Sarah Larbi specializes in helping take the mystery out of home ownership for Canadian’s who thought real estate investing was going to be out of reach. She has earned their trust and respect by having the drive and focus to embark, build and grow a seven-figure, 9 property investment portfolio by her early 30’s.

In the podcast Sarah interviews fellow real estate investors about their strategies and geographical focus, providing valuable insights to her audience with actionable tactics for their own real estate goals.

Sarah has spoken on investing at several professional networking groups and as co-founder, she also hosts regular investor learning sessions, for experienced and newer investors, through the successful REITE Club.
