MY STORY...
Where were you when you started?
In 2016, we felt frustrated that our GTA home was paid-off, but we were not able to leverage the equity to expand our wealth and help others. We prayed that God would open doors for us to unlock the equity in our home, so that we could donate to free people from poverty and oppression.
Without any knowledge of Real Estate Investing (REI), we heard about Scott and Michael's free seminar in March and joined Keyspire in April 2016.
Since then, we have learned to leverage our home equity to invest passively in cash-flowing properties, private lending and land development, which has enabled us to travel the world (pre-pandemic), as well as donate to life saving global charities! Moreover, we have taught our teenagers the power of REI and our 18-year-old daughter has just purchased her first home as a student and is on her way to being a landlord, property manager and entrepreneur!
What role did Keyspire play in your success?
Keyspire was the key to our success!
The education, coaching, service providers, network and platform provided everything we needed to start on our real estate investing journey. We could not have achieved our success without Keyspire.
Thank You Keyspire!
What has been the biggest benefit of the Keyspire program you attended? How has it helped improve your family life?
The Keyspire program has not only provided our family with financial freedom, but it has also enabled us to donate regularly to free people from poverty and human trafficking!
Keyspire enabled us to create a family business where every family member is actively involved. My wife is the CEO and makes all the critical decisions. I run the numbers, analysis and manage the finances. Each of our two children have started as our bookkeepers while in high school and now our 18-year-old daughter will become a landlord and property manager, for her first student rental
Have you made money or increased you net worth using any of Keyspire training programs? If so, how many deals have you done? How long did it take? How much actual time did you spend to make what amount of money? How much has your net worth increased?
Thanks to Keyspire, our net worth has more than doubled since joining, over 4 and a half years ago!
We have completed 30 deals, which included: purchasing 5 turn-key purpose built 4-plexes (2 in July 2016, 2 in July 2017 and the last one in April 2020), a student rental (in December 2020) and investing in 11 Land Developments and 13 Syndicate Mortgages. All our properties were 100% financed, so the returns are infinite (~36% to 42% ROI using 4 Ways to Win)!
We invested 20-30 hours a week up front in 2016 to set things up, but now we have a system in place and only spend a few hours a month to connect with our property managers. Over the last 3 years, we have also learned to purchase and manage our properties virtually, thanks to our Keyspire referred on-site Power Teams!
If applicable, how has a Keyspire coach or advanced training helped you?
Our Keyspire coach (Catherine Sutton) was critical to our success, as she was able to help us develop our personal strategy to achieve our vision. She kept us accountable to our objectives and guided us away from several near disasters.
Today, we can still hear Catherine's voice in our heads, asking "is this really what you want to do with your time and money?"
What obstacle(s) did you face and what role did Keyspire play to help overcome the obstacles?
Since we started with no REI knowledge, experience, or contacts, Keyspire provided us with a comprehensive program that guided us step by step. Keyspire provides great education, so that we can make informed decisions objectively and provided us with leading experts who have become our Power Team in various cities.
Recently, we purchased our 5th purpose build 4-plex in Dec 2019, that closed in April 2020. During the pandemic, we started to get cold feet, since the necessary repairs identified in the contract could not be completed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Also, the rental market demand was uncertain. However, we were reminded by Michael and Scott to review the numbers closely and think long term. As a result, we were able to hold-back some funds and closed virtually, without a final inspection. Our Keyspire referred Power Team was able to help renovate and tenant the 4th unit, during the height of the shutdown, while we waited with anticipation 200 kilometers away. Fortunately, the property is now cash-flowing nicely!
What would you say to someone who is thinking about getting started in Real Estate using Keyspire programs? Would you recommend it?
We highly recommend the Keyspire programs and have referred many friends and family to Keyspire already.
Keyspire has something for everyone interested in Real Estate, from active to passive involvement.
It is important to utilize all the coaching sessions, to tailor the relevant aspects of the Keyspire program and ensure the principles are correctly applied.
Whether you have made money using Keyspire programs or not, has your newfound knowledge helped your confidence or outlook for your future?
The Keyspire programs have provided us with a great outlook for our family business and has enabled our children to understand how to generate passive income. Since joining Keyspire, we now have the confidence to run our own business and help others with their REI journey, towards financial freedom.
Has anyone from the Keyspire team inspired you? (e.g. Scott, Michael, coaches etc.) If so, how?
We were grateful and inspired when we first met Michael during our 2016 Investor’s Summit in Niagara Falls. We shared our dream of donating the majority of our profits to help free people from poverty and oppression. Michael recommended that we hold off initially on the giving, until we can grow more and then give more. He was right! As a result, we have been reinvesting in our business, which has enabled us to donate more now!
Also, Scott and Michael's student rental journey, inspired us to lend our 18-year-old the downpayment, so that she can own a cash-flowing student rental, while she studies at University and lives with her best friends.
We continue to be inspired by Keyspire, to share our Real Estate journey with others, so that more people can be helped!
How do Keyspire programs, strategies and materials compare with others you have seen or used?
The Keyspire content is very practical and relevant, much more than other programs we have seen. Everyone can benefit from Keyspire, whether money partners and/or working partners. Keyspire does an excellent job at simplifying the concepts, so that everyone can understand and take action!
How much has your income increased due to your successful strategies?
Thanks to Keyspire, our Real Estate portfolio generates nearly 6-figures annually, within our Real Estate Corporation (Kelen Properties Inc.) and we have not had to pay any taxes.
Since we have not required the income yet, we continue to reinvest the profits to grow our Real Estate business.

MY STORY...
Where were you when you started?
-Shift-worker, 11 hours/day, owning 1 house with a mortgage (asset /liability =1/3 split respectively)
-1 RRSP account with a private financial firm
-1 RRSP account with the local bank
Each annual vacation was a gamble with a credit card. After returning from the annual family trip, the re-payment of the credit card/LOC began. This process lasted a year (until pay-off of the borrowed funds) only to repeat it for the next year.
The outlook of my mutual funds account was rather bleak (not ensuring a 'freedom 55' as so often advertised).
What role did Keyspire play in your success?
As an immigrant to Canada I wasn't aware of the possibilities of real estate investments. Real estate investments, in my opinion, were the stuff of corporations, investment firms etc. Keyspire opened my eyes and 'injected' excitement, excitement of a new future path. In projecting our future portfolio annually, we are now on track in supplementing our retirement income through these investments, allowing us to live financially secure in our retirement.
What has been the biggest benefit of the Keyspire program you attended? How has it helped improve your family life?
After Keyspire opened my eyes, that real estate investing was possible for everyone, our family looked at income and creation of income with a purpose. We are no longer looking at saving accounts and roll over surplus from a possible month end good budgeting. Keyspire became a character forming process, being responsible for our own future (time and finances) as well as educating oneself in a subject never thought of (investments). Keyspire made us be bold, use financing, leverage and meet new people through newly created (likeminded people) networking groups.
Have you made money or increased you net worth using any of Keyspire training programs? If so, how many deals have you done? How long did it take? How much actual time did you spend to make what amount of money? How much has your net worth increased?
Deals/transactions were attempted many times (sometimes as training scenario in acquiring properties). Real deals which came to a full transaction: 9 (including JV's/LP's).
Our family net-worth has increased by 25% in 4 years. However, some JV's are just taking off the ground this year and the percentage ratio will likely increase due to the annual ROI and annual distributions.
If applicable, how has a Keyspire coach or advanced training helped you?
The first Keyspire coach or motivator was actually the first Keyspire course instructor.
He was encouraging and engaging but not like a salesman character. In that approach, I started to feel confidence and gained trust in the Keyspire program and in real estate investing itself.
What obstacle(s) did you face and what role did Keyspire play to help overcome the obstacles?
After a traffic accident, resulting in a couple years with a low Long Term Disability income, unable to finance mortgage of our own home- we decided to sell and use the proceeds to invest in real estate. This step(selling of the house) would have been taken place anyway, but the direction and the results thereof would have likely been very different. We were fortunate to further use our newfound knowledge (Keyspire) to utilize these funds for long term stability and income. This year, 2020, my wife lost her job due to Covid 19. However, and again, thanks to Keyspire, we were able to concentrate our energy into further investments, re-investing a maturing syndicated mortgage loan, and selling one of our duplex created properties in Ontario (due to the seller's market condition), and of course re-investing the proceeds.
What would you say to someone who is thinking about getting started in Real Estate using Keyspire programs? Would you recommend it?
Keyspire is a proven system, which has applications and is expandable into any market conditions. The Keyspire program provides a benefit of a networking group, personal, and professional. Keyspire recommended partners, like lawyers, insurance, or mortgage brokers that are always available to assist or to refer you to the right 'partner'.
Whether you have made money using Keyspire programs or not, has your newfound knowledge helped your confidence or outlook for your future?
Confidence yes, more than so, it has been incorporated into our lifestyle. We actually have "incorporated", proudly handing out our business cards at network meet-ups and showing off our small but informative website. Our investments in properties and JV's, holding properties, are held in our corporation. This will be a legacy passing on in our family.
How do Keyspire programs, strategies and materials compare with others you have seen or used?
I tend to trust Keyspire materials more than other things I read online. I am not sure if it is warranted, but from my experience, Keyspire holds the BEST professionals in the business who only want success for their fellow Keyspire-ites....Kespireians??? Competition is not the name of the game.
Has anyone from the Keyspire team inspired you? (e.g. SCott, Michael, coaches etc.) If so, how?
Scott at the initial 'crowd pleasing event', showing in a simple language with a simple formula and easy to understand examples, that real estate investing can be done by everybody. At the summit, Michael struck me as an honest ethical landlord and investor. This ethic set the tone for my future deals and investment attempts. I am looking in a JV or other passive investment that these investment offerings also benefit the local community. As a landlord, I support my tenants in supplementing their hydro in difficult times, send Christmas or baby shower gifts and address repair issues in a timely manner.
How much has your income increased due to your successful strategies?
My calculated annual income, I contribute to the Keyspire-way, has increased by 50%. However, the income I draw is minimal to avoid unnecessary consumer debt. Most of this newfound stream of income, has been re-invested in passive investments, to prepare a sizeable retirement portfolio.
