One Million Dollars In Rental Income Per Year Achieved!
See how Carey Real Estate Group surpassed $1M in annual rents while helping agents earn full commission and gain hands-on experience in real estate investing.
0:00 Hey guys, what are you up to today?
0:02 Well, I have an envelope here for a deposit for Mr. Whitby for yet another property. Jeff, do you want to tell them what we do here at Carey Real Estate Group?
0:11 Yeah. We’ll take the cheque first. I was going to say, take the cheque.
0:18 But yeah, when you join the Carey Real Estate Group, you instantly gain an insanely great opportunity. Carey Real Estate Holdings buys properties all around Central Vancouver Island, most of them in Nanaimo. As long as you bring a qualified property that fits the requirements, they’re going to buy it. It’s not just talk — we walk the walk. The proof is in the pudding right here.
0:39 Yeah. And you get a massive discount on the commission though, right?
0:46 No, no, no. Full commission, right? Never discount yourself.
0:46 Exactly.
0:46 And exciting things with Carey Real Estate Holdings — why don’t you tell us about what we just hit?
0:54 Yeah. So, we set a pretty ambitious goal this year. As Jeff mentioned, we’re always investing in real estate, and we use our own realtors to invest in our real estate properties.
1:01 Our goal for this year was to hit a million dollars in annual rents just from properties purchased. And with this latest property purchase, we have now exceeded the million-dollar mark in annual rents.
1:10 So obviously, for our agents, it’s a huge value for them to join the team and be able to participate in transactions right away and learn how to do real estate deals from experienced realtors.
1:18 This is actually the second property we’ve bought in the last 30 days with one of our realtors from our team.
1:26 But you also get to learn from the fact that we own one of the most significant residential and commercial real estate holdings in all of Nanaimo.
1:34 So if you’re interested in learning about investment, if you’re interested in learning about real estate development, we’re actually in a building that won Building of the Year, which is our office.
1:42 The building across the street, which we own — where the Hullo Ferries are — we won Building of the Year for that building as well.
1:51 So when you join the Carey Real Estate Group, you don’t just get leads. You don’t just get great admin or great facilities. You join a team that is experienced in all facets of real estate.
1:59 It’s been really wonderful. Jeff and I worked together before in a different life, and so we speak a lot of the same numbers language, which is great.
2:08 But I think it’s fair to say you’ve probably learned a lot in terms of real estate investment just in the last six months.
2:19 Oh, so much. It’s been incredible what I’ve learned. Even the other day when we went after the inspection, just talking for an hour about cap rates and different things you need for the city.
2:31 Like when you’re allowed to have five units in a fourplex because something was built before 1975.
2:42 No, it’s great. It’s cool.
2:45 So thank you again. Thanks for negotiating a great deal. I know I pushed too hard. I’m not an easy client.
2:50 But we got the number we wanted, and we didn’t think we would get it.
2:54 No, I think we did great. All parties are happy — especially us.
2:57 Yeah. All right. Thanks again. If you’re interested in joining the Carey Real Estate Group, go to CareyRealEstateGroup.com.
3:04 That’s our team, and we’d love to chat with you.
3:13 Even if you don’t want to join the team and you just want to learn more about real estate investing, real estate development, or any of that, we’re an open book here.
3:17 Come hang out with us — and let’s have some fun.
