In this episode, I go one-on-one with Mandy Branham, the JV Queen herself!
For people who are new to real estate investing or those who want to take things to the next level, we talk about the importance of having TEAM—time, education, attitude, money, and a team. We then dive into the power of having a vision, some strategies for overcoming mental obstacles, and my gift to investors who want to get into joint ventures.
And if you’re a real estate veteran who wants to inspire the next generation of investors, I also share my framework for creating and delivering presentations: FIRE.
How do you want people to FEEL?
What is your INTENTION?
What do you want people to REFLECT upon?
And, finally, EXECUTION—what do you want people to do?
Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:
Money is required to buy real estate but it doesn’t have to be your money
Teaching others is the best way to hold yourself accountable to doing something
Resourcefulness can help make up for what you lack in resources
Do the work that gets you closer to what you want to accomplish
How you present yourself matters
And so much more...

One way to make it big in real estate is to buy better quality properties and get better tenant profiles in better areas. But what if you’re new to real estate and you don’t have the funding or you lack the know-how?
I’ve got two words for you: joint ventures.
In this episode, I chat with Sir Colin Campbell and Gary McGowan as a guest on The Not So Black and White Real Estate Podcast. I weigh in on speculation, appreciation, and inflation—things that potential investors should look out for when getting into real estate besides the fundamentals and cash-flowing properties.
Get ready to go back to school because I have a simple explanation for joint ventures. I also talk about the importance of aligning with a mentor.
Tune in until the very end because I dive deep into:
How rapid growth without underlying fundamentals that drive the cash flow of the business is a recipe for failure
My “3-2-1-free” model
The 3 pillars of success in real estate—what you buy, where you buy, and who you rent it to
The 4M principle for joint ventures—money, mortgage, management, and mastery
And so much more...
Sir Colin Campbell and Gary McGowan have been professional real estate investors since 2008. They are currently affiliated with the Keller Williams Realty Centres where Gary is general manager. Colin is one of the company’s brokers and co-chair of the Keller Williams Agent Leadership Council’s Growth Committee.

No one knows what the future holds, but wouldn’t it be great if you did?
What if you had a sneak peek of the future—even just the near future? Imagine how that knowledge could benefit your personal life or your business. You would know what pitfalls to avoid and what opportunities to take advantage of.
Well, you’re going to want to tune in to my conversation with Randall Reashore of Ontario Assets because I am going to share my predictions for Canadian real estate markets.
Nothing is really certain when it comes to real estate, and ultimately, you are the one who gets to call the shots; but this forecast is based on research studies and insights that Randall and I have. Stick around until the very end because we go into not just real estate but also personal development.
Keep a pen and paper handy because we talk about:
Getting your WHY stronger than your limitations
Buying for cash flow, holding a portfolio for 15 years, and repurposing capital
The housing shortage in Canada coupled with an influx of people
The big trends Randall is seeing and my thoughts on the Alberta market
Over-communicating with JV partners
My top 4 tips for new real estate investors
The power of having a vision board
The 5-second rule and the importance of acknowledging the champions in your life
And so much more...
Randall Reashore is an investment realtor and the director of Ontario Assets, which he started as a full-time venture in 2016. As an investor, he sees undervalued opportunities, takes those assets to their highest and best use, and creates massive returns. He is a member of numerous GGTA Real Estate investment clubs and has worked with multiple coaching and mastermind groups.
