This was an important podcast to me. My hat goes off to Debbie Gilbert for taking on this type of investing but more importantly truly trying to help seniors in her community one property at a time.

Debbie is the owner of Rosehill Heights, shared housing for senior women. One of the things that really hit me was that there are so many seniors living alone.  This can create social isolation for them, which leads to physical and mental health issues.  In fact, some studies have shown that social isolation can have a more negative effect on longevity than smoking 15 cigarettes a day!

What Debbie is doing is incredibly important to her community and I truly respect the work she’s doing to help.

Have a listen, she's looking for investors to help her important cause.

What you’ll learn on this call;

1. How using your car as a moving library can change your life.
2. Why getting your hands dirty in the beginning can be a game changer?
3. What is shared housing for senior living and is it a good investment opportunity?
4. Why this type of investing strategy can save hundreds, maybe thousands of lives.
5. Do you need a transition team and the important role they play?
6. Is this a difficult investing strategy to implement and how do you get started?
7. In 2030 25% of our population in Canada will be over the age of 65.
8. What type of zoning is required for this type of investing?
9. What is the golden Girls Bill and its importance to this type of investing strategy?
10. Why shared housing is going to be a growing trend moving forward.

Bio:

Debbie Gilbert was born and raised in Barrie.  Her career has been varied including running her own business, owning and operating a franchise, Executive Director of a local charity and working senior administrative positions in education and family mental health.  She believes all her work and life experience have developed skills that have brought her to her current career as a Real Estate Entrepreneur.

In 2015 she was downsized and outsources out of her J-O-B, and decided to get some formal education in real estate investing. She wasted no time in starting to build wealth through real estate. She remains a full-time investor who self-manages the properties in her portfolio which consists of several duplexes and student rentals in Barrie and Orillia. Debbie has done some coaching, some speaking, some writing and is a familiar face at many of the real estate investment groups in this area.

 “Do what is easy your life will be hard. Do what is hard your life will be easy” – Les Brown.

Bio

Motivational speaker Les Brown was born Leslie Calvin Brown on February 17, 1945, in Miami, Florida. After giving birth to Brown and his twin brother, Wes, on the floor of an abandoned building, Brown’s biological mother gave her sons up for adoption when they were six weeks old to Mrs. Mamie Brown. When he was in fifth grade, Brown was forced back a grade by the school’s principal after being disruptive in class. Brown’s demotion subsequently led him to being placed in special education classes and labeled as mentally retarded. As an adolescent, Brown attended Booker T. Washington High School where he was influenced by a speech and drama instructor who encouraged him to pursue a career in radio broadcasting.

After graduating from high school and briefly working for the Department of Sanitation, Brown worked as an errand boy for a Miami Beach radio station. At the station, Brown observed the disc jockeys with hopes of one day becoming an on-air personality. His break came when one of the disc jockeys became inebriated. Brown stood in for him and then was hired as a disc jockey. In the late 1960s, Brown moved to Columbus, Ohio, to work for WVKO Radio, where he became active in the community. Brown’s political activism in Columbus won him a seat with the 29th House District of the Ohio State Legislature. In his first year, Brown passed more legislature than any other freshman representative in Ohio State legislative history. In his third term, Brown served as chair of the Human Resources Committee.

In 1981, Brown left the Ohio State House of Representatives to care for his ailing mother back in Florida. While in Miami, he continued to focus on social issues by developing a youth center training program. In 1986, Brown entered the public speaking arena on a full-time basis and formed Les Brown Enterprises, Inc. In 1989, Brown received the National Speakers Association’s highest award, the Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE). In 1990, Brown recorded the Emmy Award-winning series of speeches entitled You Deserve, which became the lead fundraising program of its kind for pledges to PBS stations nationwide. In 1991, Toastmasters International selected Brown as one of the world’s best speakers and awarded him the Golden Gavel Award.

Brown ranks amongst the nation’s leading authorities in understanding and stimulating human potential; he is a featured guest on many radio broadcasting stations and is often hired by professional corporations to teach and inspire new levels of achievement.

1. How do you make the best of everyday to change your life?
2. The early ages of Les Brown and the major turning point in his life.
3. The 3 major lessons Les Brown learned in the 11th grade from his Drama teacher.
4. How to get the most out of listening to Podcasts and seminars to better your life.
5. The scariest moment Les Brown had on stage and what he did to overcame his fear.
6. Why do some people become successful while others don’t?
7. The importance of a vision board and remaining focused on your dreams.
8. The difference between failing and seeing yourself as a failure.

Key Takeaways:

“I would say that my unfair advantage would be I love to jumping in and taking action. And I would say that I’m also very comfortable with making mistakes.  And I think people that make mistakes, they think that it’s a problem or they’re there. They’re done in the right path, and then they give up. But the key is when you make those mistakes as obviously to learn from it, and then they continue to keep moving forward.” – Gary Hibbert

There are so many different ways to do it, but it’s about writing down your goals, and once you do it, you move forward with that.  So, mindset is such a huge thing, and learning from other people that have gone through that journey.” – Gary Hibbert

Beginning her career as a ReMax Real Estate Agent and working her way to being recognized within the top 1% of Realtors in both the Durham Region and on the Toronto Real Estate Board, many would agree that this level of success is the pinnacle achievement amongst their peers; but for Kathleen it was only the beginning.

Kathleen quickly realized that her success was attributed to programs that she had developed internally over years of perfecting her craft as an Agent. Recognizing the demand for such programs, Kathleen set out to work on further developing each system and building out a robust platform of educational programs and coaching methods designed to provide Real Estate Agents with the tools and techniques needed to progress forward both personally and professionally. In 2015, Kathleen Black Coaching & Consulting (KBCC) was formed.

With the launch of KBCC and building upon her 10+ years of Team and Agent development and guidance, hundreds of teams have attributed their growth and success to Kathleen’s leadership either directly or through one of her coaching programs. Her credibility and understanding of the Real Estate market has guided countless teams to be Top 1% Producers.

The success of KBCC centers around integrity, honesty, and results-driven measures, the very things that represent Kathleen. Her “practice what you preach” mantra has served both herself and her clients well with over 80% of them at the top 1% of production across the country.

If being a CEO, development coach, professional speaker, and educator weren’t enough, Kathleen is also a dedicated mother and has been named one of the Top 100 Elite Women Driving the Future of Real Estate by REP Magazine, and in 2018 as one of the Top 20 Emerging Leaders by T3 Sixty.

Kathleen is also the driving-force behind the Ultimate Team Summit, the largest team specific Real Estate summit in North America and the premier event destination for top producing teams and professionals.
