How We Help Investors |
Real estate is one of the tried-and-true methods of building generational wealth. Investment properties are expensive to buy however, especially in urban areas. This barrier to entry limits most people in their lifetime to buying a family home - but even that is becoming a distant dream for many average Canadians. If families plan well, they might just scrape together enough cash to add a small rental condo, but that's it.
Scale and experience are two of the most important ingredients for success in real estate investing. Experience counts because one wrong move can create crippling, life-altering financial losses. No one is immune from mistakes and unexpected market movements, but the more experience you possess, the better equipped you are to handle them.
Real estate is a capital-intense business. The best deals with the highest returns are too large for everyday retail investors to buy into. And even if they could, they don't have the network of contacts needed to find those deals.
This is where The Educated Investor shines. We are constantly analyzing real estate opportunities.
Sometimes we develop our own projects from the ground up. On other occasions, we work with large developers who carve out a portion of their multi-million-dollar capital raises and offer a chunk to us. The Educated Investor then offers this equity in small tranches to our investor partners, who can invest in property deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars for as little as $25,000.
This exposes our Educated Investors to large, commercial-scale, new-build land development deals they would otherwise be excluded from. It’s a win-win for all. Developers source the equity they need to secure bank financing for their projects. And small investors get a taste of higher private equity returns usually reserved for only the big players.
