    Stop Running, Start Leading 🙌🏼

    You're doing 60 deals a year and still working 20-hour days. That's not success—that's a prison. I'm exposing the exact pivot that takes you from a high-volume agent to a true CEO. This isn't about working harder. It's about building a machine that works for you while you're on the golf course. If you're not incorporated, you're just a freelancer with a license. Time to level up. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWARDS: INCORPORATE NOW OR PAY 50% IN TAX 💸 – Running deals personally is financial suicide. A corporation lets you pay expenses (car, phone, condo) before taxes. HIRE AN OPERATIONS LEAD, NOT AN ASSISTANT 🧑‍💼 – Your first hire should be a future president, not a paper-pusher. Start them part-time with a path to equity. CONTENT IS YOUR 24/7 AGENT 🎥 – Stop chasing leads. Build a YouTube/TikTok channel. Use ChatGPT to generate topics that pull in buyers and sellers on autopilot. SCALE WITH SYSTEMS, NOT HUSTLE ⚙️ – At 60 deals, you're the bottleneck. Document your process. Systematize lead farming, paperwork, and closings. THE GOAL ISN'T 100 DEALS—IT'S FREEDOM 🏌️ – Building a business means you work on revenue generation, not administration. Your value is in deals, not documents. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you can't take a two-week vacation without your business collapsing, you don't own a business—you own a job." 🏝️ "Your CRM is worthless if you're the one updating it. Your job is to lead, not to log." 📊 "Agents chase commissions. CEOs build equity. Which one are you?" 👑 👇 READY TO TRANSITION FROM AGENT TO CEO? This is the blueprint. Implement one step this week. Your next 40 deals should fund your freedom, not your burnout. (⚠️ Note: This is for agents ready to evolve, not complain. If you're allergic to structure, stay solo.)  #RealEstateAgent #BusinessGrowth #ScaleYourBusiness #TaxStrategy #RealEstateCEO #KenDunn #AgentLife #RealEstateTips

    The Overseas Procurement Playbook 📕

    I was called a traitor for buying from China. Now I'm saving millions. Every major brand does it—Home Depot, Walmart, Marriott—and you can too. This isn't about politics; it's about profit. I'm exposing the exact system we use to source quality products for 80% less. If you're paying retail, you're funding someone else's vacation. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: ALIBABA IS YOUR SECRET WEAPON 🛡️ – It's not Amazon. It's a direct manufacturer connector. We bought a $500K CNC machine for $7,500. QUALITY IS GUARANTEED (HERE'S HOW) ✅ – Find manufacturers already supplying Home Depot or Canadian Tire. Use Alibaba's escrow system—they hold payment until you approve the goods. SAVE 50–80% ON EVERYTHING 💸 – Single items? Expect 50% off retail. Buying bulk? Save up to 80%. We sourced $300 Muskoka chairs for a fraction of the cost. NEVER PAY FOR SHIPPING 🚢 – Always include shipping in the negotiated price. Make the manufacturer responsible for delivery and delays. THIS SKILL SCALES GLOBALLY 🌎 – Master Chinese procurement, then apply the same principles to source food, materials, and equipment worldwide. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you're not buying direct, you're the customer—not the businessman." 🎯 "Your 'Made in North America' product was likely just assembled here. The parts came from overseas." 🧱 "Alibaba doesn't protect manufacturers. It protects YOU. Use it or get scammed." ⚠️ 👇 READY TO CUT YOUR COSTS BY 50%? This is the system Fortune 500 companies don't want you to know. Start with Alibaba. Start today. Stop funding the middleman. Become him. (⚠️ Note: This is for entrepreneurs and business owners, not casual shoppers. If you're afraid of logistics, stay retail.) #Procurement #Alibaba #Sourcing #BusinessTips #SaveMoney #Manufacturing #Entrepreneur #KenDunn

    ✅ 90% Occupancy: The Service Secret

    I flew to Barbados for one reason: to find out why hotels here are booked at 90% occupancy while others struggle. The answer isn't a secret—it's a system. I'm breaking down the exact strategy that works in paradise and how you can apply it TODAY to your short-term rentals in Canada. Stop guessing what guests want. Start giving them what they pay for. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: AMENITIES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE 🛁 – Every top-performing property in Barbados has a standout feature. Ours is the Mini Nordic Spa (hot tub, cold plunge, sauna)—it drives 30-40% more bookings. SERVICE IS YOUR WEAPON ⭐ – Impeccable, responsive service turns guests into evangelists. 25% of our annual bookings come from referrals alone. CREATE AN EXPERIENCE, NOT A RENTAL 🏝️ – People don't book a bed—they book a memory. Market the feeling, not the square footage. BARBADOS IS WINNING FOR A REASON 🛫 – With U.S. travel declining, Canadians and Europeans are flocking to alternative destinations. Your Canadian property can capture that demand—if you give them a reason to come. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If your property isn't booked at 80–90%, you're competing on price, not experience." 📉 "Your guests aren't paying for a cottage. They're paying for an escape. Start acting like it." 🧠 "Barbados doesn't have better weather than Canada. They have better marketing. Fix yours." 🎯 👇 WANT TO ADD A MINI NORDIC SPA TO YOUR PROPERTY? I own the company that builds them. Click the link below to get a 20% discount and learn how to finance it through your increased bookings. Stop renting. Start dominating. https://www.cottagedreamvacations.com https://www.canhottub.com (⚠️ Note: This is for serious hospitality operators. If you're still using stock photos and a slow response time, you're already behind.) #ShortTermRentals #HotelOccupancy #AirbnbHost #HospitalityBusiness #KenDunn #BarbadosTravel #MiniNordicSpa #RevenueBoost

    Is Recycling Capital Real? How Can You Get Involved? 🤔💵

    They said it couldn't be done. I call it Recycling Capital—and it's the single most powerful strategy in real estate investing. Here's the deal: you invest. We build. You get ALL your initial capital back while still owning the asset and collecting dividends. This isn't a loan. It's equity without the risk. If you're an accredited investor, this changes everything. Stop investing like it's 1999. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: - INVEST → BUILD → GET YOUR CASH BACK 🔄 – We use a hospitality appraisal to refinance at 60% LTV post-completion and return your initial capital. You keep the stock. - 15–20% TARGETED RETURNS 🎯 – Even after you get your money back, you keep earning dividends on the original investment amount. ACCELERATED COMPOUNDING ⚡ – Reinvest your returned capital into the next project. Second project = ~30% return. Third = ~45%. This is velocity. TAX-FREE CAPITAL RETURN 🏦 – CRA rules allow reimbursement of initial capital. You get your investment back clean, then profit. LIFETIME PERKS INCLUDED 🏨 – Investors receive lifetime Ambassador Elite status: 10% off stays at all our resorts. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you're not getting your capital back, you're just lending. We're building owners." 🏗️ "This only works in high-yield hospitality—not apartments, not commercial. We cracked the code." 🔐 "Your first question shouldn't be 'Is this legal?' It's 'Why isn't everyone doing this?' (Spoiler: they can't.)" ⚖️ 👇 ACCELERATED INVESTOR? If you earn $80K+/year or have $400K+ in assets (or $300K joint), book a free consultation with our dealer rep via the link below. See the models. Ask the hard questions. Then decide. https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/booking/rYBsyWIwnFFgj1eFRI91 (⚠️ Accredited investors only. This is for those who invest based on math, not marketing.) #RecyclingCapital #RealEstateInvesting #AccreditedInvestor #HighYieldInvestment #KenDunn #ResortDevelopment #EquityInvesting #InvestmentStrategy

    5 Steps To Getting Into Short Term Rentals 🏡💵

    You asked for the exact steps to start a short-term rental empire with $0 of your own money. Here it is. No fluff, no theory—just the brutal, tactical blueprint I've used to build an 11-property portfolio making $650K/year. From choosing the right property to borrowing every dime, this is the system. Stop taking notes and start taking action. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: PICK YOUR LANE: Vacation, In-City, or Arbitrage 🎯 – Vacation rentals let you use the property AND profit. In-city beats long-term rental income 3:1. Arbitrage requires no ownership but more hustle. BUY DILAPIDATED, SELL LUXURY 🏚️➡️🏡 – Target non-winterized 3-season cottages. Renovate to double the value. Use an ARV (After Repair Value) appraisal to secure 100% financing. FINANCE EVERYTHING, EVEN INTEREST 💸 – Structure private mortgages, tap RRSPs via self-directing trusts (Olympia, Pacific Western), and borrow the interest payments too. Your cash stays in your pocket. THE "MINI NORDIC SPA" IS NON-NEGOTIABLE 🔥 – Every property must have a hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna. It's the #1 booking driver and justifies premium rates. MARKET FOR 30 DAYS, THEN AUTOPILOT 🚀 – Run Facebook ads for just 30 days at launch to spike views. Airbnb's algorithm then promotes you organically. List on ALL platforms (not just Airbnb) using HostAway. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you can hear the neighbors, don't buy it. Isolation isn't a preference—it's a profit mandate." 🚫 "Your first offer should have three conditions: an ARV appraisal, 5 site visits for contractors, and a 90-day close. Anything less is amateur hour." ⏳ "You're not in the rental business. You're in the experience business. Tile the damn shower." 🛁 👇 READY TO SKIP THE TRIAL AND ERROR? I run a live webinar breaking this down further and a coaching community where I help members find deals, get funded, and launch. Links are below. Your first property is 90 days away—if you start today. ➡️ https://cottagedreamvacations.clickfunnels.com/webinar-registration-540992391742825115777 ➡️ https://cottagedreamvacations.com/ ➡️ https://canhottub.com/ (⚠️ Warning: This is for doers, not dreamers.

    How I Turned $0 Down into $60,000 Monthly With Cottages & Airbnb (Step-by-Step) 🏡💵

    I built an $8 million short-term rental portfolio with $0 of my own cash. Now it makes $70,000 a month. This isn't a theory—it's a system. I'm pulling back the curtain LIVE: showing you the booking software, the revenue screens, and the exact two-property secret that books at 95% occupancy. Stop dreaming about financial freedom and start building it. This is the blueprint. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: SMALL BEATS BIG 🏡 – Our 2-person tiny homes book at 95%. The 15-person mansion books at 60%. THE MINI NORDIC SPA IS THE SECRET 🔥 – Every property has a hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna. It's the #1 booking driver. BUY DILAPIDATED, DOUBLE THE VALUE 💸 – We target non-winterized 3-season cottages, renovate, and appraise for 2x. Then refinance it all out. THE 30-DAY AD BLITZ 🚀 – Run Facebook ads for just 30 days at launch. Spend $900, book cheap to get 5-star reviews, then let Airbnb's algorithm take over. SYSTEM OVER HUSTLE ⚙️ – We use HostAway to manage 11 properties across all platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.). This isn't a side gig—it's a scaled business. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you're buying a big cottage on a lake, you're doing it wrong. Solitude sells." ❌ "Your first month isn't for profit—it's for reviews. Lose money to make the algorithm your employee." 📈 "I don't use my money. I use other people's money, then refinance it out. If you're using your savings, you've already failed." 🏦 👇 WANT THE EXACT SYSTEM? Click the link below for a free 45-minute training where I break down the sourcing, funding, and marketing steps. There's also a small coaching community where I help members find deals and get funded. Stop watching.

    Is Canada's Housing Market About to Crash? Here's What I Really Think 🤔 (2026 Forecast)

    Headlines scream the market is about to crash. They're wrong. The crash already happened—now it's your turn. Ken Dunn dismantles the fear-mongering and lays out the raw, unfiltered 2026 action plan. Rates are dropping, the government is handing out 95% loans, and a historic buying window is slamming shut by summer. If you're waiting for a sign, this is it. Stop watching the news and start building your portfolio. 🔥 KEY TAKEAWAYS: THE BOTTOM IS NOW 📉 – The 40% condo crash already happened. The "crash" headlines are late. Values hit lows in Q1 2026—then rise. RATES DROP, PRICES JUMP 📈 – Bank of Canada will cut rates another 1% in 2026. Starter homes at $800K today will hit $1M by fall. SHORT-TERM RENTALS EXPLODE 🏡 – With Trump in office, Canadians are staying home. Our portfolio is at 90% occupancy. This wave lasts three more years. HOUSE FLIPPING IS BACK 🛠️ – The perfect flip starts NOW (January). Close in spring, renovate in good weather, sell at peak season (May/June) into a rising market. GOVERNMENT FUNDS YOUR DEAL 🏦 – CMHC's MLI Select program still offers 95% financing on multifamily. It's the cheapest capital in history. Use it or lose it. 💥 HARD TRUTHS: "If you're waiting for the 'perfect' moment, you've already missed it. The moment is January." ⏳ - "The media profits from your fear. I profit from your action. Choose wisely." 📰 "This isn't a recovery—it's a reload. The investors who buy now will own the next cycle." 🚀 👇 READY TO STOP WATCHING AND START BUYING?
