Welcome to another edition of The Real Estate Investor Mini-Series on The Grow Give Expand Podcast. In this episode I am speaking with Zeb and Colleen Tsikira, otherwise known as The Tsikiras!
The Tsikiras decided back in 2014 to grab the bull by the horns, move to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, and create the lifestyle of their choosing by making a living through real estate investing. Since that time they have effectively built a real estate investment portfolio that includes investments in Yellowknife and Edmonton, as well as in the United States in Arizona and Ohio. They are now property millionaires and entrepreneurs that stick by the method of investing where returns are best, and have begun to help others through education and empowerment to become financially free as well.
In our conversation, The Tsikiras share their story and experiences which include:
- How they got started in real estate investing
- What drew them to move to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories to pursue careers and the start of their real estate investment portfolio
- How they were able to retire themselves from traditional jobs in only one-and-a-half years
- Explaining their “why”, and reiterating the importance of having a strong why for getting into real estate investing
- Discussion around the real estate market and local economy in Yellowknife, NWT
- How to create a real estate investment focused team of service providers in places where resources are limited
- How they broke through the barriers in their investing careers by joining a real estate investing community and getting connected with like-minded people
- How to enter into new real estate investment markets while minimizing risks, building relationships, and completing due diligence
- What The Tsikiras do to go the extra mile in terms of due diligence before making an investment
- What generating success in real estate has meant and led to in terms of the quality of their lifestyle
- What they do to foster and fortify a quality mindset
- 3 things they recommend every aspiring investor do to get started in real estate
- And a number of amazing tips, strategies, skills, and perspectives for running and growing a real estate investing business
