A podcast on the things that they don't teach us in school. We are taught in school how to square a circle but not how to do our taxes, how to open a bank account, how to invest wisely or how insurance/mortgages work. Helping Canadians become more financially literate, one post at a time.
Content consists of interviews and segments on trending topics, important concepts that are not in the school curriculum and interviews with an array of professionals, masters of crafts and humans.
Episode #47 From Big 4 to $20M AUM: Building a Real Estate Fund No One Taught You How to Start with Pirasaanth Varatharajan
He left a Big 4 accounting job. Now he’s managing $20M in real estate.
In this episode, Anthony sits down with Pirasaanth Varatharajan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pirasaanth/), to break down what it actually takes to build a fund from scratch.
No theory. Just what works.
They get into how he built Foundation Capital and raised $8M, the exact BRRRR strategy he uses to scale (buy, renovate, rent, refinance, repeat), why technical founders struggle with sales and how to fix it, the health habits that changed his output overnight and what’s really happening in Canadian real estate right now.
This episode is a real look at what happens after you leave the safe path and what it actually takes to build something that compounds.
If you’re a founder, investor, or thinking about making the jump, this will shift how you think.
