been flipping houses for 27 years. She is passionate about helping others achieve their real estate investing goals. In her recent presentation at a real estate investing event in Ottawa, she impressed Daniel St Jean and Victoria Cluney so much that they invited her to be a guest on the podcast. During the podcast, Tracy shares her story and some tips on how to be successful in real estate investing. Tracey Fines spoke about her journey from being a nine-to-five employee to an entrepreneur, and how emotional the transition can be. She also talked about how she made the leap and what propelled her to continue doing what she loves. She started off "accidentally" in the property business 15 years ago. She was able to buy her first property and then took advantage of the opportunity to buy a luxury flip property. She talks about how she found these properties and how the financial situation in North America allows people to own their own property. Beginning her career as a corporate interior designer in 1990, six years later, she transitioned out of the nine-to-five job and into flipping homes. She did this for a number of years until she was finally able to leave her day job and pursue design full-time. When taking a break from her career to have a baby, she then decided to continue flipping properties full-time.  She is always looking to challenge herself and grow, which has led to the success she has had with more complex flips. She has done up to three multimillion-dollar flips at a time in the past but prefers to focus on one big project at a time now. Her biggest project to date is a 10 million-dollar house in Yorkville. Tracey Fines talks about how people can get stronger and grow from challenges, and how viewing challenges as opportunities for growth can lead to more success. She also talks about her own journey with personal development and therapy, and how she has used her challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. She attributes her success to her ability to think creatively and see potential where others might not, as well as her willingness to take risks.

Daniel St Jean and Sarah Larbi interview Ryan Carson from Carson Law. They discuss common mistakes people make in real estate investing, and how to prevent them.  Ryan discusses the importance of estate planning for real estate investors. They say that it is often neglected or put on the back burner, but it is actually very important. Right now is a great time to do this kind of planning, because there are fewer deals being done. They also talk about opportunities in the market today. There has been a decrease in business volume due to the sharp increase in interest rates. However, prices have also come down correspondingly, so people can still have a good cash flow. They discuss how the current market conditions present an opportunity for investors. They note that prices are lower and there is less competition from other buyers, making it a good time to invest. 1. Even though interest rates have gone up, there are still many benefits to buying a property now, including lower prices and, 2. Ryan recommends that buyers include conditions in their contracts, such as inspections and finance approvals, in order to protect themselves. This episode discusses the importance of having a proper inspection done on a property before finalizing the purchase, as well as how the inspection can be used to negotiate a lower price. The question is whether it is better to buy a property with existing tenants in order to have the immediate cash flow or to buy a property intending to renovate it and then re-rent it at a higher rate. If the latter, the buyer needs to make sure that the seller agrees to terminate all existing leases prior to closing. It is better to have a vacant property when selling, as it is more marketable. If there are tenants in the property, they may try to stay even after being given notice, which can be a problem for the new buyer. The best way to deal with tenants in order to sell a property Ryan suggests giving the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement or terminating the tenancy so that the property can be listed empty. There is a risk that the tenants could come back if they are not given proper notice, but the speaker suggests that this is a risk worth taking in order to get the best possible price for the property. Ryan discusses the importance of ensuring that all paperwork is in order when terminating a tenant's lease in Ontario. They mention that the process can be tricky, and it is important to make sure that all notices are served correctly. Finally, Ryan Carson advises that anyone expecting to get vacant possession should leave themselves a buffer in case the tenants have not yet started packing. They also cover Joint Venture agreements. The number one tip for setting up a successful joint venture is to document the potential problems that could arise and how to exit the venture if those problems occur. Other important factors to consider include each partner's expected rate of return and what will happen if the project is unsuccessful. It is important to have well-documented and signed agreements in place from the beginning of a joint venture in order to avoid arguments and legal issues down the road. Additionally, all parties should have independent legal advice to ensure that the agreement is binding and enforceable. It is also important to have a plan in place for how to deal with additional capital needs that may arise during the course of the venture. The biggest mistake investors make when hiring a lawyer is waiting until the last minute to do so. This can often lead to missing out on potential opportunities to save money and protect themselves from legal issues down the road. It is important to involve a lawyer early on in the process of negotiating and closing a deal, as they can provide valuable input and help prevent any last-minute issues. It is recommended to pick a lawyer who specializes in real estate, rather than using a family lawyer or someone who...

In this podcast episode, Daniel St Jean and Victoria Cluney talk with Jacqueline Marshall, a real estate investor. Jacqueline covers her background and shares how she got started in real estate investing, despite not knowing anything about it at the time. She talks about how she is the poster child for someone who can be successful in real estate investing without having everything figured out beforehand. Jacqueline got into investing in real estate accidentally, but after a few years, she decided to make it intentional. She realized that the passive income from her rentals was replacing her income from dental hygiene, so she decided to focus on real estate investing full-time.  She shares her experience flipping houses, and how she got into the business with no prior knowledge or experience and used YouTube to teach herself DIY skills. She emphasizes the importance of finding an investor-friendly real estate agent and shares her strategy for flipping houses in the current market landscape. Jacqueline has been investing in real estate for over 7 years and teaching others how to do the same for 2 years. She believes that anyone can be successful in real estate investing, regardless of experience or resources, as long as they have grit and determination. This was instilled in Jacqueline Marshall from a young age by her mother. Even after facing challenges, she has persevered and achieved a great deal of success in her career as a real estate investor. She recommends that new investors focus on one asset class and gain knowledge about that area before moving on to other investment opportunities. Successful people have to be prepared to face challenges and setbacks. They also have to be willing to work hard and be tenacious.  The conversation also covers the importance of confidence for women in male-dominated industries. It cites Jacqueline as an example of a woman who has been successful in real estate despite not fitting the stereotype of what a "successful" investor looks like. She emphasizes the importance of taking control and doing research in order to be knowledgeable about what you are hiring for.

Over the years, while working full-time, she was able to leverage her salary to invest in real estate with her first property purchase in 2015 at just 23 years old.

What do they bring to the table that's different that makes them stand out? - Paul Copcutt “First and foremost, is spending some time understanding what are those emotional attributes and skills that people associate with you, but not with someone else.” - Paul Copcutt “The other element of branding is to specialize, at least initially, to try and be something to everyone.” - Paul Copcutt “A great thing would be, what are the 10 things that you've been asked 100 times by potential clients. Well, okay, shoot a video for every one of those ten. 30 seconds, grab your phone, shoot yourself, stick it up on LinkedIn.” - Paul Copcutt “The one thing to keep in mind is, perhaps not to try to do too much everywhere, but maybe pick one medium that you're most comfortable with.” - Paul Copcutt “Everything I see you do, everything I see you interact with, or 90% of the time, it goes back to ,oh, yes, that's part of your brand.” - Paul Copcutt “I used to say, constancy, kind of working at it all the time. But I kind of dropped that now. It's not necessarily that you need to be doing it all the time, but you need to have context. It needs to have relevance.” - Paul Copcutt “I always say with branding, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Let's look at the brands. The chances are, if you look at the brands you know, and love, not just people but products and services, they've taken time to build. I mean, Apple is not a phone that just came out three weeks ago.” - Paul Copcutt “Don't try to be somebody you're not. You already have the qualities that make you who you are. Leverage those.” - Paul Copcutt *This interview was originally published by Sarah Larbi on the Where Should I Invest podcast in January 2019.   Resources mentioned: Pivot Podcast lumen5 Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn E:podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

With a clear vision and personal branding that she worked on, she was able to put herself out there. That's how you make connections and for people to reach you.

In terms of a deal in general, if you're looking for some opportunity to create a brand and you share what you're doing, share it on social media, share it on LinkedIn. If you're doing it professionally, you probably want something like a website to be able to have to send people to rather than, email or Gmail or Hotmail.” - Sarah Larbi “Just get started. Done is better than perfect.” - Sarah Larbi “From a branding perspective, it was nice to be able to work with somebody that's been able to help other people in different capacities and also specifically real estate related.” - Sarah Larbi “I think the other part of branding is being able to create those connections. If you're out there, you've branded, you've got a website, you've got a path and a plan, the doors open so much for you. Even my podcast, just making sure that it's frequent and it's actually planned properly. And it's done well.” - Sarah Larbi “From a culture perspective, that's probably what I paid the most attention to, versus what brands have.” - Sarah Larbi Connect with Sarah Larbi: sarahlarbi.com Instagram Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn E:podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

It doesn't cost you anything until you need it; but have the money ready for your next one, so that if you do see something that you want, you've got the money and you have at that point can refinance." "There's other ways to refinance, it's not always doing a cash out and pulling out the money and having a higher mortgage."

We are BAAACKKK!  And we survived FOUR days and three nights in Las Vegas!!! LOL   I have a group of real estate buddies I hang out with for several reasons, we all like to have fun, we have flexible work schedules to meet during the week so we can reserve weekends for work and family, and most importantly we love to talk business and real estate.  Business and pleasure wrapped into one, dropped in the middle of the Las Vegas strip for some masterminding and fun.   The masterminding could have been better as it took much of a back seat to the fun HAHAHA.  The initial plan was to block off six hours allotting 30 mins for each member to share their 2017 accomplishments and 2018 goals.  Unfortunately, like the vodka we were drinking, those 30 minutes were distilled down to 5-6 minutes each. That was all the time we had to spare.  Those who presented first enjoyed a how you say, more sober audience...   We hit a club, gambled, ate many great $15 steaks, saw O: the Cirque de Soleil show, shot some automatic machine guns, raced some exotic cars, mine was a Lamborghini Huracan, zip lined  the length of Freemont St., rode ATV's in the Nevada desert, dined at the Heart Attack Grill, we fought zombies in a live urban warfare simulation, enjoyed a libation or twenty, etc… what we didn't do was sleep much so I personally slept about 25 of the next 48 hours when we got home.   It all started with Westjet announcing direct flights to Las Vegas from Hamilton Airport and our return flight was only $300!!!  We then price shopped everything and Groupon'd almost of the activities.   The real estate investor in me enjoyed touring through the hotels thinking how grateful I was other gamblers were paying for me to enjoy the beautiful casinos as my gambling losings only totalled $15.  I don't gamble. I mean it's fun but I'm more interested in earning returns like investing in real estate.   The trip was simply epic.  We shared a ton of laughs and a very, very memorable trip. I can't recommend Hamilton Airport enough and I thought our hotel New York, New York was great for our frugal purposes.   On to this week's podcast!   The Millennial Retirement Plan: Seven Houses at Age 33 w Sarah Larbi   Welcome ladies and gentlemen investors across Canada, the greatest country in the world.  My name is Erwin Szeto, aka Mr. Hamilton bringing you the Truth About Real Estate Investing show for Canadians where it is my job to bring you the tactics, education and lessons of real estate multi-millionaires. What makes these people successful? These world class entrepreneurs don't have superpowers so let's find out together how they are killing it so we too may reproduce their results to create financial freedom for ourselves and those closest to us. So lets get to it!   Sarah Larbi, is technically a millennial but is a contradiction to the stereotypes as she's always working at her job, portfolio or self development AND she doesn't have any social media accounts.  She's a long term buy and hold investor whom focuses on cash flowing properties and buying under market value whenever possible. She has done this by being a market expert in one specific area; Brantford Ontario, and building a solid team of qualified professionals around her. Sarah is also the co-founder of the SO REIT Club which holds monthly networking and real estate education meetings for investors. Sarah was also featured on the cover of the Toronto Star in June 2017 for being a young millennial building a portfolio of properties through hard work, dedication and commitment without the help of parents or relatives.   Show notes: SOREITClub https://www.facebook.com/SoReitClub/ REIN's ACRE (Erwin's $300 discount code ERWINSGUEST): http://info.reincanada.com/toronto-acre-2018 Brantford Paralegal Wenda Allicock: http://www.wendaallicock.com/ Sarah's website: https://sarahlarbi.com/ and email Sarah@sarahlarbi.com
