Where To Learn Real Estate Investing And The Art Of Raising Capital (The Right Way!)

All Real Estate Investing Education Programs Are NOT Created Equal

If you’re wondering where to really learn real estate investing in Canada—beyond the free YouTube fluff, expensive weekend seminars, and outdated textbooks—you’re not alone.

A lot of people get the itch to invest, but they don’t know where to start.

Or worse, they start with the wrong education, burn money on bad deals, and walk away thinking real estate “doesn’t work.”

The truth is—it works.

But only when you do it right.

And doing it right starts with the right mentorship and network.

Enter: M1 Real Capital with Marcin Drozdz.


The Problem with Most Real Estate Education

Let’s be honest. The real estate education space is flooded—with generic content, recycled courses, and hype-heavy seminars that promise riches but deliver very little actionable substance.

You sit in a hotel ballroom for three days, get pumped full of motivational jargon and… leave with a binder. Maybe a fancy pen. But no real framework, no network, and no way forward. That’s not investing. That’s marketing.

If you’re serious about building wealth through real estate—whether that means scaling a portfolio, raising capital, or structuring deals that actually cash flow—you need to be surrounded by people doing the real work.

That’s why I’m so excited to be joining Marcin Drozdz and the team at M1.


Why M1 is Different: Built by Investors, For Investors

Marcin isn’t your average coach.

He’s a private equity pro with over $200M in real estate transactions under his belt.

He’s built funds.

Closed deals.

Raised capital.

Repeatedly.

In fact, he’s raised well into the 9 figures.

And most importantly, he’s done it the RIGHT way.

This isn’t theory.

It’s hands-on, battle-tested investing experience—now available through M1’s training, mentorship, and community.

Here’s what makes M1 Real Capital different:

Real Training for Real Investors – Whether you’re learning to raise capital or structure joint ventures, the education is tactical and based on real-world experience—not textbook hypotheticals.

A Network of Serious Players – Inside M1, you’re not surrounded by wannabe investors. You’re plugged into a national network of capital raisers, real estate developers, and investors scaling actual portfolios.

Access to Mentors Who Walk the Walk – Marcin and his team don’t just teach—they actively invest. That means you’re learning directly from people who are in the trenches, navigating today’s interest rates, underwriting in this market, and sourcing deals right now.

Capital Raising Mastery – One of M1’s biggest superpowers is helping investors raise private capital with confidence, compliance, and clarity. If you want to learn how to attract partners and build trust with investors, this is the place to learn it.

Canadian Context – Most real estate investing programs are U.S.-centric. M1 understands the nuances of the Canadian market—everything from regulatory compliance to how to underwrite deals in Toronto, Calgary, or smaller tertiary markets.


What You’ll Learn Inside M1

Think of M1 as an elite training ground for modern real estate investors. Here’s a glimpse of what’s covered:

  • ✅ How to structure win-win joint ventures
  • ✅ How to raise capital ethically and legally
  • ✅ Deal sourcing strategies in competitive markets
  • ✅ Mindset and leadership development (because your success starts in your head)
  • ✅ Portfolio management and investor relations
  • ✅ How to build a scalable real estate business (not just collect a few doors)

My Role at M1: Helping You Succeed

As a Client Success Manager, I’ll be your point of contact and your biggest supporter on this journey.

I’ll help you get the most out of your M1 experience—whether that means recommending the right training, introducing you to the right people, or helping you find clarity on your next deal.

I’ve spent years helping real estate professionals grow—through strategy, content, and community—and now, I get to do that at scale with a company that truly aligns with my values of integrity, transparency, and results.

This isn’t just a job.

It’s a mission.


Who is M1 For?

M1 is for you if:

  • You’re tired of dabbling and ready to build something
  • You want mentorship from people who actually do this full-time
  • You’ve hit a ceiling in your investing journey and want to scale smarter
  • You’re tired of going it alone and want to be part of a tribe of serious, driven, like-minded investors

It’s not for you if you’re looking for a get-rich-quick fix, or if you’re not willing to invest the time and energy into learning and executing.


Ready to Get Serious?

If you’re reading this, there’s a reason. You’re looking for something more. Maybe you’ve done a deal or two and know you could be doing more—but you need the right structure and mentorship. Or maybe you’re just getting started, but you’re smart enough to know that going it alone is the slowest (and most painful) way to succeed.
