“The biggest benefit has been in supporting our understanding of real estate investing and analyzing the 4 ways to win, understanding different strategies techniques and resources networking and coaching. It has allowed Grant to transition to full time real estate investing and we are currently in an acquisition and building portfolio phase that has moved our involvement to full-time positions. 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!

2. 2x single family homes being renovated into 5 units

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.”
