In this episode of Real Money Talks, we sit down with August Biniaz to unpack the reality of real estate investing across borders. August shares how Canadian investors can access U.S. multifamily opportunities, why certain markets outperform, and what smart real estate investing looks like when interest rates are high and economic cycles shift.
We break down deal criteria, debt strategy, syndications, and the complex structure required to keep cross-border investing compliant on both sides of the border, what investors often overlook, and how to position yourself for long-term gains in 2025 and beyond.
Thank you for tuning in.
Remember, you donโt have to navigate your wealth journey alone. Every week I'm here with conversations to guide you, challenge you, and help you grow.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davisโ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
