    You Can Still Make Money in Real Estate, Just Not Like It’s 1998

    “The market is too expensive. There are no good deals anymore.” I hear some version of this almost every week. But if real estate is no longer profitable, how are active investors—including my students and me—still buying, selling and operating profitable properties? The opportunity hasn’t disappeared. The market has changed. Trying to invest using outdated assumptions is like trying to make money in the news business by selling newspapers—or launching a pager company in 2026. In this episode, I explain why you need today’s network, today’s numbers and advisors who are actually doing deals today. In 2026, my students, EBC members and I expect to close on more than 100 doors. The deals exist—but you need to understand how the current market really works.

    Money Follows Competence: The Four Things Investors Actually Fund

    Having trouble finding partners or raising capital? The problem may not be a lack of money. It may be that something is missing from the opportunity you’re presenting. Money tends to follow four things: good ideas, good deals, competent operators and strong networks. In this episode, Terrie explains how investors can move out of scarcity by strengthening these four levers. She shares examples ranging from creative rooming-house projects in HOMA to building deal flow through relationships—and explains why experience, preparation and the ability to solve problems make people increasingly willing to trust you with their capital. If the money isn’t finding you yet, this episode will help you identify what you need to build next. Want to know how to implement this in real time?

    $25K for a Bathroom?! Why Does Calling a Contractor Feel Like He’s Just Not That Into Me?

    Is it just me or does $25,000 for a bathroom sound normal? Since COVID, construction and renovation costs in Quebec have exploded, while finding a reliable contractor somehow feels harder than ever. Calls go unanswered, appointments take weeks, unexpected extras pile up, and sometimes you get billed even when the work doesn’t get done. In this episode, I look at what’s driving the problem, including the retirement of skilled tradespeople, labour shortages, inflation, rising wages and the enormous amount of capital chasing a limited number of qualified contractors. I also share practical ways landlords can protect themselves: supervising jobs closely, questioning invoices, understanding exactly what they’re buying and catching expensive exclusions before signing a contract. Construction is one of the toughest parts of operating buildings today, but investors who learn to manage it will have a serious advantage.

    If I Were Starting Over, I’d Buy Cash-Flowing Rentals in the U.S.

    What if you could buy a rental property for around $100,000 U.S. and generate positive cash flow from the beginning? Charles Rose started investing in the United States as a foreign national. Today, he lives off his rental income and coaches other investors through Master Passive Income. In this episode, Charles shares how he built his portfolio, what it takes to invest remotely, and why affordable, cash-flowing U.S. markets deserve a closer look, especially for Canadians struggling to make the numbers work at home. Charles will also be speaking at our Equity Builders Club event in September, where we’ll share the system we’ve developed to help Canadians invest in the United States.

    Why Working Hard Won’t Make You Rich—But Owning These Assets Can

    What separates the working class, the middle class and the wealthy? It isn’t simply how much money they earn. It’s what they own, and whether their income depends entirely on their labour. Working-class households are especially exposed to inflation because most of their income goes toward consumer expenses: groceries, gasoline, vehicles, appliances and housing. Homeownership often becomes the middle class’s first and largest wealth-building asset. A home may consume after-tax income, but it can appreciate, adjust with inflation and provide collateral for future investments. The wealthy operate differently. They own income-producing assets: real estate, shares and businesses that can eventually function without their daily labour. In this episode, Terrie compares these three financial structures, explains why owning a job is not the same as owning a business, and shares what she learned from watching her father sell the manufacturing company he spent 40 years building for roughly the same amount as the industrial building that housed it.

    What Would You Do for a Million Dollars?

    Most people say they want financial freedom. But if you asked them what they'd actually be willing to do to become a millionaire, the answer is often... not much. In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest assumptions holding people back from building wealth. I share the choices I made on my own journey, living in rough neighborhoods, house hacking for years, having roommates well into adulthood, buying used instead of new, and making unconventional decisions that most people avoided. The point isn't to glorify sacrifice. It's to ask a better question: What assumptions are you following simply because everyone else does? If you're serious about building wealth through real estate—or any business—this episode will help you identify the invisible rules you may need to break.

    The Real Estate Time Trap: Why Most Investors Don't Actually Have a Money Problem

    Most investors believe they're stuck because they don't have enough money. In reality, most aren't limited by capital, they're limited by time. When you're answering tenant calls, coordinating contractors, collecting rent, chasing paperwork, bookkeeping, and solving every problem yourself, you've built yourself a job instead of an investment business. In this episode, I explain why time - NOT money - is usually the real bottleneck, how successful investors think differently, and which tasks you should stop doing first if you want to scale. If you want to build a larger portfolio without working 80-hour weeks, this episode is for you. Want to talk strategy for your portfolio, business, or next move?
