Episode #195: Pros and Cons of Growing a Real Estate Portfolio with your Spouse with David & Anuja Pereira

Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with David & Anuja Pereira

• How to get over the initial hurdles of investing in real estate.
• Why the “safe” path isn’t always the way to go.
• How to prioritize your relationship while growing a real estate business.
• How to educate yourself, your partners and your tenants to create a lasting business.

Anuja and David Pereira bought their first triplex in 2013. It was a money pit. But a profitable money pit and they caught the bug of real estate investing. They’ve grown their personal portfolio to include other self-managed properties including single-family homes, condos and a Rent-to-Own investment.

The COVID lockdown provided an opportunity to reassess their priorities and they pivoted to working together to help others through real estate.

Anuja became a full-time real estate agent with a focus on helping investors, teachers and downsizing seniors. She co-hosts Beyond the Bell: Lifestyle Design for Canadian Teachers, a podcast educating teachers on lifestyle freedom today and after the bell.

David launched a Rent To Own business (www.RentToGrowHomes.com) with a focus on Eastern Ontario. He helps responsible renters with good incomes earn home ownership. His business model offers a targeted 20% annualized return to his passive investors.

They share an office in their Mississauga home and have learned to avoid annoying each other (most of the time).
