  • Investing in Retirement
    2022/05/06
    Sylvia Ho talks with Filomena who, along with her husband, is utilizing the J.O.M.P program to finance the purchase of a rental property and future retirement home in Florida. Filomena shares how the challenges she initially expected to face were not as difficult as expected with Sylvia’s assistance.Filomena and her husband John have been married for 20 years and have two kids aged almost 14 and 12. After recently paying off the mortgage on their current home in Toronto, they began to wonder how they could tap into the value of that home and grow their assets. Sylvia confirms that the equity in owned homes can lead to opportunity to buy investment properties, which is exactly what Filomena did.While Filomena loves the Toronto area, she and her husband decided to explore property options in Miami Beach, Florida. She cites the beautiful weather as a deciding factor but also shares that a key thought behind Florida is to secure a place for future retirement. Something to invest in now that will also present a place to retire when they’re ready. Filomena’s advice to listeners is not to be afraid but to arm yourself with information and not assume that difficulty with a first property will lead to difficulty with a second.  To Get in Touch with Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagramInterested in learning more about Sylvia's J.O.M.P (Just One More Property) program?

Tell me a little bit about yourself.Filomena  00:05So I'm married, now coming on 20 years, believe it or not. 45. I have two kids aged almost 14 and 12. We're kind of at the point of our lives where we just finished paying off a mortgage and thought, how can we tap into that value somehow? And how can we make our assets grow? I mean you start to think about retirement - figure now's the time, and that's what's prompted us to pursue this strategy.Sylvia Ho  00:33Beautiful, beautiful. So what were you looking for when you first came to me?Filomena  00:37I was looking to find out what our financing options were. How to tap into the equity that's in our home.Sylvia Ho  00:43Right, right. Equity just sounds like a foreign word because people just don't understand what the word equity is. I have my definition of equity. What do you think equity means to you?Filomena  00:52My net worth.Sylvia Ho  00:53Yeah. You know what they say a lot of Canadians, their biggest asset is sitting in their floorboards. Right? And that floorboard is not making you any money. So right now you're looking to use that money that's sitting in your house to make more. Did you think that you could ever own another property?Filomena  01:09Originally I thought, given the housing market in Toronto, I thought it would be very difficult. But given how it's taken off of late, I started to realize, hey, there's potential there that we can kind of harness that growth and get another property as well. So did I think I could 20 years ago? No, but I'm starting to see my view has changed.Sylvia Ho  01:30Okay, beautiful. You're one of those clients that are like, hey, Sylvia, I don't want to buy in the Toronto area. What are you and your husband thinking of buying right now?Filomena  01:37We are thinking of buying in Miami Beach, believe it or not. We've done quite a bit of traveling over the years, and there's always lovely places that you want to go and see. But it was unique to us, because it was very much like Toronto, which we love, except it's got nice weather year round. And that's what attracted us. And plus the entry levels to get into the real estate are a little bit more attractive than they are here. And so we thought that, you know, why not combine investment property with what we hope will ultimately be a place that we can go and spend part of our retirement in. So that was the plan.Sylvia Ho  02:13Wow. Beautiful, beautiful. It's definitely warmer down there than up here. So where are you in the process right now in regards to the J.O.M.P. program? And what kind of obstacles are you facing?Filomena  02:23The obstacle we're facing right now is contrary to what I thought. I thought it would take a long time to sort of line up the financing, and all the legals and all the logistics, that part's actually been - thanks to you - quite easy. The challenge we're having is supply, we have our hearts set on a particular type of property - number beds, number bath - and for us right now the challenge has been a supply in those type of properties. There just isn't a lot right now. Trying to balance being patient with being afraid that what little there is there would be scooped up. So that's been the challenge for us.Sylvia Ho  02:56Right, right. Right. And then so your realtor down in Florida, what are they saying? Like ...

  • Understanding Debt with Armel
    2022/05/06
    Sylvia Ho welcomes Armel to the podcast to talk about the purchase of his first investment property and the differences between bad debt and good debt. Armel and his wife are young, motivated, and analytical, and Armel shares how he dove into researching finance and learned to view debt differently ahead of his real estate investment. Armel shares with Sylvia that a lot of his “why” in terms of the J.O.M.P Program and investment is his family. He and his wife share a very strong set of values and had a lot of conversations about what would be right to propel their young family forward and when the right time would be to do it. Armel says he leveraged information from online, from Kiyosaki books, from friends, and from his passion for knowledge to prepare for the action he wanted to take.Sylvia learns that Armel views his residence property as a more emotional purchase but the investment property as exactly that: investment. He appreciated that Sylvia was someone who could understand his direct questions about interest, mortgage, equity, and the more mathematical reasons behind his choice. Armel has great insight into debt, how to view and differentiate types of debt, managing your property, and why “just do it, take action” is his advice to anyone considering the J.O.M.P Program and real estate investment.Resources mentioned in this episode:Robert KiyosakiTo Get in Touch with Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagramInterested in learning more about Sylvia's J.O.M.P (Just One More Property) program?

  • Setting Kids Up for Future Real Estate Success with Roy and Hayden
    2022/05/06
    Sylvia Ho talks with Roy and Hayden about purchasing their first investment property and how  they changed their minds about real estate investment. She discusses the opportunity the J.O.M.P Program opened for Roy and Hayden, their motivating desire to ensure secure futures and real estate opportunities for their three children, and invest in a comfortable retirement for themselves.Roy came to Sylvia as the one most reluctant to buy additional properties. He admits he viewed their two existing properties as having a lot tied up in them, hadn’t had the best experiences, and really was of the mindset that their debt should be paid off before additional investments were considered. After he and Hayden attended Sylvia’s seminar, they saw more opportunity in working with a broker instead of the banking institutions both are employed by. With one new property in Calgary to their name, they have plans to buy two more and have encouraging words for anyone discouraged by banks and financial institutions about the potential with a broker.Roy and Hayden are very encouraged about the equity they will be building with new real estate investments and see great opportunity now to buy property that can add to their positive cashflow and set their kids up for futures in real estate. With one son in university, a daughter headed there shortly, and another child in high school, they understand the market will not be easy for their kids and feel less concerned about having the means to help them out now. Sylvia encourages listeners to take Roy’s advice about starting in on real estate investment as early as possible. Roy and Hayden share very practical advice about their journey in this important episode.  To Get in Touch with Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagramInterested in learning more about Sylvia's J.O.M.P (Just One More Property) program?

And that says a lot because we do get employee discounts, as far as mortgages and things are concerned. However, when I take those into account, they still can't provide the same type of return for me as compared to your own plan. Then that makes me think, you know, clearly what they're doing is for them, not for me. Yeah that speaks volumes. So, you know, when I'm working for a major financial institution, and I'm going somewhere else to get my mortgage, that's something that says a lot.Sylvia Ho  00:40Hey, friends, have you ever wondered how you can pay off your mortgage faster, or maybe you'd like to help your kids get into the real estate market, or, better yet, retire with some passive income?

They went into this real estate investment side because they want to do this for their kids. Is that correct?Hayden  01:47That's correct. And for retirement.Sylvia Ho  01:49And for retirement. So talk to me a little bit more about what your plans were, what you guys wanted to do, and where you guys ended up.Hayden  01:55Plans are investor in three properties so we can get enough money for retirement, and also to help our kids out with their education, and help them out with the house later on in life. So that's mainly our goal.Sylvia Ho  02:11Okay, so as parents, basically you're saying, I'm doing this for the kids but I also want to watch out for my own retirement as well.Hayden  02:17Exactly, yep.Sylvia Ho  02:19When you first came to me, what were you looking for me to do for you?Hayden  02:24To help us invest in additional properties, with the same amount of payments that we're making overall, for car payments, and whatever other miscellaneous payments.

  • Buying A Rental Property: Just Do It
    2022/05/06
    Sylvia Ho talks with Mima, a client in the J.O.M.P program who just bought her first rental property. Sylvia and Mima break down the real estate journey Mima has been on with valuable insight. Mima shares the emotions she’s feeling, her process with the real estate agent, and how she selected the neighborhood where she purchased the house.Mima reveals that she came to Sylvia to renew the mortgage on her family’s house but when Sylvia introduced her to the J.O.M.P program, it felt right. She and her husband initially considered purchasing their rental property in Toronto, but after researching the real estate market and the offerings in outlying areas, Mima settled on Peterborough. She details her research and reasons for Sylvia and in doing so, provides key factors to consider when selecting property.What Mima really wants the rental property to do is provide for her children: to help secure future financial milestones for them - things like weddings, properties, schooling - but also so she can consider an early retirement. When she selected Peterborough as the neighborhood to invest in, Mima interviewed three different realtors and she tells Sylvia what she learned through that process. While Mima will admit to feeling both excited and terrified, she is ultimately extremely satisfied with the house, how the numbers work, and what Sylvia and the J.O.M.P program provided for her. Her advice to others who may be on the fence is simple: just do it.To Get in Touch with Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagramInterested in learning more about Sylvia's J.O.M.P (Just One More Property) program?

It's exciting times. Now we just went over your Excel sheet and your numbers. How do you feel like, if we put the emotions aside and we just look at numbers, how are you feeling about the numbers?Mima  01:09I mean, the numbers look great. Yeah, as you said, we went through the sheet and what the outcome that we're going to see, hopefully, and you know, 15 years is not anything we would have been able to do, I don't think, without acquiring a second property and following your program. So yeah, I'm like, really excited.Sylvia Ho  01:28Beautiful, beautiful. So, now when you first came to me, what were you looking for?Mima  01:35Our five year term was up on our current home. We're just kind of like shopping around for rates and wanted to find a new agent to kind of help us out, and it was a Facebook group, actually, that I'm a part of, and I searched it and your name came up. And they're like, oh, and Sylvia helped us with another property and helped us figure out the numbers. And I was like, is this, can we do this? And then I reached out to you and you were like, yes, you can.Sylvia Ho  02:03Awesome. So your mortgage was up for renewal? You were searching for a good connection to renew your mortgage? And that's it, that's what you were looking for, right?Mima  02:11That was it, yeah.Sylvia Ho  02:13Okay. The world of real estate, investing in real estate, how has that perspective changed in wealth building for you now?Mima  02:19Like, the way that I grew up it was you get to homeownership, as quickly as you can, you don't carry debt. That was my Eastern Bloc, you know, first generation Canadian mentality of never carrying a debt. So it never even occurred to me that, like, you can pull equity from your home to then purchase another thing, like I heard about it, but that was something abstract that other people did. And it wasn't something that was for me or my family. So now having this insight into this whole other world of using a second property to help pay off this current property, and seeing that we could be, you know, mortgage free in less time than what we had originally signed up for, ...

  • Self-Employment Is Not A Barrier To Investment
    2022/05/06
    Sylvia Ho talks with Ali, a business owner in the Toronto area who realized success in investment through the J.O.M.P program. Ali explains how with the advice and guidance of Sylvia, he was able to take out a second mortgage on his condo and buy an investment property to rent out. Ali shares how he was seeing the equity building up in his condo and came to Sylvia to see if he was eligible for a second mortgage. As a self-employed business owner, many expenses can be deducted on income tax which makes earnings show lower, so he wondered if he was even eligible. Sylvia and the J.O.M.P program walked him through the process and Ali learned he was able to obtain the second mortgage he wanted, despite his self-employed status, and turned that into purchasing his first rental property.Ali has already rented out his new property to a tenant and the process by which he selected and interviewed the tenant applicants is something Sylvia explores with him. He has realized success not only in financing his new property, but in navigating the sometimes daunting idea of locating a quality tenant to rent it to. Ali is enjoying great success and encourages others who are on the fence or unsure to talk to professionals like Sylvia to help navigate the process.To Get in Touch with Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagramInterested in learning more about Sylvia's J.O.M.P (Just One More Property) program? Visit www.justonemoreproperty.caLearn more about Sylvia's services: www.sylviaho.ca— TranscriptionSylvia Ho  00:00Hey friends. So we are here today with Ali. He's a business owner here in the Toronto area, and he purchased his first rental property. Being a self-employed individual, you do show lower income because you have your deductions, right? And then being self-employed, a lot of self-employed people are like 'Can I really, you know, purchase another property, will the banks actually lend me money?' So he talks about that process. And then the other thing that we're going to talk about today is how he vetted his tenant. And when an issue came up with the tenant, how he dealt with it. So enjoy this podcast. And if you guys are interested in learning more about the J.O.M.P. program, which is all about owning just one more property, do connect with me go to SylviaHo.ca to book a 15 minute consult, and then we can chat and see if J.O.M.P. is all for you. Thanks.Sylvia Ho  00:50Hey everyone, today we're joined by Ali. Ali is from Toronto. He is a business owner and he owns a condo at Yonge and Sheppard area. He was seeing the equity that was building up in his condo, and he said 'What am I going to do with this equity?' So he decided to purchase an investment property. And today that's what we're going to talk to him about. So Ali, welcome to today's podcast.Ali  01:11Thank you, Sylvia. Thanks for having me.Sylvia Ho  01:13So talk to me a little bit more about what were you looking for when you first came to me? Like before you even thought about, you know, buying an investment property? What did you come to me for?Ali  01:24I was thinking if I am eligible at all for more, just for a second mortgage. So that's why I initially consulted with you to see if I'm eligible for a second mortgage. And I was thinking about a potential purchase of a second investment property.Sylvia Ho  01:41For an investment property. And then when you're saying potentially eligible, my understanding is because you're a business owner, right? And as a business owner, we can deduct a lot of expenses, right? So you and I, we're in the same boat. Because we're self-employed we can deduct a lot of stuff and then on our income taxes it always shows lower, but we actually make more money, but with the deductions it does show lower and it's hard to qualify as a self-employed individual.Ali  02:05That's correct.Sylvia Ho  02:06So as a self-employed individual, most people are finding it tough. They're like oh, you know what, it's great that I'm self-employed but sometimes it's tough to qualify for a mortgage. And so walk me through that process. Why did you want to invest in real estate?Ali 02:19So the idea was basically, to leverage this money or investment in the future and having an early retirement maybe, or using part of this investment for daily use in the retirement time. And that's why I consulted with you as you mentioned, because a business owner going through a different route and different path in terms of, like, the income, so I wasn't quite sure if I'm eligible to get a second mortgage. And then you introduced me to other lenders, and there are different ways of to look at the income.Sylvia Ho  02:52Right. Right. Absolutely. So talk to me about the process of going through J.O.M.P., like, was that as hard as you thought? Was it easy?Ali 03:01Yeah, so the process itself, I think it was very step by step, explained to me by yourself, you know, ...

  • Dying to Save on Taxes? Protect Your Assets!
    2023/05/04
    Sylvia Ho talks to Ben Corriveau, a financial planner and insurance agent, and Derrick Ang, a Family Law lawyer, on how to be on the defense about the wealth you gain through the J.O.M.P. program. Now that you have assets in place, how do you protect them upon your death or when your children live with partners in your properties?Ben Corriveau discusses how to avoid large tax bills landing on your beneficiaries after your death. His advice centers around life insurance. People often think they don’t need it, but Ben says it will add liquidity and 99% of the time you will want it. Get it young so it’s easier and less expensive to get the policy you want, but don’t be discouraged if you’re older. Find out why, and what else he shares with Sylvia. Derrick Ang talks about prenups and cohabitation agreements (or marriage contracts as they’re known in Ontario). If your child lives in a property with a partner and they marry and the property becomes the matrimonial home, half of that property could be claimed by the spouse in the event of a divorce. Even though it’s your property! Find out exactly what Derrick advises to avoid this situation and who to speak with for the right advice. –Sylvia Ho | Mortgage Edge Agent 1 | LIC #10680 FSCO# M08003923: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagram_TranscriptSylvia Ho: [00:00:05] Hey, friends, have you ever wondered how you can pay off your mortgage faster? Or maybe you like to help your kids get into the real estate market, or better yet, retire with some passive income? Well, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Sylvia Ho Mortgage podcast. My name is Sylvia. I'm here to teach you how to achieve your goals simply by owning just one more property. Sylvia Ho: [00:00:28] Hey, everyone, it's Sylvia here. Welcome to the J.O.M.P. podcast. Today we have two visitors. We have Ben and we have Derrick. Ben and Derrick are insurance agents and a family law lawyer. And they talk about how to protect our wealth. The J.O.M.P. program's all about owning just one more property and building wealth and real estate is a way to increase your net worth. So we want to know how to protect that now. Most of my clients are wanting to learn how to build wealth outside their 9 to 5 through the J.O.M.P. strategy and the J.O.M.P. strategy is all about owning just one more property and building wealth and building intergenerational wealth to pass down to our kids and to our grandkids. Now the J.O.M.P. method is all about offense. It's all about building that wealth. Today we're going to be talking about defense. We're going to talk about how to take care of those assets that we built up over time. And we have Ben Corriveau. He's a financial planner and an insurance agent. And we have Derrick Ang, who is a family law lawyer. Welcome, Ben, and welcome Derrick. Ben Corriveau: [00:01:35] Thank you, Sylvia. Nice to be here. Derrick Ang: [00:01:38] Hi Sylvia. Thank you for the introduction. Sylvia Ho: [00:01:40] You're welcome. Nice to have you guys here today. So I teach my clients how to buy one more property because in my opinion, real estate is a way to increase your net worth by a lot. Right? But there's something called government and tax, right? And someone shared with me, they're like, Sylvia, you know what? You bought all these properties, you have all this wealth. What are you going to do when you die? Like, have you taken care of your death tax? I'm like, what? What is death tax? What are you talking about? Like, I have to pay taxes upon my death. And then so that's where we got into the whole idea of life insurance. So Ben, talk to me about how my clients can protect their assets with life insurance. Ben Corriveau: [00:02:25] So one thing I keep in mind, especially when working with real estate investors, is knowing that what they're doing is really, it's trying to supercharge their portfolio. They're not like the average investor where they're willing to look at the bigger picture and really control hard assets, which is great. It's fantastic. But we got to really make sure we look at the full picture on what that asset's eventually going to be and what the purpose is. There's two spots to it, so it's growing an asset and then using that as income in retirement. So when I like to start with the plan, let's try to mitigate the risk for the short term. One thing that is necessary for real estate investor is to keep making sure these mortgage payments are maintained. And the key to that is that, hey, we're here to do it. We're here to make these payments. So if husband and wife own a property, they might be relying on two incomes. So if there's all of a sudden in the short term, one income that's not there, that's going to be big, big trouble for the long term picture that they have together. So really easy thing to put in place is a simple term life insurance policy that'll be there to protect in the short term to make sure that whether...

  • How you should manage your rental property
    2023/05/25
    Sylvia Ho talks to two J.O.M.P. clients about managing their out of town properties in today’s episode. The first are Gem and Drex, who purchased in Kingston. The second is Mick, who purchased in Peterborough. Each of them has a different way of managing their property, and they each share their experiences and why their chosen strategy works for them.Drex and Gem searched Toronto properties before realizing they were priced out of Toronto. So they bought their first investment property in Kingston because that was Drex’s home town and he knew the city well. They use a property management company to run their property and are extremely happy with that decision. Sylvia discusses how the property management company works and why it suits them.Mick searched Toronto for a condo before realizing that was out of his price range. He bought his investment property in Peterborough because, as he explains, that’s where his agent found the right property. Mick made the choice to renovate the basement of his new property so he could have two separate units in the one house, and two rents coming in. Mick does not use a property management company and he shares with Sylvia exactly why he prefers to do it himself. The tips and honest financial talk shared in this episode will be valuable to everyone considering an investment property. And both clients say to do it now, not to wait. –Sylvia Ho: schedule a call | facebook | linkedin | youtube | instagram_TranscriptSylvia Ho: [00:00:05] Hey, friends, have you ever wondered how you could pay off your mortgage faster? Or maybe you like to help your kids get into the real estate market. Or better yet, retire with some passive income. Well, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Sylvia Ho Mortgage Podcast. My name is Sylvia. I'm here to teach you how to achieve your goals simply by owning just one more property. Hey, friends, it's Sylvia here. Welcome to the J.O.M.P. podcast. Today we are joined by two different J.O.M.P. clients. One is Drex and Gem and how they share their story on how they're handling the negative cash flow with the rising rates and stuff. It's been more difficult and we're talking about how they're handling the cash flow on their rental property and on their owner occupied property and how they manage their property. Their property is out of town, out in the Kingston area. So for them it's like how do they manage it when they live here in Toronto, they have a little one and they have a property out in Kingston. We also hear from Mick, and Mick also purchased a property out of town and he has a different way in managing his property that's out of town as well as we're going to hear from him about handling negative cash flow. Sylvia Ho: [00:01:17] Drex and Gem are J.O.M.P. clients. They purchased their first investment property a few years ago and we're here to talk about what their experience is in regards to being a landlord. Why did they want to go in to J.O.M.P. in the first place? And what their beliefs are in regards to building wealth. So Gem, Drex, thank you so much for coming on to the podcast. So I'm just going to ask you the first question. Did you ever think that you would be a landlord? Drex: [00:01:40] Yeah, it was actually always part of our plan. Since early in our relationship before we married, we had always planned on investing in real estate. I remember many years ago saying, Let's let somebody else pay the mortgage sort of thing, and we got delayed on it. We've been married five years now. We just invested in real estate this year, but we got delayed on it just because of the circumstances of life. We had a kid in the meantime, things got busy. We felt the markets weren't good, but we kind of ended up trying to get away from just timing the market and just trying to get in as early as we can stay in as long as you can, you know. Gem: [00:02:14] It's always been something I'd hoped for, but I didn't know how to get started, how to do it. So, and you've actually helped us tremendously with that. So thank you. Sylvia Ho: [00:02:24] Okay. The biggest objection when it comes to owning their first property is like it took me so much effort to get into my first property. You're telling me I can buy a second property? Like, is that actually possible? And a lot of people just don't know how to get started in this whole process, right? So that's awesome. You guys have a dream, realized it, made it happen, right? So now you own another property. Talk to me a little bit more about why did you want to get into real estate investing. You said that you've always wanted to. Why? What are the reasons? Gem: [00:03:00] Because the money is there. Drex: [00:03:02] Yeah, we understand that real estate is where the money is. And for average people like us, I mean, in our parents time, you could work your job and pay your mortgage and pay down your mortgage and get it paid off and then you're set. But in our time, that doesn't work anymore....

Or maybe you like to help your kids get into the real estate market. Or better yet, retire with some passive income. Well, you're in the right place. Welcome to the Sylvia Ho Mortgage podcast. My name is Sylvia. I'm here to teach you how to achieve your goals simply by owning just one more property. Today we have Daryll. Daryll is a real estate investor. We're going to talk about his relationship to debt and how him and his wife were very adverse to debt. They're like, Oh, no, we want to get rid of debt. We want to get rid of debt. Until he fell into real estate through a conversation, in a conversation where he found someone that he trusted and guided him through this whole process. And his first two investments were two condos, pre-construction condos, that he bought within the first six months. It's now eight years later and we talk about how he manages his own properties. So Daryll, thank you very much for coming onto the podcast. Why don't you tell me a little bit more about yourself and then we could talk about your real estate investing life. Daryll: [00:01:37] Thanks, Sylvia. I appreciate you inviting me on to this podcast. You know, many moons ago I used to be an accountant and finally got out of that, started to be something different and eventually landed up doing some training and development work. And that led me to owning a couple of health clinics for about ten years or so. Just recently, I got out of the health care business and I went back to doing consulting for manufacturing and service companies. And so in between that time, I've been looking at, my wife and I've been looking at real estate and see how that could be our next stage in our investment. Sylvia Ho: [00:02:16] What's your wife and you're thinking about real estate? Daryll: [00:02:19] We've always thought about real estate, but I think we're always hesitant and probably maybe about eight years ago with the acupuncturist that used to work for me had suggested I talk to his real estate agent. And I talked to her and she gave her story and it kind of said, Oh, this is the right person that we feel comfortable to do our first purchase. And she didn't really push us to buy anything too big. The first one was a one bedroom apartment near St Moritz Market. And so we really thought real estate could expand our portfolio but didn't really know how. And when she came along, that helped us solve that equation, someone to kind of handhold us. I think that's what we were looking for. We are fairly conservative investors. Our house just was paid off for and we were thinking not to expand our debt levels because I don't think we were comfortable at that time. But after our first foray into our condo, I guess the rest was history. Then we started to look at some other properties. I think this was about eight years ago and I think we bought two in a matter of about six months, and then maybe a year later we got another property that's still being constructed. Sylvia Ho: [00:03:37] Okay, so it sounds like you got into this whole real estate investing through a conversation. And then you've been always thinking about it, but just didn't really know how to get started. But because you had someone that you trusted and someone who can really guide you through this, you're like, Oh, I feel comfortable in doing this. And you just did it in little baby steps. Daryll: [00:03:56] Yeah. And I think this is where for people to consider is make sure that they are talking to a few experts, people that they feel comfortable with, and they trust, that can guide them through the process. So they're ...
