In E278 of the Andrew Hines Real Estate Investing Podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Michael Emanuele onto my podcast for the first time, and it was a fantastic conversation. We’ve known each other online for a while, exchanged some messages, and now we’re finally making this happen. Thanks for joining us, Michael.

Michael shares that he got into investing during C0VID, starting with stocks and eventually transitioning to real estate. In June 2021, he left his corporate job as a project manager and dove into real estate full-time. He started listening to the REI podcasts and read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” which was a game-changer for him.

He joined a networking and support membership group in Oakville and found it provided an immense value. His first investment was a condo in Oakville, which he rented out initially and then renovated. By 2020, it had doubled in value. He used the equity to invest in more properties, including a pre-construction condo in Toronto and a single-family home in Kitchener.

Recently, Michael partnered with another investor in Kitchener and is working on multiple projects, despite facing challenges like low appraisals. He’s also started investing in Ohio, USA, to diversify and take advantage of favorable landlord rights and cash flow potential.

Michael’s journey highlights the importance of continuous learning, networking, and staying adaptable in real estate investing. His story is a great example of how dedication and the right mindset can lead to success in this field.
