Private real estate is often a part of a diversified investment strategy for the ultra wealthy and institutions for the multiple benefits the asset class has provided, yet many Canadians still concentrate their investment portfolios in just stocks and bonds often exposing themselves to more risk, volatility, and uncertainty.
Ryan Gubic (Personal CFO & Founder, MRG Wealth) sits down with Gabe Millard (Managing Partner, Avenue Living) to discuss private real estate investing, explore the benefits and risks, compare large scale strategies to owning a rental property yourself, and why Canadians should be asking: “Why isn't private real estate part of my investment strategy?”
