In this episode of Real Money Talks, we sit down with August Biniaz to unpack the reality of real estate investing across borders. August shares how Canadian investors can access U.S. multifamily opportunities, why certain markets outperform, and what smart real estate investing looks like when interest rates are high and economic cycles shift.
We break down real estate investing deal criteria, debt strategy, syndications, and the complex structure required to keep cross-border investing compliant on both sides of the border, what investors often overlook, and how to position yourself for long-term gains in 2025 and beyond.
