Why Canadians are Ditching Domestic Investments with Andrew Hines

May 3, 2024

In Episode E273B, I share what’s been on my mind in the investment world. It’s a timely check-in on what’s working, what’s not, and the broader investment landscape.

Firstly, let’s talk about the challenges in Canada. Many investors are looking abroad due to frustrations with the capital gains tax increase and policies that seem to favour institutional ownership over individual landlords. This shift could eventually lead to a landscape dominated by corporate players, so adapting business-like operations could be key for small landlords to thrive.

Today, I also want to highlight some positive opportunities, especially in Ontario. Despite the challenges, there are entrepreneurs making substantial moves. For instance, there’s a massive development in the Bruce Peninsula area turning 60 acres into a mix of residential units, which is quite the endeavor in the current climate.

Lastly, I dive into my activities in Florida, where we’re seeing traction with several properties. It’s about staying diligent, negotiating where possible, and leveraging opportunities to maximize returns.

Whether it’s discussing market trends, development projects, or sharing personal investment moves, these episodes are here to give you a raw insight into my real estate journey.

How to Leverage Community, Policy, and Market Insights for Success

March 28, 2024

E268B is a blend of my personal journey, the strategies that have shaped my investment approach, and a sneak peek into upcoming projects, notably a book collaboration with John Schwenker. This book aims to highlight the stories of some of the most influential guests on my podcast and to distill the investment philosophies that I believe will be crucial for 2024 and beyond.

I take a closer look at Justin Trudeau’s newly announced Renters Bill of Rights and its potential implications for investors and landlords across Canada. It’s vital, now more than ever, to stay informed about the political and societal changes that could impact our investment strategies.

This episode is deeply focused on the importance of adopting a proactive and solution-oriented mindset to tackle both investment challenges and life’s obstacles. I firmly believe in the value of engaging work, building a strong community, and taking personal responsibility as the foundation for success and fulfillment. Moreover, I delve into how media and cultural narratives shape our society and political perspectives.

This episode isn’t just a reflection of my investment philosophy; it’s also a call to action for my listeners to develop awareness, adaptability, and critical thinking in their investment endeavors and beyond.
