Key Takeaways:

“I think the big thing is the first step you need to do is understand what market and what you want to invest in.” – Reed Goossens

“Choose a market where you may have a bit of competitive advantage. Maybe you’ve got a relative there or a friend there or someone who can share information that you, because you live in Canada, don’t necessarily know that being South of Smith Street is bad or being North of Smith street is bad.” – Reed Goossens. 

“Once you’ve chosen a market or a couple of markets, I always encourage people to underwrite a minimum of 50 deals in any one market because that is a great desktop study on getting to know the market without actually being boots on the ground. And then you get to the second, and the third thing and then reaching out to local brokers, local partners.” – Reed Goossens

“If you can partner with anyone, boots on the ground, I highly recommend doing it because it will then incentivize the person who’s on the ground. They’re part of the deal that can have you both, you’ve got shared interests. And so, you don’t have to necessarily worry if it’s just your deal that’s thousands of kilometers away and sort of set it and forget it, and no one’s really looking over it.” – Reed Goossens

“And I think, as entrepreneurs in this world, things are drastically and rapidly changing, we’ve really got to be like a surfer, you know, like ride the wave of change and be okay with change and not just have the blinkers on and go down the path of this being, well-traveled, and try and blaze your own path if you can and do things a little differently.” – Reed Goossens
