Convince Your Parents to Buy You a Condo 👀

Sounds crazy…

But let’s run the numbers.

If you rent a one-bedroom condo in downtown Toronto today, you’re probably paying around:

$2,200 per month.

Over 5 years that equals:

💸 $132,000

And when you move out…

What do you get back?

$0.

No equity.
No investment.
No wealth built.

Now imagine a different strategy.

Instead of renting a 1-bedroom…

You buy a 2-bedroom condo.

Your monthly cost might be around:

$2,800/month.

But here’s the trick.

You rent the second bedroom to a roommate.

In many Toronto condos that room could rent for about:

$1,200/month.

Now let’s look at what happens over 5 years:

📈 Mortgage paydown → $43,000
📈 Property appreciation (3%) → $137,000
📈 Roommate contribution → $37,000

Total potential wealth created:

💰 $218,000

Compare that to renting:

$0.

This is exactly how many investors start.

Buy a condo → build equity → upgrade later.

And right now the gap between condos and houses in Toronto is growing again.

Which means condos are often the first step into the market.

Not the final step.

Now, I’ll ask the question again: Curious what people think:

Would you rather

A) Rent and keep flexibility
B) Buy a condo and build equity

I don’t just challenge myself for me—I do it for my kids.

Life is tough. They’ll face setbacks and moments of doubt. I want them to see that you never truly know what you’re capable of until you try.

29029 Everesting was a big challenge I took on, but after finishing, a lot in life feels easier.

That’s the lesson I hope they carry: hard things don’t break you—they build you.

Recently, I completed 29029 Everesting.

Many times I wanted to quit. It would have been easy.

But I learned that if I took a short break, reset, and refocused, I always had more in me. That’s what got me to the finish line.

Running a business is no different. When things get tough, step back, recharge, and then get laser-focused again. You’ll find strength you didn’t know you had.

Challenges like 29029 are a reminder that discomfort is temporary, but growth lasts forever.

29029 Everesting in Whistler was one of the toughest physical challenges I’ve ever taken on—29,029 vertical feet in under 36 hours. What made it unforgettable was sharing the experience with my life partner, my wife, Laura.

We pushed each other, reminded one another to keep going, and celebrated every climb together. Crossing that finish line wasn’t just about grit—it was about proving to ourselves (and to our kids) that we can face challenges head-on, together.

That’s what makes us great partners. Laura, thank you for joining me on this adventure.

First piece of advice if you want to sound like an investor to your clients? Talk to them. 🗣️

It sounds simple, but most people don’t do it enough. Have real conversations. Ask questions. Listen. 👂

Then, provide them with certainty. ✅ Help them understand the market, not just today, but over the long term. I look at real estate over a 30-year horizon—because tenants pay down your mortgage 🏠 and time smooths out all the peaks and valleys 📈.

That’s how you build trust, and that’s how you build investors. 💼

DM me for more insights on giving your clients confidence in their investments. 📩

The smartest investors I know aren’t just asking “what’s my property worth today?” — they’re asking “what will it be worth in 5 years?” 📈

Right now, we’re in a down market. That’s reality. But if you look at the next 5 years — based on demographics 👥, interest rates 💰, and future supply 📉 — there’s a clear path forward.

These are the conversations I'm having with my clients every day:
➡️ Ride it out?
➡️ Reposition?
➡️ Double down while prices are low?

You don’t need to make emotional decisions. You need a forward-looking strategy.

That’s how you build wealth 🔑.

07/14/2025

When people ask me what I’m investing in right now… my answer is simple: downtown Toronto condos 🏙️.

They’ve come down in value more than any other asset class in Canada 📉—but that’s exactly what makes them the best deal 💸.

✅ No wild COVID run-up
✅ Cash flow potential returning by 2026
✅ Young professionals still want to live here
✅ Massive supply shortage coming by 2028-2030 (no cranes, no builds 🚧)

We're in 2025 now... and the pipeline is drying up fast.

If you're looking for cash flow 💵 + appreciation 📈, this is your window.

Buy when it’s quiet. Sell when it’s loud.

10 years ago, I said this—and it’s still true today: the most valuable real estate in Toronto is where you can walk to work.

As back-to-office mandates return and traffic in the city gets worse, walkability isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

I just spoke with top office leasing pros who work with the biggest tenants in the world. And guess where their clients want to be? Around Union Station. That’s still the core. That’s still where the money flows.

Invest where the demand will always be.

📚 Great Book I’m Reading Right Now
Loving The Focus Edge: How Entrepreneurs Get S*t Done* by Phil Randazzo.

As someone juggling business, investing, family, and big goals—I’m always looking for ways to sharpen my focus and increase output without burning out. This book cuts through the fluff and delivers practical strategies for actually getting things DONE as an entrepreneur.

💡 If you’re building something big and need clarity, systems, or just a kick in the ass—this is worth the read.

Have you read it? Or have another book that helped you level up this year? Drop it in the comments.👇

🎯 Real estate is a game of strategy.

One client sold at a loss—but upgraded to a bigger home at an even steeper discount. Why? Because both properties dropped in value, making it a smart lateral move. 💡

With inventory (including phantom builder units) stacking up and interest rates expected to drop to 3.5% by year-end, now might be the window to level up your real estate game before the market shifts again.

📉 Inventory is rising
📈 Smart buyers are positioning
🏠 Will you be ready when rates drop?

🎥 The #1 Mistake I See Buyers Make in a Down Market
I’m breaking down the biggest error buyers are making right now—and how you can actually take advantage of the Toronto market while others wait on the sidelines. 📉📈

Have questions or want to talk strategy? DM me—I’m here to help you make your next move. 💬🏙️

Right now, we’re in a true buyer’s market in Toronto — especially in the condo segment.

✅ Pros:
➡️ Prices are depressed — meaning you can buy at a discount
➡️ More negotiating power for buyers
➡️ More choice in the market

⚠️ Cons:
➡️ Harder to sell quickly if you need to exit
➡️ Some fear in the market = fewer buyers = more opportunity for those who act

Bottom line: The best investors know… you make money when you BUY, not when you sell.

If you’re looking to build long-term wealth, this is when you buy low and set yourself up for strong future gains.

👉 The window won’t last forever. The smart money is moving NOW.
