As an investor himself, James has acquired almost 300 rental units in his portfolio and has architected several large joint ventures bringing partners together to acquire great properties.

As a Realtor James is one of Western Canada’s top-producing agents. As a leader of the Mogul team, he has grown and expanded into multiple cities and consistently sets the industry standard for exceptional service and performance.

Within the real estate world, James organizes and hosts Mogul Mastermind, one of the most popular Real Estate Investing meetup groups in Western Canada. He’s passionate about creating a place where investors can learn, network, and share opportunities.

He recently purchased an Airbnb in Gastown, Vancouver, and was analyzing properties in Whistler for their nightly rental potential.

With Alberta being the most landlord-friendly province in Canada, he was able to quickly solve any problem tenant situation and capitalize on the benefits of residential and commercial financing.

Through his experience, James was able to connect East Canadians to the Alberta market and create opportunities for a more diverse economy. With the new window of opportunity, James was able to take advantage of the MLI Select Program, creating a profitable and advantageous investment for himself.

As a guy, James loves spending quality time with friends and family breaking bread over a great meal, and going on adventures to the mountains in every season of the year.

James exemplifies the Mogul philosophy of Work Hard, Play Hard, and Live Well and inspires those around him to do the same.

Dalia Barsoum is the podcast guest for this week.

Founder of Streetwise Mortgages, a boutique brokerage that works primarily with real estate investors across Canada. She has funded over $1 billion in mortgage volume and helps investors scale their residential and multifamily portfolios.

After finding out that qualifying had become tougher due to rising interest rates and the stress test, she began to look for new programs to make deals work. She discovered net worth programs, self-employed programs, extended amortizations, and exceptions that could help investors.

She also saw an increase in private lending, with higher returns and scarcity around construction financing. Finally, she learned about the MLI Select program offered by CMHC, which offered an increased loan to values, reduced insurance premiums, better rates, and extended amortizations–all of which could help investors.

Dalia’s methods allowed her clients to make their deals work and their money work for them.

Helen Christopher is the podcast guest for this week.

A former teacher and current real estate investor who purchased Brooklyn (now known as Camp Brooklyn) two years ago.

She specializes in renovating and building resorts and also runs events such as weddings, work retreats, and family getaways.

Helen Christopher and her family sold their house to purchase Camp Brooklyn and began living on the property in a tiny 400 sq ft nurse’s office. She began renovating and investing what they could to make it more guest friendly.

After seeing the property while attending a wedding, they fell in love with the 60 acres of usable land and the nostalgic buildings. With the help of her father in the construction business, they began transforming the property into a resort.

Through podcasts and YouTube, she learned about the short-term rental business and now offers a variety of lodging and packages, including weddings. Despite the long hours and lack of balance, Helen is passionate about her dream and continues building the resort.
