The RECC Podcast

In this podcast, I'll be discussing what we do at our in-person events.

 In this episode, I reconnect with my audience and share my vision for the podcast and our local networking event. 

With Jacob from Fallcreek Partners, we dive into the world of medical office and syndication.

I use daily affirmations to enlarge my horizon
I use daily affirmations to influence my mood and my mindset
I put myself in a frame of mind that is positive, welcomes difficulties as opportunities to grow, learn and become a better business man
I frame the difficult projects I am dealing with in terms of I will overcome/succeed to remove the doubts in my mind and help me pull through
To change the way I think, influence my thoughts, which in turn influence everything in my personal ecosystem

life is not a dress rehearsal: make sure you have fun along the way |

their relationship with money: chill, not anxious about it

busy professional who has good insights when asked and a good business acumen
similar values: not just about money but also people, communities, giving back

Not many people know what a real estate investor is
Part I like least is landlord aspect so I don't discuss it
I enjoy finding deals, negotiating, coming up with a business plan
I don't really take investors' money so I don't try to talk about what I do
I am a little more excited now to talk about what I do since it has to do with development and affordable housing

The biggest mindset shift for me was moving away from secure government job to real estate investing
I remember wanting to work as a civil servant for the French government, ideally at university level, job security, vacations and pay cut
when I purchased my first property, took some mindset shift. I educated myself but also spent some time in prayer and meditation to prepare myself pssychologically for the shift
I went all in: property was 3 hour flight away in a different province, with a 1.5 hour car ride, first investment was a fourplex, put in all I had with funds for roof and 3 window renovations
today when I want to enlarge my horizon, I use affirmations, which will be the topic of next month's episode

start off small with a simple repair
increase to bigger jobs
get a contract before doing larger jobs
don't micro manage
