Are you in that challenging position many mid-stage real estate investors find themselves in, where you've got a number of properties in the portfolio, but not enough cashflow to fund your lifestyle?

This is a common challenge for investors who have built portfolios in markets where, due to higher prices, cashflow on a per property basis is lower. 

So what do you do to create cashflow for today without having to liquidate a property and put a dent in your long-term wealth building plans?

Enter Cody Yeh, a former full-time project manager and engineer at Honda, who supplemented his job income and real estate portfolio returns by learning to become a stock options investor. The skills he learned over a period of time allowed him to quit his job at the beginning of 2020, while also allowing him to keep his real estate investments for building long-term wealth and earn income for today.

In this conversation you'll see how real estate and stock options investing can be worked in tandem to create the best of both worlds: cashflow today and wealth tomorrow. 

Talking points include:


Why Cody started investing in real estate
What led to trading stock options after starting out with day trading
How stock options connect to real estate investing and why investors should care
What is a stock option?
Real estate investors can't eat equity, so if there's not enough cash flow from the portfolio, where's the money coming from?
How trading stock options complements the wealth building aspects of long-term real estate investing
Why trade stock options as opposed to trade stocks (and what's the difference)
Being the "insurance" 
What happens if your option gets exercised
Expected cashflow returns of trading options 
Translatable skills between real estate investing and options trading
How to create scalable risks and returns
How to get started
The most common ways people screw options up: fear, greed, and lack of diligence

Jamie and Leslie Collard are a husband and wife team who have spent the last few years building financial freedom through real estate acquisitions.  

In 2016, they decided it was time to take control of their future and began creating the life they dreamed of after realizing their financial future was in jeopardy.  

They decided to delve into the real estate world by soaking up all there is to know about property acquisitions, private lending and investing through registered funds such as RRSP’s, TSFA’s, etc. 

Starting with their first investing in 2017, in only two short (and very busy) years, they developed a portfolio of over 50 rental units which has grown to its current size of 350 units and counting!

Throughout their journey, they have become passionate about sharing with others how they use real estate to build wealth. As true believers that everyone can achieve the same success that they have, they decided they wanted to show people how they did it, so they've hosted events, offered coaching programs, and appeared on plenty of shows like this!

In our conversation with the Collard's we dive into:


The Collard's real estate investing origin story
Where they've invested in building a portfolio now with over 350 units 
Why they got started in real estate investing
How their goals in real estate changed after getting some focused education in investing
What it really looks like to build a 350 unit portfolio in 4.5 years . . . the price to be paid not for everyone
The importance of building your team and vetting quality team members in order to scale with speed
Becoming aware of what you need to see (and have) in order to push forward through obstacles and discomfort
What it's like to transition to using other people's money to build your portfolio
Developing the confidence to bring on investors and lenders in order to grow
How long does it actually take, and how much work it takes, to find and vet a good deal
What all is included in the Collard's portfolio and how do they manage it all?
What investing strategies they use in different markets to maximize returns
Handling the stresses that come with having a lot of business activities on the go, and what they're doing to improve things
Investing in coaching and only working with people who are willing to teach them
The future of real estate for Jamie and Leslie
