Description

In this episode of the WealthGenius Podcast, host Alfonso Cuadra sits down with Santhosh and Anthony to discuss the Calgary real estate market, their journeys as investors, and the opportunities emerging across Alberta. With investors continuing to move from Ontario and British Columbia to Alberta, the province is attracting attention for its business-friendly environment, economic growth, and potential for real estate returns. Santhosh and Anthony share their perspectives on Calgary’s changing market, the impact of population growth, and how new construction and rising inventory could create opportunities for investors willing to look beyond the headlines. The conversation also explores how they got started in real estate. Anthony shares how he worked overnight while attending university to save money for his first property, using house hacking and value-add renovations to build equity before refinancing and expanding into multifamily investing. Santhosh discusses his own path into real estate after initially investing on the side while working in IT. Alfonso and his guests break down the differences between Calgary’s established and emerging neighbourhoods, why smaller Alberta markets can offer attractive rental opportunities, and how periods of oversupply may create opportunities for investors to negotiate better deals. They also explore Alberta’s potential economic future, including energy infrastructure, data centres, and other emerging industries that could influence the province’s growth.
