If you've ever wondered how you could transform customer service skills from the restaurants industry into a thriving real estate business, then this is an episode you can't miss. 

Join us as we sit down with Giancarlo Carangelo, a seasoned real estate professional from Montreal. With over a decade of experience, Giancarlo walks us through his journey from high school to becoming a successful broker and property manager. 

He shares the pivotal role that listening to clients and tailoring strategies to their needs played in his success. From navigating the shift from brokerage to property management to offering invaluable tips on tenant screening, Giancarlo’s story is a treasure trove of insights for anyone interested in real estate.

Scaling a real estate portfolio comes with its own set of challenges, and Giancarlo doesn’t shy away from discussing the financial hurdles he faced. Discover the strategy of leveraging other people's money (OPM) and the crucial importance of educating oneself in property management. 

One of the episode's highlights is a jaw-dropping account of a seemingly perfect tenant who was running an illegal pit bull breeding operation, drawing significant media attention. 

This episode is a must-listen for both novice and seasoned investors, packed with real-world experiences and practical advice that could save you from costly pitfalls.
