Ep. 66 - Creative Financing & Real Estate Investing with Jan Carmanico-Reeves

Sep 18, 2024

In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, host Majeed Mogharreban sits down with real estate investing expert Jan Carmanico-Reeves. Jan, an experienced investor and entrepreneur based in Windsor, Ontario, shares her journey into real estate and reveals how she uses creative financing strategies to make the numbers work on her deals. She discusses the exciting opportunities that Windsor offers, including rental growth driven by infrastructure projects like the new Gordie Howe Bridge and a booming job market.

Jan also dives into the importance of leveraging credit, how she structures deals, and her mission to help everyday people achieve financial freedom through real estate investing. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, this episode is packed with insights on creative financing, long-term wealth building, and making real estate investing fun, easy, and profitable.

Key Takeaways:

  • Creative Financing Strategies: Jan explains how she uses tools like vendor take-back (VTB) mortgages, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and 0% credit card offers to fund her real estate deals without using her own money.
  • Opportunities in Windsor: With major developments like the Gordie Howe Bridge, electric battery plants, and a new mega-hospital, Windsor is becoming a hot market for real estate investments. Jan talks about the influx of workers needing rental properties, making mid-term rentals a lucrative option.
  • The Power of New Builds: Jan highlights the benefits of investing in newly built properties, including fewer capital expenditures, higher rents, and easier financing. She explains how she adds value by increasing rents to market rates in under-rented properties.
  • Active vs. Passive Investing: As an active investor, Jan manages her properties, finds deals, and handles financing. She also works with passive investors who provide capital and enjoy returns without managing the day-to-day operations.
  • Generational Wealth & Long-Term Strategy: Jan emphasizes that real estate is a long-term investment and a pathway to generational wealth. Her goal is to help others get into the market and make real estate investing simple and profitable.
