The MapleMoney Show

Here on the MapleMoney show, we've covered stock and real estate investing, but never in the same episode. But that all changes this week. Cody Yeh is my guest, and he's here to explain how he combines real estate, stocks, and stock options to compound the growth of his investments.

Cody is a first-generation immigrant from Taiwan who came to Canada at the age of 18, went to university as an engineer, and eventually left his white-collar job. He's now a real estate investor and a Stock & Options Coach with a seven-figure investment portfolio.

In this episode, Cody Yeh shares how you can earn cash flows and a good amount of revenue from both real estate and stocks. He talks about the mindset you use in real estate that you can carry over to stocks investment so you can win long-term.
