How To Build A HUGE Real Estate Portfolio With JV Partners

Have you ever wondered how a couple can turn their lives in a few short years by diving into the realm of real estate investing?

Thank you for tuning into ep16 of the "Inspired To Invest" real estate podcast. To watch instead of listen, click here.

This episode uncovers the fascinating journey of Nicole Fiori and her husband Colin, who left the comforts of familiar ground to plant roots in Vancouver in 2013. 

A simple weekend workshop transformed their lives, pushing them to venture from single-family homes into joint ventures, capital raising, multi-family properties, and even land development. They've been kind enough to share their motto of connecting good people with good homes, and how this dedication to learning and networking has been fundamental to their success.

This couple's journey hasn't been a walk in the park. Over the past seven years, they've faced and overcome numerous challenges, from qualifying for mortgages to flipping multifamily properties. Having started with house hacking, they've built an impressive portfolio that today stands as a testament to the countless benefits of investing in multifamily real estate properties. 

Listen as Nicole sheds light on how this unique investment opportunity can provide a pathway for those with numerous assets to build their wealth substantially.

As we round up this enlightening conversation, we shift gears from a focus on immediate cash to building long-term wealth, learning invaluable lessons along the way. Nicole also shares how they decided not to retire Colin early, instead opting to shift to land development.

This episode is a testament to the importance of reclaiming time when it comes to investing, and Nicole is here to share their wisdom with you. So sit back, relax, and prepare to be inspired.
