Imagine facing a financial abyss and clawing your way back to stability, then striving to make a lasting impact on the housing crisis.

Judi's voyage from monetary instability to real estate heavyweight is a testament to resilience & the power of savvy investing. She joins us, imparting wisdom on the nuances of affordable housing & the due diligence paramount for thriving in the real estate world.

Her story is not just a personal triumph but a beacon for those seeking to turn adversity into social good through strategic investment.

As Canadians grapple with the stark reality of housing instability, the quest for affordable living spaces has never been more urgent.

This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's about uncovering solutions and the ripple effects of collective efforts. We uncover the challenges that dishearten the younger generation & renters, and question the effectiveness of government interventions.

The tales of homeowners downsizing to campers & seniors, caught in the web of soaring living costs, are stark reminders of the gravity of the situation.

Yet, amidst these challenges, we uncover investment opportunities that promise not just returns, but also societal benefits.

Wrapping up our deep dive, we pivot to the criticality of financial literacy, highlighting programs that arm the youth with the financial prowess they need to navigate a complex future.

Judi navigates us through the labyrinth of passive real estate investment, elucidating the importance of understanding risk & the potent mix of financial gain & societal contribution that comes with socially responsible investing.

We close by championing the ultimate investment: oneself.

Empowerment through knowledge isn't just a mantra; it's the key to unlocking a world of possibilities in your financial and investing journey.
