Hi Everyone, I hope this email finds you and your family well.

We have a special virtual edition of the meetup this month - the login details follow the description of our special guest presenters below. Please note that this meetup will also feature a series of fun 15 minute virtual networking sessions after the presentation where I will break the participants into smaller breakout rooms (around 6 people/room) and rotate the room participants every 15 minutes. A special thank you to my friend Yvone Yeung who volunteered her zoom account to make this session happen. Please login by 7:00 so we can start the presentation on time.

Agenda - Monday, May 11, 2020, 7pm start time

7:00 Login and Introduction

7:10 Presentation “Making a Change While Makin’ Some Cha-ching!” - Sarosh Anwar & Mark Kerwin

8:00 (or whenever presentation questions end)

8:50 Wrap-up

9:00 End

In this presentation Mark and Sarosh will talk about how they have up-leveled quickly through finding, negotiating and securing a portfolio of 25 homes in Cleveland OH. People will learn about lessons learned in skillful negotiations and insights gained through the process of working with a very experienced mentor and coach. They will share with the group how working on a 10x scale and on a different level has pushed them beyond their comfort zone but into their dream life zone much faster. Key takeaways that people will learn will be about a recession-proof niche that very few people know about, with a huge pent-up and growing demand and very little supply. The audience will come away feeling energized, empowered and ready to profit from a great cash flowing model while helping people in need with affordable housing in a massively growing market.

Sarosh Anwar immigrated to Canada alone in 2007 driving across the border in a rental car and landing on a friend’s couch for a few months. She bought her first no-money-down Toronto triplex from the Hell’s Angels 2 weeks after her border crossing. Fast-forward 3 years after immigrating, she had built her own business amassing a rental property portfolio worth over $2.7 million built on inspired hustle, strategy and self-belief—all while also working in the non-profit sector earning peanuts! Sarosh is a versatile and dynamic leader with 13 successful years in real estate investing as well as a rewarding and impactful career in government and social services. After owning and managing 48 doors in the GTA, she became interested in the US market and in remote real estate investing and is currently active in Cleveland OH. Her new focus is on affordable housing markets and the high cash-flow niche of group homes.

Mark Kerwin is a fun, passionate and creative speaker, author, coach and mentor with 13 successful years in real estate investing and over 35 years doing meditation instruction. He loves to help real estate investors with wellness design and meditation so that the wealth-building adventure is balanced with peace and fulfilment. Mark has had success and experience in all aspects of real estate investing in residential markets, and he will be licensed as a real estate sales representative this summer. His time spent helping people coming out of prison with a social enterprise helped him find his purpose to help the underserved with affordable housing.

Mark and Sarosh are the co-founders of CAN-USA Investment Group and www.AllAboutFreedom.Club, a website dedicated to liberating people's energy and time through real estate investing.

Post: Barrie Ontario real estate agent recommendation

Hi Barrie Ontario investors - would you have an agent you could recommend to me? Someone specializing in SFH / residential that would ideally have both rental and flip experience - or at least great sales/listing experience. A farm market on the north side of Barrie gets you bonus points. :)

Thanks in advance!

Please click the "Attend Event" button above or PM me if you plan to attend! Address is in the box above. Also, PM me if you'd like to get on the google reminder list for future meetups.

This meetup is a networking event for anyone living in (or visiting!) Toronto who invests or is interested in investing in real estate anywhere in the US. This is a regular event, usually once per month on the 2nd Monday.  No pitching or selling, just a venue to share experiences and resources for those of us actively investing in the US and anyone interested in learning more about investing in US real estate.

This month we have a guest presenter:  Andriy Makoviychuk. Andriy is an experienced Canadian investor in US real estate and will be presenting on how to buy 5 houses at a time in the US!

Here's the rough agenda:

6:00 - 7:15 Welcome Mingle and general discussion

7:15 - 7:30 Quick Introductions

7:30 - 7:45 Group discussion (Topic TBD)

7:45 - 8:15 Presentation and follow-up discussion (How to buy 5 houses at once)

8:15 - 9:00+ Mingle / Discussion

Future meetups are generally 2nd Monday of each month. They're planned as follows:

  • Monday, April 20 (3rd Monday because 2nd Monday is Easter Monday)
  • Monday, May 11

***Please support our hosts at the Frog by purchasing some drinks/food while attending the meetup - they are running a business and it's not sustainable for us to use their venue if we don't makes some purchases.***

Thanks

A quick correction regarding the February meetup - it's planned for Wednesday, Feb. 12 (not Monday, Feb. 10 as listed above).

This month's meetup promises to be another great one - see you there!
