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.
