Welcome to the Inspired To Invest podcast, where we’re sharing stories from real estate investors and how investing has changed their lives. This episode of Inspired To Invest has been brought to you by Coast to Coast Homes and Real Power. Hi everybody, welcome to the Inspire To Invest podcast.
00:22
I have an amazing guest with me today, named Mitch Parmasar. To introduce him formally, mitch started with somewhat humble beginnings. He came to Canada as a first generation immigrant with the hope and the dream of a better life, like, I’m sure, many people that come to this country feel like. He’s got two children and he’s very proud of them, of course, but they’re also very proud of him for building quite the real estate empire. He also discovered a real estate education company called Key Spire and realized that it was changing people’s lives for the better. He got involved in a coaching capacity and today he helps people basically realize their dreams of being a full-time investor. At this point, he has a goal of assisting a million people to achieve financial freedom with their investing opportunities, training and development company through his business, SV Investments. Without further ado, I just wanted to introduce Mitch. Maybe you can tell us a little bit more about yourself and what you were actually doing before you discovered real estate as a career path.
Speaker 2
01:21
Thank you very much, Serena. First of all, thank you very much for having me as a guest on your podcast. I’m really excited for you. Congratulations. I think this is just amazing. We need more and more of this. You’re also a guest of my podcast, the Pineapple Podcast.
Speaker 1
01:39
I love that You’re one of my first.
Speaker 2
01:42
Very good. So, yeah, I love the concept that you’re creating here, inspired to invest. I mean that is brilliant. That is exactly what it is about people trying to progress themselves into a lifestyle where they’re really happy, a happy fro for what they get up in the morning and what they do and where they are going. And real estate investing is one of those vehicles that allows us to have that lifestyle choice. So you asked what we were doing before.
02:16
So when I you know part of our journey, my wife and I, we both love real estate, but we discovered real estate. We took chances in real estate 20 years ago. There was no community, there was no platform. It was literally build your relationships and get going and hope for the best. We embraced it. You know, we started off as a renter, just like everybody else in this world.
02:39
When you come here, you know Parkdale was the very first place I stayed with some really, really close friends and family. They’re more like family. You know that. That, if you, if you know the area 20 years ago. That’s a rough area in Toronto, but it was also home. It was the place to start, but it was just the starting point and so, you know, we grew ourselves, we got into our first property. In fact, when our first child was being born, we got a pre-construction property. So, in time Lord well, the baby was born and then, maybe a month after, we moved into the house and then, as second baby was coming, we decided we wanted to get into a bigger house, but it was a pre-construction again. So during that time of waiting, we decided you know what, we’re not selling the first house, we’re going to give it a go.
Speaker 1
03:32
Yeah.
Speaker 2
03:32
And we did. We absolutely just went for it. Now we said we’ll do the perfect thing, we’ll find a real estate agent that knows about this business because, hey, you know, we were just discovering, yeah, so we did, we paid them and then they were like okay, crickets, oh, hello, yeah, where’s the tenant? Like you’re supposed to get as a tenant Two mortgages is very stressful, like a tenant, you know. And finally they got somebody. They’re like come over. Yeah, we’ve done everything, everything is good, it’s vetted, it’s checked, signed the agreements. Two months in perfect tenants, three months, four months and five months. It’s like, oh my God, they did they did.
04:18
You know. The thing is, you know, looking back now it’s like, okay, we certainly learned lessons that we didn’t think about. We knew of now. We knew about the tribunal, yeah, we know about arbitration. We knew about going talking to the sheriff. We knew that there’s lots of times police will show because neighbors are not happy. It was a disaster, you know, but we embraced it. We said, look, this is what it is right, yeah, you know. And so we really went into it and finally we were able to get the tenants out.
04:53
Yeah how we got some people in gone and clear out the house because they left everything. Well, that’s your clothing, mess you, whatever.
05:02
Yeah got it all done, thrown out, clean the place up. In fact we were still pretty good because the Paralygal said put everything in the garage, just in case you know. So we told them the garage is open, you, you’re welcome to your stuff. Got the place renovated. Now, over time, we learned, you know, we got better and better Learned about the all the forms and the regulations and sticking with it, because it really does make a difference. Yeah, you know, looking back, we still have that property. That property, you know, has gone over a million dollars in value.
Speaker 1
05:42
We didn’t even think it would be be that high, right Nobody knows why don’t anyone thought 20 years ago that real estate would have exploded Exactly the way that has now?
Speaker 2
05:51
right, that’s right, that’s absolutely, and the reason why I share that is because we took a chance, we took a gamble. Real estate really wasn’t as a formalized instrument of investment as it is today. Yeah but we learned so much and we grew so much and it provided us with so much opportunities that houses literally Financed so many other development opportunities that we’ve been in. So many other projects we purchased Because we kept going and refinancing, refinancing.
Speaker 1
06:22
Now, at this point in time, what were you doing for a living? Because, if I assume, this is long before you, this is that’s right.
Speaker 2
06:29
This is this discovery. So back in those days it was all about the corporate world, getting ahead in the job, trying to pace yourself, and then the nine to five world. Because you still have that cash flow need, you still have Bills to pay, you still want to grow on. Everybody’s mindset is still well, get a great job, yeah, so. So we were both in the beverage alcohol business. Now we kind of moved the wrong till we found that business Over the years grown into the role. So I actually started off in the accounting world. In some of the biggest companies like Smirnoff, cromroy or Guinness, these sort of brands grew into Into a sales role and a marketing role. Then they created a role called commercial planning for me to help plan With the other sales team because the analytics was really important.
07:20
The one blessing you have with the corporate world and I want to make this clear with people is you learn an incredible amount of skills. So do not discount your pathway in the corporate world at some point in time. Yeah, you’re gonna get tired, you’re gonna get fed up, you’re gonna want to get out yeah, but do not discount the things you learn. Those companies spend a lot of money to train and develop you Simply because they want you performing at your peak. I was able to grow In that industry. Later on I moved into different agencies and stuff, but I got to the point of running being the director for for the wines and spirits division For the Ontario market, which, as most people would know, is the biggest market in Canada for beverage alcohol. So that gave me a lot of skill sets. But what we were seeing is Real estate was doing things for us that we could not do with the nine to five.
Speaker 1
08:15
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2
08:16
And then, as you know, I I also coach, but I did training and development with, with Jack Canfield, and then with Tony Robbins and Graziosi Brendan Boucher, and these are people that have been able to work with over the years and their various programs.
08:31
But, the reason why I started off in that journey was I also love helping people move along and I found that as a director or leader in the corporate world, the skill set was very instrumental in helping my people grow and develop and give them the opportunities to shine and to Succeed right like they were outperforming pretty much everyone else. They were strong and they were vibrant because I felt like we were doing the right things In terms of inspiring people and that stuck with me. And why did it stick with me? I I grew into those roles, but it was not my magic. It was because people believed in me.
Speaker 1
09:11
Yeah so I, I saw, I’m sure you also demonstrated a certain level of ability and stuff like that. I think those things go hand in hand and and kind of your you know, shedding light on, I think, where a lot of investors began like everyone’s kind of straddling these circumstances when they have their job and then investors as well, like it’s uncommon that you see someone that just rips off the band-aid and then just goes into it full time right away. So when you think back to that time, like what was the catalyst who encouraged you to basically make the jump over to just doing it full time and get out of the corporate world?
Speaker 2
09:43
Yeah, well, I’ll show it to you. As you mentioned that. One very interesting observation. Like the president of the company at the time, the with the prom royal brands, he literally brought me to the office. He says look, the skill set is trainable. I can teach you anything but the desire, the drive, that inside of you, that wants to get things done. That’s not trainable, that we have to find. So he recognized that lots of doors were open, but to your point, every checkpoint you have to prove yourself.
10:19
The deal was you keep succeeding, you keep moving, you can succeed, you’re out. Same thing in the real estate world. You got to make those decisions right. It’s about the deal, it’s about taking heart, it’s about pushing yourselves beyond your normal limits, pushing yourself beyond your comfort level. For me, I’ve switched over about four years now full time, and it’s really because again we had the opportunity to make a decision between the job transitioning out, whether we want to do this full time or not, and at this stage in our lives it was like, okay, we talked about it, we preach about it, we teach people about it, let’s go do it. And honestly, it’s the best decision ever, because just the sheer amount of work in dealing with architects and planners and real estate agents.
11:15
It is a full time job. Like you can’t scale unless you can dedicate the time. You’re dealing in multimillion dollar projects. Today we are into multifamily acquisitions and improvements. We’re building multifamily, we’re building waterfront cottage, we’re doing a major renovation in Hamilton converting to eight units, and there’s more projects that we’re on Like. These are quite significant, so you got to be committed at that level in order to make it work right Now. Can you explain a little bit more and just bridge?
Speaker 1
11:50
the gap, Because obviously you started with just one single family home that you’re renting and then now you’ve moved into multi-family and development and stuff like that. So for anyone out there that is new to real estate investing like how would you go from that to something as big and as elaborate as like building an apartment or waterfront cottage and stuff like that? I think the how is where people maybe get tripped up sometimes. I think so.
Speaker 2
12:17
I mean, like we said, my journey is 20 years old, because real estate it’s about get rich slow and get rich quick, and the idea is you’ve got to learn a lot of the things that you’re doing, and the way to learn it is really by connecting with people in a community like yourself, like myself, because the educational component comes from conversations. So, yeah, we started with one, then, when we moved again, we kept the other one. Then we started to look for pre-construction. We were in the lineup with like, with Matinee Holmes out in Oakville and all these other places where, back then, that was the medium by which you made purchases, right, you literally went in the yard at five am, you waited, you got a ticket and then you tried to buy something and it works out right. Sometimes it doesn’t, but that was the venues. But as we started to progress and that’s why I singled out coming into the Kispaia world as well is because they suddenly gave you the whole platform for being able to learn about real estate investing. And while we knew a tremendous amount of knowledge, the whole network was not as efficient as theirs and we found that, hey, you know what this really does work. They are giving you everything you need on a silver platter, because what we found was previous to that.
13:44
Most people kept their connections and they kept their know-how as their trade secrets and they were not willing to always part with it. They would help you do a deal, but they wouldn’t show you how to deal right. It’s a fisherman saying you know if you get a fish, you eat fish for a day, but if you learn how to fish, you fish for luck right. So that, to me, is pretty awesome. You know that’s definitely an area here. So it’s really progression Start with one, get into the next one. Now you have the ability to get into communities and to network with people at a far greater level.
14:19
So your ability to accelerate or to scale up in terms of this real estate world is quite significant now, and so the investor coming into the market today is far more educated, far more savvy, and the ability to get into it is significant. So there’s also, I think, more opportunities out there.
Speaker 1
14:38
I think you know, like you, a lot of people think well, I buy a single family home and then I become a landlord, and in Ontario, first of all, it’s going to be expensive to do that, you may not have something that can pass below appropriately, but then also you’ve got the LTB.
14:52
So I think sometimes when people get into it, they just it may not be on their radar.
14:56
Some of the other things that they could consider, like even if it’s like an Airbnb arbitrage, if you don’t have a lot of money to get started, that could be maybe a way to get started, maybe a way that you get started to get some cash flow and then you can save that to put towards whatever purchase that is. Or looking in markets that may not be in your backyard, like I know a lot of people that start in the East Coast or in the Prairies because they can buy something that is much less expensive and then it has the chance to cash flow for a while and if you’re smart with that, you can put that money towards all those other things. So there’s, I think, a lot more than I ever expected when I kind of dove into it. So when you look at now, like your portfolio and your experience. Like you know, obviously it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows, I’m sure. But when you think of your greatest success, what do you think is something that you’re most proud of?
Speaker 2
15:45
You know I want to frame that into really and truly. The first thing you got to think about is your dream, your desire and what you want. You got to really paint that picture. Yeah, now I chose real estate as our vehicle for growing or getting into a space where we could be really happy with what we’re doing every day. I think that you know, just stepping back and to frame it into your point as well, like don’t think about, okay, I want the money, money doesn’t really motivate you as a picture of what exactly you want. I want the beautiful home. I want it on an acre, five acres. I want to see pillars, I want to see beautiful rooms. I want to know the color of the houses brown, black, blue. The idea is to really. The idea here is really get alignment with your dreams. Then you can find the people and the vehicle to get you to your dreams.
16:53
I came here with a dream, with a hope that this country is gonna provide better for me and that we’re gonna be able to grow on. You know what it’s surpassed my dreams and expectations. So I think that you know, when looking back, what’s the proudest moments that I have, some of the greatest things, I think personally, for me is when I look now where I am, the fact that I can connect with people, the fact that I can help them achieve their financial freedom. You know I have in here a very big, audacious goal. That’s really scary. But when I spoke to my coach because I also have a coach, you know he reflected and says you know what the number is a number, but the goal gives you the inspiration. So I’m on a projection through my real estate business, investing business and my training and development company, I wanna help a million people get on the pathway to financial freedom. That is scary, but at the same time, if you have even 110 or 120th success, I mean, look at the amount of people you can change. But I can’t do this alone, so I’m gonna need a lot of help. But the point is it’s an inspiration to work towards and I think those are one of the things that we really have to understand Build your inspiration, build your vision and then really hold on to it, because every day you’re gonna get challenges, but if you can hold on to the vision it will become a reality, because you’re going to make it a reality and people are going to be attracted in your vision to help get there. So you know so.
18:33
Proud moments, absolutely. You know the day that we were able to grow in our careers. Those were proud moments. The fact that we bought a house, our very first home for our family, was proud. When our children came into the world proud moments all the time and reflection. You know, I have it on the wall here too. It’s about gratitude. Right, be grateful for the little things, the big things and everything in between, because when you get into that space of gratitude, you cannot be grateful and you cannot be upset and you cannot be grateful and you cannot be in a quandary of what do I do next? It just doesn’t work that way. If you sit in gratitude, things get attracted, you open up doors for yourself.
Speaker 1
19:16
So yeah, and I think really what you’re narrowing it down to, and what I’ve heard a lot of people talk about, is really just having that mindset and kind of setting the tone for everything that you want to achieve, and I think that’s why things like, you know, having a podcast, having your own platform. Obviously, as one person, you can only take on so many coaching sessions a day, but by having a platform like this, you have no idea how many more people that you can connect with and you can inspire without even realizing that you’re doing so right. So I’m sure that the way that you’re perceiving that is tenfold just based on, you know, being a part of these different platforms.
19:48
But with that being said, we’re just gonna take a really quick break. Have a word from our sponsors.

Welcome to Coast to Coast Homes Canada. We are Colin and Nicole, the passionate founders.

We invest time, energy and care in both. Our portfolio has grown from basement suites and duplexes to apartment buildings and land development, and we’re just getting started. Reach out to us to set up a time to chat. You never know where one call will lead you.
Speaker 1
21:58
Hey everybody, welcome back to Inspired to Invest. I have Mitch Parmazar here and he’s got more than 20 years experience in real estate, with the past four years being focused on full time. Now we’ve talked a lot about mindset and your successes and your goals to basically help a million people take charge of their financial futures and invest in real estate. What I would like to focus on a little bit you talked a little bit about your first experience as a landlord and the challenges with those tenants. Thinking back now to your career, what do you think are a couple of the biggest lessons that you’ve had? Knowing what you know now, how do you think you would have handled them differently?
Speaker 2
22:38
One of the biggest things is understanding who are the people in your team. Getting the right people in the right seats is critical. It’s a lesson you learn in the corporate world, but it’s also a lesson that you need to understand in the real estate world, and it’s more so in the real estate world. In the corporate world, you have an HR department. They help you, they vet people. You can change people so that you get the right people in the right seats. You need to use the same philosophy when you’re building your team. For example, like yourself, you are running a podcast, you write books. You also are a real estate agent. To me, it’s like, if you’re doing this much, you’re somebody I need to talk with. I want to understand what you’re doing and can you and I forge a relationship together? Because when you start building these relationships, they’re going to last you years and years to come.
23:35
Real estate agents, mortgage brokers or the finance part of the business is also critical. Then, when you get into the creative world, you might be building a base of investors that can come into your deals and they can share the profits of those deals with you. But you got to make sure that you’re not scrambling, that you’re finding the right people and it’s okay to say no to money sometimes, because it’s really the personality of the people. You’re going to be with these people for a long time. A minimum project is usually a year, unless it’s a quick five-month flip or something, but most projects center on one two years at the most. Then, as they get bigger, they will be with you longer. You want to have that synergy. Building the right team of people across the platform is really important and stay connected. Stay connected and show up. You got to show up. You got to have. You’re invited to a Zoom meeting. Show up. Even if you don’t feel like in the beginning you might be investing, you’ll be learning, yeah.
Speaker 1
24:36
I agree.
Speaker 2
24:37
I think it’s about the good people right.
Speaker 1
24:39
One thing that I keep on kind of hearing is that so many people are attached to just doing things themselves and they’re afraid to delegate and things like that. But I think the value of being in these networks and these masterminds is that ideally, you can learn from other people. For one, to avoid making your own mistakes, you can learn from their mistakes, but then also to help you get where you want to go faster, instead of just struggling through it on your own. I think that’s really powerful in the community. You can just throw out the question or ask for a resource or something like that. Like you said in the beginning 20 years ago, it’s kind of isolating and you’re just trying to learn all this stuff on the fly by yourself, so it doesn’t have to be that hard anymore, absolutely.
Speaker 2
25:16
It doesn’t have to be Like I said. We do the podcast because we really want to give back to people. I want to share people’s stories. I’m inspired every day by people. I am blessed to be a coach because I get to share people’s stories, I get to understand where they’re coming from.
25:32
I’ll share with you as well, like we did a workshop back in January business planning and development workshop and the feedback coming out of that was just transformational. People was telling me Mitch, you know, you changed my lives. I got I didn’t get comments, I got essays in the evenings of how impactful it was that they were able to get somebody to guide them along the lines of building a business plan. Because they realized that when you come into this world and we talk about real estate investments, you’re really building a business in real estate. And when you start to think along that lines, you change the game and now you’re an entrepreneur, now you’re a business person, now you’re driving in the real estate space. Because you could use that same philosophy. You can become in consumer package goods, you could go into social media planning, you could go into any industry you wish, but the philosophy of planning a business is important.
Speaker 1
26:31
Yeah, no.
Speaker 2
26:31
I understand that. I mean I was work.
Speaker 1
26:33
I had my own business for 18 years and I didn’t get coaching until eight years in. So literally you’re winging at that entire time. Like develop invoices from scratch protocol, like doing accounting that I wasn’t and no business doing, but again you don’t. You don’t know what you don’t know right. So I think it’s a matter of having those connections.
26:51
Again, people can kind of help you along the way. But I guess, moving along to a couple of other questions that I have, so, in terms of obstacles, what do you think that? What do you think has been the biggest obstacle that you faced over the last 20 years?
Speaker 2
27:05
The biggest obstacles might be myself. You know it’s it’s. It is funny. I’ve done things that I am so proud of and I realized that, looking back, it’s probably things I never thought I would do. But yet I feel like sometimes I hold myself back as well, because I think there’s even more to give, there’s more to do, more to accomplish but, I got to get the mindset that this is doable.
27:32
Yeah, so you know part of my journey. Like I say, we’re doing amazing things now, but now we want to scale this business to a significant level. It might mean getting into a mutual fund trust. It might mean doing more general partner, limited partner structures. Yeah, these are more complicated structures. It means I need to find a whole level of people now that can get me to those points. But at the same time I need to embrace it and I do like.
27:57
When I look back, I am always uncomfortable and I think that’s a good thing, because in the corporate world I was comfortable. In the accounting world I was my background. But then those who are going to make me uncomfortable going into a sales role in the industry, you come outside, you get the car, you get the computer, you’re feeling great. You walk into a liquor control board store and they don’t give a whatever about who you are. It’s very humbling. You’ve got to really earn people’s respect and doing that can be frustrating at times because they’re doing their day job. They really have to know that for you. You’ve got to bring value to them and you learn that quickly. And then, as soon as you get comfortable with that, it’s like, okay, go and learn in the bars and restaurants. Now Same process again. It’s like, okay, I keep pushing myself. Same thing with real estate.
28:53
We did the single family home, we got comfortable with that. But then we realized, hey, what about condo pre-construction? What about actually building something? What about multifamily? Like the bank has literally said you have enough, we’re not giving you any more money. It doesn’t mean we stop, it means we learn new things. So now it’s multifamily. And so being uncomfortable means you’re always learning, you’re always challenging yourself, you’re mentally alert all the time, and that’s the beauty in it. And then when you really find a passion like we love this business because I work longer hours now than I ever did before, but it doesn’t feel that way, and when I talk to people I get inspired by them. So it’s very different for me, but it’s also very invigorating. So stepping out all the time, I think is one of the key factors to what success. Step out, embrace the challenge, learn quickly and implement.
Speaker 1
29:52
Yeah Now, I guess, in terms of you’ve taken on these bigger and bigger projects, so what’s next for you?
Speaker 2
30:00
What’s next for me? You know what? Like I said, I have a big audacious goals. I really want to be able to help a million people get on the financial freedom journey and I’m going to need help from a lot of people to make that a reality. So I’d like to get that going. In terms of the real estate investments, that’s part of our approach towards helping people, so not the only. Are we willing to help learn or train people for what we know. We’re also giving them opportunities to actually get going in real estate.

Whether it’s investing as a private investor, coming in as a partnership into the deal or working together and reviewing things like that, I really feel that the synergy is connect all of everything that we have together so that we can grow and scale the business into a more significant multifamily space. Do some building and land development sort of structure Really get into the creative side of the real estate now, Because really and truly we want to grow. We love the fact that we can grow. The passive approach of taking the time is like, okay, if I do that, what do I do with my time? I love the challenges, I love connecting with people and talking with people all the time To me.
31:15
That gives me my energy. That’s my wife for getting up every day. It’s like helping people, showing my family what things can do and inspiring our kids every day to do more and more as well, Because they’re also on their own journey, but they’ve embraced so much of the philosophies yet they’re finding their own pathways and that’s key. It’s like the inspiration has to be what fires you up. If it’s real estate, come on board with us. If it’s not, keep the fire going because the synergies are still there, yeah, yeah, I love myself.

I really and truly believe in the gratitude of where we are and we kind of build that into the pineapple philosophy as well where it’s tough on the outside, sweet on the inside and weighing your crown of gratitude proudly. I think that’s a reality. It’s like you know what Enjoy life, be sweet. There are days when you gotta be tough because the city is not always going to cooperate with you.
