#228: Eric Coulombe - From Childhood Struggles To Career Freedom at 25 Eric Coulombe has career and time freedom at age 25, and he's only been involved in real estate in the Sudbury market for a few years. Losing his dad at age 10 was a big loss and shock, and this affected him for many years. His job involved industrial work but looked around at his older fellow coworkers who were always complaining about the job, and how much it took away from their lives. Eric didn't want that for himself, so dove into real estate investing through podcasts. He wanted time freedom, and after a successful first investment property, he's scaled his portfolio using creative financing and he's now flipping, wholesaling, BRRRR-ing and has added property management services, as cash flow is not always the long term answer.

And not just yearly goals, but goals 3, 5 and even 10 years out. And by whiteboarding them, you unleash the power of making them a priority and letting the universe know what you want.

Bio Melanie and Dave Dupuis, well known as Investor Mel & Dave, are innovative real estate investors, best-selling authors and award-winning mentors who have SOLELY acquired over 240 apartments in just a few short years in Canada, the US, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Their strategy gives them the ability to purchase properties… without using any of their own money or relying on joint ventures. This also allows them to own 100% of the property - which means they keep 100% of the equity, cash flow, and appreciation. With over 23 years of combined experience in real estate investing, Investor Mel & Dave are founders of the Action FamilyTM Mentorship Program and are dedicated to helping individuals create their own time, location, and financial freedoms. They do this by helping them build their real estate portfolio without using their own funds while solely keeping ownership. To date, they've helped over 1500 students in Canada and the United States get started on their real estate investing journey. Starting out, Mel was working full-time at her local college, and Dave was a full-time firefighter. They understand what it's like to be stuck in the 'hamster wheel' of trading time for money. But they knew they wanted a better life for their family, so they chose to step up and make real estate investing work no matter what. After discovering the "Creative Financing" strategies they now use, they were able to purchase 12 properties in 12 months (56 units) in 2017 and both quit their jobs in their 30s. Following a horrific life-changing highway crash in 2018, they wrote a Real Estate Investing book "Real Estate Investing Secrets" which topped the Amazon #1 Best Seller list early in its launch. As well, Mel is the co-author of "The Only Woman in the Room", which also achieved Bestseller status. They are living proof that if you don't let anything stop you, success can be yours. They won the 2019 Chamber of Commerce - Small Business of the Year Award, the 2020 Canadian Business Award as Leading Experts in Real Estate Investing, the 2021 Canadian Business Award as Top Real Estate Mentors and the 2022 CBRB Best Investors in Canada Award. In their free time, Mel & Dave enjoy relaxing at their cottage (purchased with OPM), spending time with their 3 kids and 2 dogs (Rexy and Millie), and creating unforgettable memories on family trips. Along with podcast appearances on shows like The Real Brad Lea and Bigger Pockets, and stage appearances with Kevin O'Leary (Shark Tank) and Michelle Ramanow (Dragon's Den) Mel and Dave are well known on social media.

Bio My name is Isaiah Henry and I am 28 years old. Born and raised in Pickering ON. Fell in love with athletics at a young age and was able to take my talents to Wilfrid Laurier University where I received an athletic scholarship and was fortunate to become a dual athlete while playing Rugby and Football. Upon graduating I pursued a career in long enforcement where I gained positions at Metrolinx as Special Constable and then the Toronto Police Service as a Police Officer. In terms of my investing career I started in 2017 after seeing an ad in the local paper about a new pre con project in Toronto. After the condo I was pretty uninvolved in real estate until 2019 where I picked up a condo townhouse in oshawa ON. I began learning more about REinvesting and started taking on long distance projects in Windsor, Sudbury and Timmins. Currently I am focusing on Timmins ON where the majority of my portfolio is located. I manage all my areas remotely and have created a property management company to help serve other investors in the area. Some may even call me the Mayor of T-Town . Going forward I would like to keep working with more JV partners and continue to scale into small multi family properties in Timmins ON. I would also like to continue to grow my property management company as well as some of the other active businesses I have on the go.
