Episode 34 – Branding and Marketing in Real Estate Investing



Think you don’t need to market yourself in the world of real estate investing? Think again!

In this interview, I talk with my branding coach, Paul Copcutt, about the importance of branding, marketing and standing out from everyone else.

A business card and logo are not where marketing ends and they certainly are not what your brand is. Equally, social media is a tool to communicate your brand but you need to be sure that your message is a clear one for anyone to take notice in today’s noisy world.

Your personal brand is what sets you apart from the competition and tells prospective clients and partners why they should choose you over anyone else. But it is up to you to own the definition of who you are and personal branding enables you to do that.

In this episode you’ll learn:

– Tips on identifying what makes you unique

– Understanding the need to have a niche and specialty

– Why social media is not the be all and end all

– 20 topics you can use to create unique videos

– Tips on using LinkedIn to build your business

– Why doing your own podcast may be a great strategy

Episode 33 – Completing Every Type of Real Estate Investing Transaction



One of the challenges as your real estate investing career develops is being able to make the switch from one form of investing to another successfully.

With nearly 30 years of experience in real estate, there is not a strategy that Mat Frederick has not executed; in fact, it is believed he may be the only Canadian to have done so!  

Everything from starting in residential income property then expanded to buy-fix-sell, lease option, commercial buildings and new development.  Mathew has led on renovating properties over 28 years which includes partnering with a developer over the past 6 years to build houses and low-rise condo buildings.

He now focuses on managing the assets of commercial portfolios including plazas and multi-family buildings plus coaching investors in business and real estate acquisition. He will also be sharing his thoughts on what he sees as the next big investing opportunity, storage units.

His application of these strategies is more than just simple engagement – it’s about performing each strategy 4 or 5 times and wrangling out most kinks… the kind of kinks you only discover during application.

In this episode you’ll learn:

– Tips on getting a great Joint Venture Partner

– Tips and strategies on Real Estate Development

– Great Real Estate philosophies
