The End of an Era, The Continuation of a Legacy
After five decades as a real estate lawyer and the last several years teaching creative real estate strategies across Canada, I’m officially hanging up my briefcase and retiring. What a journey it’s been!
While I’m stepping away from active legal practice and in-person workshops, I’m pleased to announce that my mission continues through Focus Workshop online courses. These comprehensive programs represent the culmination of my 50 years in real estate law and decades of hands-on investing experience.
Learn Creative Real Estate Investing Online
Our online course library covers the full spectrum of creative real estate investing: rent-to-own strategies, creative joint ventures, assignments (wholesaling), agreements for sale, options, and fix-and-flip opportunities. Each course addresses not just the “how” but the crucial “why” behind each strategy, including legal considerations that protect you and your business.
These strategies are particularly relevant in today’s market. With lenders implementing stricter qualifying requirements and many investors struggling to access traditional financing, creative approaches have become essential tools for serious real estate investors. Our courses show you how to structure deals with little or no money down, how to use other people’s money ethically and legally, and how to generate cash flow in weeks rather than years.
What sets our online programs apart is their Canada-specific focus. Every strategy, every legal consideration, and every example is designed specifically for Canadian investors operating under Canadian law. You won’t waste time trying to adapt American strategies or wondering whether a technique is legal in your province.
Each online course includes comprehensive materials: detailed strategy explanations, real-world case studies, legal documentation templates, marketing approaches, and step-by-step implementation guides. You’ll learn how to recognize opportunities, qualify prospects, structure deals properly, and most importantly, how to execute transactions safely and profitably.
While I’ll genuinely miss the energy and interaction of live workshops, I’m confident that our online platform provides an even more comprehensive learning experience. Students can learn at their own pace, revisit complex concepts as needed, and access updated materials as market conditions evolve.
As I close this chapter and begin retirement, I want to thank every student, client, and fellow investor who made this journey possible. Your success stories have been my greatest reward, and knowing these strategies will continue helping investors across Canada gives me tremendous satisfaction.
Here’s to your continued success in creative real estate investing—the adventure continues online!
