Key Takeaways:
“I just love the idea that I can have a property even if one person’s not paying, I have three or four other people that are and I won’t have any issues paying the mortgage at the end of the month.” – Georges El Masri
“You just got to try it and see what works. There are all these different methods that you have to try and, and you find opportunities in different ways.” – Georges El Masri
“I love looking for off-market opportunities. And part of that is because if you can get them for a bit of a discount, let’s say that you don’t charge commission or whatever and you get it for a discount.”– Georges El Masri
“With residential financing, it’s easier to qualify, you don’t have to do a phase one. You don’t have to pay for all the broker fees and all that, you’re just getting it through the bank. So, the costs are lower, the learner fees are the same as a typical mortgage. – Georges El Masri
“I can say that the reason that I’ve become this comfortable, or even that I dove into four to six units, is because I hired a coach, and I got help.” – Georges El Masri
“There’s a bunch of different ways to do it. But I really think that you need help. It’s hard to grow quickly if you’re trying to do everything on your own.” – Georges El Masri
“I’m always asking. Anytime that I see somebody who’s interested in investing, but they don’t know how, or they’re afraid, I always bring it up. I follow up with people, so I don’t just ask somebody once. And if they say no, I’ll check in with them again in a couple of months or whatever. Always, always on the lookout, always staying in touch and talking to people.” – Georges El Masri
“Why I started a podcast? I figured it’s an opportunity to share a good message, and I get to pick people’s brains, which is awesome. So, a lot of people that I probably never would have had an opportunity to sit down with and have a conversation with are open to it when you say I’m recording a podcast.” – Georges El Masri
