How We Help Investors
Real estate is one of the tried-and-true methods of building generational wealth. Investment properties in desirable are expensive to buy, however. This barrier to entry limits most people to only ever buying a family home, although even that is becoming a distant dream for many Canadians. When it comes to adding an investment property, some lucky people might scrape together enough cash to add a 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 give a chunk to us. The Educated Investor then offers this equity in small tranches to its limited partners, who can invest in land development deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars for as little as $50,000 CAD.
It’s a win-win for all. Developers get the investment capital they need they need to secure bank financing for their projects. And small investors get a taste of the high returns usually reserved for large, private equity partners.

Eight Years in a Row
UBC continues to hold top spot in the 2025 Maclean's Magazine's
rankings of Canada's best university business programs
|
The UBC Sauder School of Business continues to maintain the #1 ranking as the best business program in Canada, according to Maclean’s Magazine. Of the ten years that Maclean’s has published Canadian university program rankings, UBC Sauder has consistently topped the charts, achieving the top ranking in the category for eight straight years.
In the recently released Maclean’s Best Programs By Reputation, the University of British Columbia shared the top position in the “Business” section of the rankings with the University of Toronto, as both universities earned top marks in both of the main individual ranking categories: Program Reputation and Research Reputation. Maclean’s has been evaluating Canadian universities for the past 34 years, and has been ranking university programs (Business, Computer Science, Education, Engineering and Nursing) for the past ten years, based on the programs’ reputations for quality and research strength. UBC also topped the Maclean’s 2025 Best Programs By Reputation for Education, while placing second in Canada for Engineering and Nursing and third for Computer Science. To compile the rankings, Maclean’s contacted faculty and senior administrators at universities across Canada, seeking their views in an online survey. They asked academics if their area of expertise was in any of the following five disciplines: business, computer science, education, engineering or nursing. If so, they were asked to list up to 10 universities that they felt offered the best programs and conducted the best research in their discipline. In the end, more than 1,000 professors, deans and chairs at 70 universities responded. Program reputation and research reputation contributed equally to the final results; both were weighted at 50 per cent. - Sauder Media Release, Oct 2024 |
