Real Estate Investment Planning for 2019

What will 2019 look like for your real estate investing?

With a new year upon us, it is a great time to reflect on where your real estate business is currently – and where you would like to see it go! Our first presentation will be a panel discussion with multiple local experts discussing several concepts, including:

  • How to capitalize on current market conditions to grow your portfolio

  • Where to set your rents in 2019 based on current trends and data

  • Negotiating prices on new purchases in a downward market

  • Is 2019 a great year to buy properties in Calgary?

  • How the changes in financing over the last year (stress test plus rising interest rates) has affected first time home buyers – and what that means for landlords

  • Renovations, Staging & Photos – Upgrading your marketing to attract better quality tenants

  • And more!

Step by Step Growth for Real Estate Investors

Our second presentation is focused around step by step growth strategies for investors with any size of portfolio.

In her presentation: ‘From The Ground UP, A Real Estate Investor’s Story’, local real estate investor Laura Atherton (owner of Efficient Property Assistants) will share her story of growing a bootstrapped (self funded) portfolio of 20 doors in under 10 years.

This presentation will include details about:

  • Mistakes made while growing a portfolio – and how to avoid repeating them

  • How to select properties with proper due diligence and discipline

  • How to accelerate your growth as efficiently as possible

  • Choosing the right strategy for your personal (and unique) circumstances

  • And more!

What are Recent Event Attendees Saying About Our Events?

“It was totally refreshing to be at an event that was truly focused on education – and not focused on selling anything. I met several excellent people at my table and learned some new ideas from the presenters that will definitely be helpful in the future. I was very pleased with the professionalism of the entire event and I am definitely planning on attending again. It was great! Thank you for setting this up!”


“I would just like to thank you and your team for putting on a great event last night. The speakers and topics were very interesting and well presented. I really think you have collected a great group of people to come together, and I look forward to the next event.”


“The event was excellent! I was hesitant to go initially (because I was expecting a big sales pitch like every other real estate event I attend) and to my complete surprise – it never happened! I was really pleased with the quality of the presentations and I learned some great ideas from both speakers. I also met some very experienced investors who were great to learn from – and that in itself was eye opening and very valuable. I will definitely be attending again and I’m really looking forward to it!”

Alberta Acreage & Agriculture is in our DNA!

Little did Peter Pond know that as he cultivated his first garden in 1779 on the lower Athabasca River, that he was going to create such as diverse and strong agriculture presence in Alberta. While many settlements, mostly forts, started vegetable gardens, this was also when European crops such as oats, barley and wheat was introduced. Between 1874 and 1880, ranching also took hold in Southern Alberta. Agriculture and ranching would remain relatively small scale operations, however, this was changed when the Trans Canada Railway reached Alberta in 1883. The railway, working in tandem with the Dominion Lands Act rapidly encouraged settlement in Alberta. The Dominion Land Act or the “homestead act” allocated about 480,000 square miles of land across the Prairie Provinces. This was the foundation for today’s agriculture operations in Alberta.
