Where Should I Invest? Real Estate Investing in Canada

In this episode of Where Should I Invest, Sarah Larbi welcomes back Kasey Wong to discuss what it really takes to build long-term financial freedom through Canadian real estate. Kasey shares how being let go early in his career pushed him to pursue secure, income-producing real estate, starting with a Toronto triplex in 2003. Years later, real estate gave him the leverage to walk away from his final job on his own terms. Together, Sarah and Kasey unpack:

Why “generational wealth” is really about passing down education and experience
Why 5–10 years is a realistic timeline for financial freedom
The dangers of coaches promising 1–2 year exits
Why multifamily and student housing remain reliable long-term plays
How to test rent demand using “ghost ads”
The reality of 30–35% down payments for larger multifamily deals
Cash-for-keys debate
Tenant horror stories and the mental staying power required in this business

Kasey Wong is a Canadian real estate investor specializing in multifamily and student housing properties. After starting with a Toronto triplex in 2003, he built long-term income-producing assets that eventually allowed him to leave traditional employment behind.

Kasey focuses on practical, conservative investing strategies and has recently returned to coaching and sharing real estate analysis via social media. This is an honest conversation about building freedom the right way without hype.To learn more and access past episodes, visit: https://sarahlarbi.com/podcast-home
