   17- From $16K to $1.3M: The Incredible Appreciation of Real Estate

   In this episode of Get Real Wealthy Season 4, Quentin D’Souza talks about how real estate has outperformed other investments over time and why it is a great way to build wealth. Quentin shares an advertisement from 1973 for a fully detached home in the Toronto area, selling for $16,745. If you wanted carpeting or an attached garage, the cost would increase to $18,275 and $19,495, respectively. A similar home today would sell for $1.3 million, which is 76 times its value in 1973. While the outer shell of the home probably remained the same, the interior was likely updated with $5,000 to $10,000 spent over time. He adds that the value of the home changed due to lower interest rates, high demand and limited supply, which were caused by governments adding rules, regulations and fees. When compared to other commodities, such as gold and oil, the value of housing has appreciated significantly over the years. Gold has appreciated around 20 times, oil has appreciated around three times, while the dollar itself has seen an appreciation of seven times. Quentin shares that he prefers investing in real estate for its cash flow and long-term growth potential. Owning an asset base for decades can lead to significant appreciation in value and the creation of wealth. He says that owning an asset base worth a million dollars today, which grows to $2 million in ten years, allows the debt on that asset to go down and increases the equity tremendously. Longevity is key in owning an asset base for a decade or more because it grows in an appreciating market. Quentin adds that he is growing his portfolio using multifamily apartment buildings, which have a larger asset base and grow over decades. Holding on to that asset base allows the debt to go down, just like the person who bought a house in 1973 for $17,000, whose dollar has gone down by 700% or seven times. That is why he prefers owning a hard asset in real estate to create wealth. In conclusion, he adds that while it’s tempting to talk about real estate through financial freedom and income, which can be a byproduct of owning a great asset base, the main goal of investing in real estate should be growing your asset base over decades and cash flowing on it every month. By doing that, you can create enormous wealth for yourself and your family.

   16 - The Nine Habits of Highly Effective Real Estate Investors

   In this episode of Get Real Wealthy Season 4, Quentin D'Souza shares the qualities he has observed in successful real estate investors, and what you can learn from them. Quentin says that successful investors possess certain qualities that he has observed over the years. He has met investors who own one or two investment properties and those who own $300 million in assets. There is a big difference between the two types of investors in terms of growth. He advises that to achieve your goals, you should follow people who have already succeeded in it. If you want to own one or two investment properties, you should seek advice from people who have done so. If you want to grow a real estate empire with $300 million in assets, you need to find those who have already achieved that goal. Quentin shares that the first quality he has noticed in successful investors is their willingness to never stop learning. Successful investors are always seeking new knowledge and opportunities to grow. They know what they know, but they are aware that there is always room for improvement. The second quality of successful investors is that they do not make excuses. They take responsibility for their actions and admit their mistakes. They do not dwell on past failures but use them as learning opportunities to improve and continue to grow. The third quality that successful investors possess is their constant effort to improve upon what they have already done. They make slight tweaks or little changes to their methods to continue growing and bettering themselves. They recognize that there is always room for improvement, and they actively work towards it. The fourth quality of successful investors is that they celebrate their achievements along the way. They take time to acknowledge their progress and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Whether it's a dinner out or a vacation, they take time to celebrate their successes, big or small. The fifth quality is that they follow a vision and a process for achieving their goals. They have a clear vision and a plan to reach their objectives. They may use a vision board, quarterly plans, or 30-60-90-day goals, but they always have a process that they follow to achieve their goals. The sixth quality of successful investors is their commitment to keeping their word. They strive to do their best and follow through on their promises. They work hard to help others and achieve whatever they said they would do. The seventh quality is that they dream big and achieve bigger. They set lofty goals and push themselves to achieve them. They continuously work on their process to achieve their goals, which often leads them to achieve more than they thought was possible. The eighth quality of successful investors is that they leverage their failures throughout the process. They understand that failure is part of the journey and use it as a learning opportunity. They use their failures to grow and do better in the future. Finally, successful investors have deep relationships with others. They understand the importance of building strong, meaningful connections and leverage those relationships when needed. These relationships often help them achieve their goals faster and more efficiently. In conclusion, Quentin suggests that to become a successful investor, you should reflect on these qualities and make some changes while never stopping learning.

   15 - Making Money in Real Estate: Investing Wisely and Avoiding Pitfalls

   In this episode of Get Real Wealthy Season 4, Quentin D'Souza discusses the reality of real estate seminars and the need to be careful when signing up for them. Quentin highlights that although some real estate seminars may be legitimate, many of them are merely ways to enroll participants in more expensive seminars. As a veteran of the industry, Quentin provides listeners with tips to make informed decisions and avoid scams. According to Quentin, attending low-cost or free real estate seminars that cost around $100 or $200 will likely only provide a high-level overview and not much actionable information. The majority of the time is spent discussing why you should invest in real estate, how it's important, and how you can earn more money. However, the ultimate goal is to persuade attendees to invest in a more expensive course, usually offered at the end of the seminar. This is a classic example of a real estate quick money seminar. Quentin cautions that during seminars, presenters often showcase their wealth by sharing their vacations, cars, and properties. This is done to create an association with wealth in the attendees' minds. The seminars teach how to buy a property with little to no money down, which is doable, but difficult without help and support. Even though this is achievable, it will take more than a weekend or an education course to learn the required skills. Attendees should keep this in mind. During the seminars, the presenters ask a lot of questions to which attendees are expected to respond with a "yes." This is done to soften the audience, making them more likely to agree when an incredible offer is presented. The offer is usually valued at thousands of dollars, but the cost is only a fraction of that if purchased right away. There is typically a time limit or a limit on the number of courses available, creating scarcity. This is a component of the weekend course, and Quentin warns that this technique is used to make participants more susceptible to buying the product offered. Quentin says that although he has learned a lot about real estate from various courses, including weekend courses, he suggests having the mindset to learn something from any course. However, he emphasizes that networking with other participants is the most important aspect, as they are on the same journey and can provide valuable insights. He suggests doing research on the presenter, checking out their website, references, and reviews to learn more about them, and warns against seminars that guarantee returns or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, as there are no guarantees in real estate. In conclusion, Quentin advises caution when considering attending low-cost or free seminars that include upsells at the end.
