Market Downturn? Here’s What To Do

There’s no doubt about it: the Canadian Real Estate market correction has begun. For the last two years, we’ve struggled to find profitable properties in the most intense seller’s market in recent history. Now, as the cycle inverts itself, buyers shall be king for a time. But the challenges are likely to be different. To close deals in the upcoming season, investors will face difficulties accessing capital (for down-payments) and financing (as banks raise interest rates and lending becomes tighter). 

When such setbacks occur, how can we continue to do business? 

In this episode, Derek Dombeck, founder of Best REI Funding LLC and co-founder REI Circle Of Trust Mastermind, talks to us about how he weathered the 2008 crisis in the United States, growing his portfolio even in a downturn. 

For Derek, access to capital and mental planning are key. Find out how he emerged from a downturn in a better position than he started! 

Enjoy listening!
