How Mainstreet Equity Became a Leader in Mid-market Rentals w/ Bob Dhillon, Founder, President & CEO

"Real estate is a capital intensive business. So
everybody's chasing these bigger complexes, which is 20% of the
market." — Bob Dhillon


From flipping homes to becoming the first Sikh billionaire in
North America, Bob Dhillon knows his fair share about Canada's
rental housing market. The CEO of Mainstreet Equity Corp. has
netted a fortune by investing in undervalued mid-market apartment
blocks, refurbishing them, and appealing to the inner city,
millennial renter.


Why? For one thing, the affordable housing shortage. 73% of
Canadians make less than $50,000 a year. 


So, build all the fancy buildings you want, but they don't cater
to 73% of the population.


In this episode of Sync or Swim, we discuss multiplying your
wealth in multifamily by finding niche opportunities with Bob
Dhillon, founder, president & CEO at Mainstreet Equity Corp.,
