George's investing journey began with his first BRRRR deal in 2017, and since then he has built a powerful real estate portfolio while helping others do the same.   We dive into the hard lessons learned during the 2020–2022 real estate boom, the common mistakes many investors made, and how George adjusted his strategy to thrive in today's changing market. He openly shares the challenges he faced, how he overcame them, and the investment strategies that are working right now.   We also look ahead to the opportunities George sees coming in the 2026 market, including creative deal structures that investors can start preparing for today.   To wrap up the episode, I share this week's Tip of the Week, centered on goal setting and fulfillment—because true success means building wealth without sacrificing purpose.   This is Part One of a two-part conversation, packed with real-world insights, practical strategies, and honest lessons for both new and experienced real estate investors.   Contact: Web: WellOff.ca  Insta: welloffx   his episode proudly sponsored by Our Neighbourhood Realty - ONRI.ca    Realtors, are you looking for a brokerage that truly supports your growth?
