Canada is a wonderful place. Full of amazing people doing amazing things. Petr Kafka is one of those types of people. Not only does he have a PhD, but he also has intimate knowledge of the commercial retail space right across Canada. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, he breaks down how mismanaged malls present amazing opportunities for investors. He also shares his own personal journey of investing and just wait until you hear about his first investment! A pure home run.

We are always short term paranoid and long term optimistic when it comes to real estate. One of the reasons we're optimistic is because we study the worst possible case scenarios when it comes to real estate so that we can prepare for what's next. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, that's exactly what we do with Rob Minton from Cleveland and Preston Letts from Chicago who were both running real estate businesses through 2008. You'll hear what happened to property prices, rents and how they handled the crash. You can find Preston @PrestonLetts on Instagram and Rob Minton over at www.RenegadeMillionaireBlog.com.

We met Greybrook Realty Partners co-CEO's a few years back and somehow they let us meet with them several times as we were trying to figure out if they were the real deal or not.

We had never met anyone who had invested with large developers like they were. They answered a ton of our questions and we've had a great relationship with them ever since.

On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show we go behind the scenes with D'Arcy McConvey and Dylan Kent to describe how they work. We also chat about Toronto's real estate trends, Canada's population trends and what we're all seeing "on the streets" from investors all over the world.

Enjoy!

Andre Hart is someone who is carving out his own path in life and we admire him for it. He did a year's worth of research and due diligence on Rock Star before jumping in to actually buy properties but once he did there was no holding him back. He started only four years ago, but he's built a team and has some amazing real estate stories already. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show Andre shares his story of being a Toronto Police Officer, moving from Montreal to Toronto and now to Ottawa, buying income properties, handling students, converting a property and more! Andre has an amazing attitude, nothing gets in his way and we feel grateful to have crossed paths with him. Enjoy the show!

We're obviously big fans of real estate, but that doesn't mean we're blind to any possible crashes or corrections. Although we can never predict these things accurately, we can prepare for them. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, we sit down with Mike Desormeaux to discuss the 1990 Toronto real estate crash, the 2007 U.S. real estate crash, and share some of the latest activity we're seeing "on the streets" right across the Golden Horseshoe. Enjoy the show!!

On this episode, Eric Clearly shares his story and the birth of Oranglist along with some great property management tips and stories. Enjoy the show!!

It's always great to chat with people who are actually doing what they talk about. Danielle Chiasson is one of those!

When Alex walked in the doors at Rock Star as a 19-year-old to pitch us on doing an internship, we were fairly interested. But then when he busted out his presentation on the plans he had for our social media strategy, we were immediately sold. He's proven to be a great contributor to the team here at Rock Star and we're blessed and grateful to work alongside him. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, we chat about University, social media strategy, starting his own business and taking photos off the top of tall buildings! Enjoy the show!!

Mike quit his job at the government after catching the real estate bug to live life on his terms. He's just the kind of guy we love talking to. On this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show, Mike shares his story, the type of properties he purchased, and the spreadsheet strategy he used to decide quitting his job was the way to go. We also chat how we met at a Biohacking conference in Los Angeles, and Mike shared how he now runs Epic Living Academy (www.epiclivingacademy.com). Great guy and a fun talk, enjoy!

When we asked Daniel Ott to come in and share his story on this episode of The Your Life! Your Terms! Show we thought we were going to chat only about "tiny homes". But about 20 min into this episode, Daniel begins unpacking a huge potential opportunity for real estate investors in Ontario. As the housing crisis in Ontario gets worse, (the GTA is expected to grow 43% from 2016 to 2041) tiny homes may offer a unique solution to housing needs across the province... wait until you hear this! Daniel is a great guy and we'll definitely bring him back with updates for us all. You can check out his design company where he helps investors design legal duplexes (and more!) at www.WhiteWillowDesign.ca and his tiny homes company at www.TrueNorthTinyHomes.ca.
