Discover how Ken's strategic acumen saw him rapidly expand his real estate holdings from humble beginnings, using innovative approaches like corporate ownership and personal guarantees. 

He takes us through his transition into property wholesaling, where his deep market knowledge and expansive investor network became key drivers of his success. 

Ken's story offers a robust lesson in adaptability and the power of strategic thinking in real estate.

Our conversation takes a serious turn as Ken candidly reflects on the hurdles he faced in commercial real estate, including the growing pains of rapid expansion and the costly consequences of inadequate due diligence. 

He opens up about the critical importance of building a reliable power team and setting up the right corporate structures to safeguard against financial missteps like theft and embezzlement. 

Yet, amidst these challenges, Ken shares his passion for win-win-win deals that create opportunities for others, such as rent-to-own arrangements that pave pathways to home ownership.

Ken's journey is not just about property accumulation but also personal growth and mentorship. 

From an unforgettable weekend in Winnipeg filled with bold moves and unconventional property acquisitions to planning an opportunity fund for strategic deals as retirement nears, Ken emphasizes the balance of empire-building and knowing when to pause. 

His insights on networking, family support, and continual self-investment highlight how personal and professional lives intertwine, revealing the limitless possibilities when one invests in oneself.
