Welcome back to another investor success story that you won't want to miss. Today, I'm chatting with Jordan Heckman from Jordan Station Design Co. 🏡 These guys are absolute rockstars when it comes to designing custom homes, handling duplex and triplex conversions, garden suites, and even larger multi-unit projects!

Before we dive into the juicy details of real estate, Jordan kicks things off with a wild story about a custom build near Lake Erie that got halted because they found human remains! 😲 Yeah, you heard that right. The police were called, and the site is now under investigation. Talk about a curveball in construction!

Jordan also shares his journey from studying math and physics to diving into architecture, and how he ended up back in St. Catharines. He’s been making waves since 2019 with Jordan Station Design Co., growing from a solo operation in his basement to a team known for their impressive investment designs. Over 350 conversions in the last five years? Now that’s what I call hustle! 💪

We also discuss how the market has shifted post-COVID, with investors teaming up for larger projects and adaptive reuse becoming a hot trend. 🏢 Imagine converting old commercial buildings into sleek residential spaces—it's happening, and it's exciting!

And if you're thinking about adding a garden suite to your property, Jordan's got another ace up his sleeve with his company Flexo Build. They’re making it easier and faster to set up detached ADUs. Think IKEA but for home building—it's that efficient! 🛠️

In this episode of the Return on Lifestyle show, I delve into the principle that investments should not only yield financial returns but also enhance one's lifestyle.

My guest, Christian Kalb, a dedicated real estate investor since 2016, primarily in Southern Ontario, shares his journey with us.

He focuses on acquiring small multi-unit properties and highlights the advantages of short-term rentals. Christian recounts a particularly harrowing experience with a triplex in St. Catharines, dealing with difficult tenants, and shares the invaluable lessons he learned from facing such challenges in real estate investing.

We also explore Christian's personal path, what drove him into real estate, and his strategies for achieving success.
