from East Meets West · host East Meets West
Are you looking to start a career and/or investing in real estate? If so, you'll really want to tune into this one. In East Meets West, we (Steve Zalunardo and Hussein Kabani) let you in on our conversation - most would probably call it a debate with the way we talk to one another. We share our very different stories of how we got started in real estate and go on explaining where we are heading. In episode 16 of East Meets West: We speak about how our weeks have been going and from what we’ve seen, it’s OFFER SEASON. There are tons of buyers out there looking to buy up inventory. We recently closed on that collaborative deal we were handling in Angus, Ontario and are moving onto new projects such as Hussein’s client looking to flip a disastrous home in a nice neighbourhood. We were shocked to see that we have bidding wars happening in our market, but it must just be the perfect recipe between low inventory and bad weather mixed with lower interest rates and the potential of relieving the stress test. We also touch on how to properly handle competing with other listings on the same street, it’s better to collaborate than it is to fight. Steve then brings in some great information on insolvency and lending money. Bankruptcy’s are down, however, debt consolidation proposals are up! We go over what this means and how we believe it should be navigated. Most importantly, we discuss the importance of living frugal instead of chasing that materialistic Instagram lifestyle. Live within your means and/or even below, and you’ll live happy with minimal financial stress. Please don't forget to rate and subscribe to our podcast! We would love to hear your feedback and answer any of your questions in our next episode.
