Jordan Silvester - Real Estate Professional in Canada









On the Often Chaotic Fluctuation of the Real Estate Market: "And when it first started happening, it takes a bit to get used to the idea that the market might go up instead of 2% a year, it might go percent up 2% a week. That's how insane the adjustment could be at certain times."





Real estate investing is one of the smartest moves you can make.  But like most investments, it is not entirely failsafe and it certainly involves some level of risk.



Jordan Silvester, a licensed Realtor and real estate investor, has lived through some good times and tumultuous times in real estate.

With the easy charm of someone who knows their place in the world, Jordan often reflects on the irony of how natural borders and human perception can differ. Just as the sunny allure of Florida stretches down farther south than parts of Mexico, the story of Jordan Silvester is one that defies conventional expectations, reminding all that sometimes, the places we hail from hold secrets and stories as unpredictable and captivating as the people who dwell within them.





For anyone involved or interested in the real estate market, this episode presents valuable insights into the dynamic nature of investing. Whether you're in Canada, the US, or anywhere else, understanding these concepts can help navigate the waters of property investment.







Listen as Jordan explains the ins and outs of investing and taking steps to ensure that you protect yourself from taking too large of a risk, while still being able to play the game.



Enjoy!
