Joint Ventures in Real Estate: Tyler Soullier's Windsor Guide

Most real estate investors treat joint ventures as a last resort — but Tyler Soullier has built his entire portfolio around them. In this episode, Scott Dillingham sits down with Tyler to break down how Windsor-area JV deals actually work and how to structure partnerships that protect everyone.

The focus shifts to joint ventures (JVs): 50/50 partnerships where Tyler sources deals, analyzes (e.g., 5-10 year projections), manages renovations/property via his team, while partners provide capital/down payments—ideal for those lacking time/knowledge. Scott handles financing at LendCity, ensuring optimal rates/terms amid 2025's BoC cuts (2.25% as of November). In Windsor's resilient 2025 market (CMHC predicts dip with lower starts, but tightening resale in late 2025; July averages $592K, down 1.63% YoY per local reports, recovery eyed for 2026), JVs enable passive investing with minimal risk. They discuss using privates (7-8% rates as business costs), avoiding emotional bidding, and long-term holds for wealth-building.
