By focusing on the power of networks, our guests, Ava and August, a power couple who specialize in building meaningful connections and living in the abundance mindset, have cultivated an incredible life. On the show, we discuss various aspects of being in business together with our spouses, with a special focus on mindset and investing from Canada into the US. We delve into several topics, including:

• Their Criteria for US Investing for Canadians
•  Legal Structures used and how regulations changed
• What Canadians need to know about investing in the US
• Taxation from Canadian Perspective in US
• Selecting the right US Partners
• Marketing strategy evolved over time with Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

Realizing the pain points Canadian investors were facing in both of their fields of expertise, they founded CPI Capital. CPI Capital is a Canadian-based real estate investment firm, in the business of discovering, acquiring, improving and actively managing US Multifamily Rental Value-add Real Estate Assets. CPI specializes in identifying largely stabilized, revenue producing assets. They enter into strategic partnership with experienced active operators with local market experience in the high growth regions in the United States.

While the thought of working with your spouse in business scares many people, those who do achieve results faster, smoother, and in higher magnitudes. Reed Goosens and his wife, Erica, come on to talk about mindset, leveraging your spouse , and growing together as a couple. On the show. We trade ideas on:

• Spouses being able to identify blind spots in business
• Encouraging each other to jump into entrepreneurship
• Relying on your spouse to help you with areas you are weak
• How spousal intuition is worth its weight in gold

In 2012, Reed quit his job in Australia and moved halfway across the world to chase a goal. He moved to the US without a job, he had no established network and no family members for support. He backed himself and took a leap of faith. With limited funds, Reed purchased his first property all cash for $38,000 in late 2012. Since then Reed has co-founded Wildhorn Capital and now controls over $500 mill worth of US commercial real estate, and he has achieved financial freedom in the process! Reed is also the author of two best-selling books on Amazon: Investing in the US - The Ultimate Guide to US Real Estate, and 10,000 Miles to the American Dream - Our Story of Financial Freedom. Reed is also the host of the successful podcast called Investing in the US wherein he interviews real estate investors, business owners, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and go-getters who have successfully achieved financial freedom through investing here in the U.S. If Reed can move halfway across the world and achieve all that he has in such a short period of time, then so can the average American.
