Inside The Passive Multifamily Fund Built for Canadian Investors | Ep 85
In this episode of the Wealth Genius Podcast, Alonso sits down with Sibitain and Insiyah to break down what’s really behind the Expand Wealth Fund—how it was built, why the team chose multifamily as the core strategy, and how everyday investors can participate in a private real estate trust using registered funds (TFSA/RRSP).They share their origin stories (education → entrepreneurship, corporate finance → investing), the painful lessons that shaped their strategy (including the 2008 shift), and why they believe conservative, cash-flow-first multifamily is one of the most predictable ways to build long-term wealth.You’ll also learn the difference between public REITs vs private REITs, why private REITs can feel more stable when markets get noisy, and how the fund is structured to give investors diversification without landlord headaches—with a professional team underwriting, acquiring, and managing assets.If you’re active in real estate, thinking about going passive, or you’ve been sitting on registered funds wondering how to put them to work—this episode is for you.Learn more about Expand Wealth + book an info session: expandealthfund.com Explore upcoming Wealth Genius events: wealthgenius.ai/eventsThe ultimate real estate education platform awaits you!
