In this episode of the PVP Podcast, I sit down with Erwin Zito from IWIN Wealth Planning to talk about the reality of real estate investing as a Canadian and why more investors are shifting to the United States for better cash flow, stronger landlord rights, and more scalable property management.
Erwin has been a landlord for over 21 years and has done nearly half a billion dollars in income property transactions. In this conversation, we break down the real reasons Canadian deals often do not work anymore, especially in tenant friendly provinces like Ontario, Quebec, and BC.
In this episode we cover:
- Why Erwin sold close to half his Canadian portfolio around 2023
- Why he started buying in the U.S. in 2024 and what led him to Texas
- How landlord tenant rules impact your risk, your cash flow, and your sanity
- Why remote investing is easier in the U.S. with institutional grade property managers
- The truth about evictions, rent default risk, and red tape in Canada
- How taxes, inflation, and diversification drive smarter investing decisions
- Why cash flow matters more than appreciation when markets shift
If you are a Canadian investor thinking about buying rental property in the U.S., this episode will help you understand what to look for: landlord friendly states, areas with job growth, strong tenant incomes, and deals that cash flow from day one.
