This allows flexibility in our work and personal schedules. We have a great community of like mined friends and investors and are enjoying being creative and innovative in our real estate investment journey. We are super excited about the what the future has to offer!

Through the knowledge Keyspire has provided we have also been able to provide freedom for our sons to follow career paths of their choosing knowing they have financial security.”

How Grant & Corene started at Keyspire and what they have achieved since joining:

“We attended the Keyspire 3-day workshop /training in the fall of 2019 starting our real estate journey, subsequently attending the Keyspire summit in January 2020 and continued coaching.

1. Private lending of RSP (RSA) and TFSA (maximizer)
2. 2x single family homes being renovated into 5 units
3. 13x Purpose built turnkey new build single family homes with legal secondary suite (6x purchase 7x joint venture) Currently expanding for another 40 plus units for JV/(Joint Venture)/Sell
4. Currently working on land development for Town Home (or single family home with legal secondary suite on 5 acres)

Grant has transitioned to full time real estate investor and Corene plans to transition to full time real estate investor 2022. In 2020 we have focused, as a priority, on additional education through meet ups online and in person training and networking. Equally important we have watched the market especially due to the impact of the pandemic. This has allowed us to be flexible and modify our strategy to reduce risk reach a larger tenant profile and deliver turn key “in demand’ real estate investments with high returns.”

Before Grant & Corene joined Keyspire they had their our own principle residence and had completed renovations to increase its value. They were working full time as an IT consultant and Child and Family Psychotherapist. Both had previous background and experience as a general contractor and commercial designer.
