Where Should I Invest? Real Estate Investing in Canada


Stabilizing Your Real Estate Investments in an Unpredictable Market

June 30, 2023
Despite their best efforts, many real estate investors need help to adapt to current conditions. They may be spending countless hours researching, analyzing, and networking, only to find that the deals they thought were solid fall apart or fail to generate the anticipated returns.

Instead of feeling discouraged, it’s time to reframe your approach and explore new strategies to help you overcome these challenges and find opportunities in today’s market.


An experienced real estate investor Mathew Frederick offers valuable insights and proven strategies for successfully navigating market cycles and capitalizing on challenges.


In this episode, you will learn about:

  • Powerful techniques to overcome challenges in the ever-changing real estate market
  • The hidden treasure of off-market deals and successful joint venture partnerships
  • The lucrative world of storage unit investments and overcoming the hurdles specific to Ontario
  • How to enhance your renting strategy toolkit with midterm rentals and rent-to-own options to maximize profits
  • Embracing the value of introspection and seeking out fresh opportunities for lasting success


Mathew’s remarkable real estate journey began with great enthusiasm when he purchased his first duplex at incredibly favourable interest rates that seemed almost too good to pass up.

However, just like the ever-changing real estate market, it had its share of ups and downs. He encountered multiple market downturns, which compelled him to swiftly adapt his strategies with a keen focus on cost reduction and timely property sales.


Through perseverance and astute decision-making, Mathew built a vast portfolio across Canada and the U.S., venturing into diverse asset classes such as multifamily buildings, self-storage facilities, and commercial warehousing.


Drawing from his experiences, he advises fellow investors grappling with similar market hurdles. His insights provide actionable guidance and empower investors to navigate uncertain times and seize opportunities amidst the ever-evolving real estate landscape.
