The last two years have seen a continued decline in the functional running of the Landlord Tenant Board and landlords and real estate investors are having to be much more accurate in the application process and creative in their approaches to tenant issues. 

This is increasingly requiring the need to have an experienced legal representative on your case, otherwise, you run the risk of waiting 8-12 months for a hearing, failing, and having to start all over again. 

One such expert is Andrew Choubeta, a paralegal and fellow real estate investor. Andrew can often be found sharing almost unbelievable stories about his work in this area. However, in today’s episode, he delves deeply into the various processes to be aware of right now, proposed future changes, and potential rent freezes and bylaw updates. 

This is a must-listen episode for any real estate investor because it’s not a case of if you face a tenant issue but when. 

In this episode you will learn about:

• Changes to the interpretations of N13’s and the impact on landlords
• How the Ontario rental landscape might change 
• Using Advanced Resolution Requests to speed things up
• The rental market freeze – if and when it might happen
• Short-term rental bylaws and changes
• How landlords can protect their investments and portfolios
• When a post-Nov 2018 rental increase may not apply.
• Trying to find the mystery prosecutor 
• The express lane for N7’s
• Is there a solution to LTB dysfunction?

Andrew Choubeta is a paralegal that cares about landlords and their investments. Servicing all of Ontario, Andrew and his colleagues at Caveat LLP have a combined decade of experience dealing with investor-focused Landlord and Tenant issues. As an investor himself, Andrew has a results-driven approach to legal practice.

Our podcast guest this week, Michael Dominguez, started investing when he and his wife were both working well-paid corporate jobs. But as he became more involved Michael decided to go into real estate full time, the choice he had to make was either as a realtor or a real estate investor because he found he couldn’t focus on both and have as much success.

In this episode, Michael shares what direction he took, how that has helped him build his portfolio, and now how he is helping others achieve similar results through his book. He also outlines a defining moment more recently when 3 clients passed away and how that pushed him to design the best life he is now leading and where that takes him.

In this episode you will learn about:

• Following the buy a property a year strategy
• Choosing between becoming a realtor or a real estate investor full time
• Structuring joint venture deals 
• Identifying quality properties in quality neighborhoods
• Finding ideal tenants who will leave in 2-5 years
• Planning and preparing for market turmoil
• Living the best life after having three clients pass away
• Offering tenants the option to move out
