In my interview with Sarah, we discuss how she was able to retire from her 9-5 job 30 years early, the importance of “key power team members” and how advanceable mortgages can help you grow your real estate portfolio.

In 2020 she and her husband took the plunge and bought a house in Canada in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. They called on my services to help them get a mortgage and were able to savour the joys and surprises of homeownership.

In this episode, I will explain the real estate situation here in Canada so that you can stay informed on how real estate has been affected in these COVID times, whether you’re an existing home-owner that is concerned about the value of their home dropping due to COVID, or whether you are a renter looking to potentially buy in the future.

I’ve been pretty lucky the last couple years. After my roof was damaged by a windstorm a couple years ago, my roof has been perfectly fine since then. That is until a severe thunderstorm in June.

I remember it like it was yesterday. The rain was coming down like the monsoons. Lightning lit up the sky. The boom of thunder made the hair stand on the back of my neck.

In my interview with Robin, we discuss some of the issues to consider when deciding to renovate or move, what COVID-19 may mean for the future of housing and personal finance as it relates to affordability.
