Buying Businesses as a Real Estate Investor with Bava Srinivasan

What if the skills you built in real estate could unlock success in any business?

 

In this episode, I sit down again with Bava Srinivasan to explore his leap from property investing into entrepreneurship across multiple industries. From buying into a downtown Montreal restaurant franchise to acquiring a group home and launching a social media agency, Bava shares how each venture came from curiosity, persistence, and applying lessons he first learned as an investor.

 

We dive into how real estate training—building teams, managing people, and optimizing systems—translates directly into running businesses. Bava also explains why decision-making speed matters, how failure becomes fuel for growth, and why providing value first is the best way to break into new industries.

 

Tune in to learn how to spot opportunities beyond real estate, transfer your skills with confidence, and build businesses that create both impact and freedom.
