    Previous guest Sarah Larbi hopped on a Zoom call with Gary last minute to talk about how her business, and her life has been impacted by the recent market conditions. Some of her ‘older’ properties still are doing well with the rate increases, but ones purchased more recently have struggled, leading her to sell off a few to ‘balance things out’. Gary also shares the unpredictability of the market, how having multiple streams of income helps anyone survive market changes, and what skills he prefers to have someone else do, allowing him to focus on what he’s good at; and MORE! They also touch on possible Universal Basic Income; immigrations; where the market might go, and how to be on the right side of the upcoming wealth transfer! If you are looking for answers on the current market and where things *might* go in the near future, TUNE IN!

     

    And Gary shares a few tips in the intro on how to survive AND thrive!

    Michael Lombardi was a house hacker before he’d ever heard the term! He realized that by buying a property with rental income, it would cost him less to carry the property than if he’d bought a cheaper property and was the only resident. His journey began in 2016 in Toronto, purchasing a house and adding 3 units to it. He currently owns 7 properties, and he and I discuss how house hacking works, what strategies to use, what to look for in a property, his mindset and daily activities to stay focused, the current state of the market and multiple offers, and whether interest rates will GO UP, yes go UP, and MUCH MORE!

    #240: Gavin McHale - Unlocking Your True Potential for 2024

     

    Gavin McHale is a former elite goaltender who was perhaps destined for the NHL. But he self sabotaged his potential career, then blamed everything else for his failure. He realized his mind wasn’t up to the task with his limiting beliefs, and made MANY mistakes until he found the power of coaching, mentoring and MINDSET! As he says now, he would make fun back then of the person he’s become now, but he’s in a completely different place, with an incredible work/life balance and work satisfaction as a success coach. If you are not living up to your true potential, TUNE IN!

     

    Gavin mentions an app called Opal that allows you to act as a gatekeeper to set which hours you’d like access to any app or website. After those hours are up, you are ‘locked’ out of the apps and websites you choose, so you aren’t tied to your phone during family time or critical office time.
