Throughout his career, he constantly emphasized the need to think creatively, and so began his journey into real estate investing. His real estate adventure started with an aborted pre-construction condo purchase. After fully understanding the financial implications, he calculated he'd be outmatched and backed out within the 10-day cooling period. Determined not to be defeated, he opened a map of Ontario. His research pointed him to Windsor, a city on an impressive growth trajectory. In Windsor, he bought his first property, a single-family home, for $257,000. Thanks to creative financing, the down payment came from a mix of his savings, a loan from his parents quickly repaid via a line of credit. He was now cash flow positive, but his tenants stopped paying rent due to COVID-19. It was a hard setback but a lesson in due diligence and clear communication.

Being a landlord in Ontario comes with its own unique set of challenges. From slow eviction processes to dealing with damages left by tenants, these problems can often result in significant financial losses. Kayla Andrade, my guest for this week's episode, sheds light on these issues. Kayla's journey into understanding landlord-tenant relationships started close to home in her childhood community in Newfoundland.
