Episode notes
Canadian Investor Portfolio Review
- Michael Zuber reviewed Canadian investor Isaiah's portfolio and highlighted his one-rental-at-a-time mix of houses, duplexes, and triplexes.
- Isaiah found cashflow by leaving his expensive backyard market, used a W-2 for stability, and shared a spreadsheet with property-level numbers and surprises.
One Rental Strategy Works In Expensive Markets
- Building one rental at a time works even in higher-priced countries like Canada if you find markets where cashflow exists.
- Michael Zuber believes Isaiah's approach is repeatable in the U.S. though not universally available or easy.
Deflation In Goods But Services Keep Inflation Alive
- Truflation data shows pockets of deflation in housing, utilities, transportation and some food categories while PPI highlights persistent service inflation.
- Service inflation matters because the U.S. is a 65% consumer-based economy and could push overall inflation up.
