While there's no guarantee that properties will increase in value, historically they have over time -- especially in high growth areas of the nation. But if you want faster appreciation, you have to create it. Real estate investors "force" appreciation by increasing the value of a property through updates, renovations, or development. In this episode, my guest Victor Menasce, shares how he forces appreciation on his properties. And he says it all starts with the right mindset. Victor is a senior partner at Y Street Capital, the President of the Ottawa Real Estate investing Organization, and the host of The Real Estate Espresso Podcast. He's also the author of "Magnetic Capital." You'll also find a wealth of information about growing your real estate business with our new audiobook: "Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business." You'll find it on Amazon.
