Her career quickly transcended into recreational real estate and log home building after moving to the world-renowned ski town of Whistler, British Columbia. Later Tamara helped the company branch out into other markets, leading the way in a major rebrand and re-structuring of Hirsh Log Homes.

Eight years ago after a chance encounter with a seemingly harmless common reef fish, Tamara contracted a neurotoxin disorder. Like many other Canadians using conventional opioid pharmaceuticals to manage chronic pain, Tamara was introduced to cannabis which became the catalyst for radical career evolution. It didn’t take long for her to recognize its profound medicinal value and to evolve her design / build skills into developing award-winning medical clinics and a chain of successful boutique retail stores. Today, Tamara has settled on the shores of the Gold Coast of Guanacaste and is proud to call Costa Rica home. Her current real estate projects involve a multi-unit commercial development and the renovation of a restaurant/lounge and an upscale boutique hotel.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with Dan Hogenbirk Insider secrets for finding opportunities other investors missed. Increasing the density from a single-family home to fourplex, sixplex and small apartment buildings. Creating cash flow in areas where you normally can’t find cash flow. Challenges that come with small development and how to overcome them. About our Guest Daniel started working in construction at an early age. Working in landscaping young, taught him to work hard and persevere through difficult challenges. The year after completing his undergraduate degree, the sale of his parent's company fell through, and he was presented with the opportunity to purchase the company with his brother-in-law. Daniel and his brother-in-law were presented with some immediate challenges with the business. Several divisions were identified as operating at a loss, and increasing industry pressure in snow plowing/removal made this an increasingly challenging endeavour. Looking for potential solutions, Daniel discovered the potential in interior construction and real estate investing. In 2018, they invested in several duplex conversions to start training their team in the process of interior renovations. By 2022, they grew their real estate company enough to divest the poorly performing divisions and permanently get out of the snow industry. In 2024, Daniel is a licensed builder focusing on building his business around the new opportunities presented by policy changes encouraging intensification in existing neighbourhoods. Daniel’s Business, North Lakes Developments & Construction builds properties for themselves, Joint Venture partners, and clients. Daniel continues to live in one of the apartments he constructed to this day, allowing him to keep his costs down to re-invest into the company and to achieve financial freedom at an early age.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with David & Anuja Pereira How to get over the initial hurdles of investing in real estate. Why the “safe” path isn’t always the way to go. How to prioritize your relationship while growing a real estate business. How to educate yourself, your partners and your tenants to create a lasting business. Anuja and David Pereira bought their first triplex in 2013. It was a money pit. But a profitable money pit and they caught the bug of real estate investing. They’ve grown their personal portfolio to include other self-managed properties including single-family homes, condos and a Rent-to-Own investment. The COVID lockdown provided an opportunity to reassess their priorities and they pivoted to working together to help others through real estate. Anuja became a full-time real estate agent with a focus on helping investors, teachers and downsizing seniors. She co-hosts Beyond the Bell: Lifestyle Design for Canadian Teachers, a podcast educating teachers on lifestyle freedom today and after the bell. David launched a Rent To Own business (www.RentToGrowHomes.com) with a focus on Eastern Ontario. He helps responsible renters with good incomes earn home ownership. His business model offers a targeted 20% annualized return to his passive investors. They share an office in their Mississauga home and have learned to avoid annoying each other (most of the time).
