Hello, and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I'm your host, Marco Santarelli and I am happy to have you here. Well, you know, the government has made some changes recently and they have removed some restrictions on investment property. And I have a guest today who I've had on about a year ago, last December,  Caeli Ridge. And she's going to talk about what this is and what it means to us as real estate investors. It is a positive move forward, and it is an attempt to address the housing supply shortage that we have in our country. Right now, more specifically, what they're trying to address is the limited affordable housing, and I'll say affordable in air quotes, but the affordable housing problem or supply problem that we have going on. And hopefully this relaxing of these restrictions will help that and be a sustainable solution.

I don't think that's the entire answer to the problem. We just have a lot of demand. Lack of supply inflation is high. It's going to continue for a while. Inflation is a problem, and it's something you should really wrap your head around and understand. So with the lack of supply, strong demand, monetary inflation, price, inflation, all these dynamics going on and property values going up along with supply shocks that have been going on for over a year now in part due to the whole COVID situation, you know, we're not out of the woods, we're going to see this problem go on for at least the next three or four years. According to research that I'm reviewing, but potentially is as long as 2030, you know, for the next nine years or so, it's something that we need to be aware of. Now, if you're on the right side of the equation, if you are a real estate investor or you are starting to invest in real estate, guess what?

You have a tailwind, you don't have headwind, you've got the cards stacked in your favor, and this is a great place to be. So think about that, you know, in real estate investing and real estate investments specifically, residential are arguably the best investment class, the best asset class to be in. And so with that in mind, let's kind of unpack this whole government removing the restrictions on investment property and what it means to you as a real estate investor and what it means to go forward over the next year or so. So I'll ask Caeli various questions about what that means trends that she sees going on and various loan products that are on the horizon for us as real estate investors. So let's dive right in and get going.

Mr. Santarelli, it is my pleasure, sir. Thank you so much for having me.

Well, it's great to have you back on you are a wealth of knowledge and you do a lot of our clients, mortgage loans for them, which is great because it makes them happy and it makes it for a smooth transaction. And really, you know, I think most investors dislike the financing part of the purchase process the most. So anytime you can make that easier for them, I think they're very, very happy. So thank you.

And I've never heard that before. In fact, it's usually I hire people say, let's just do the financing, you know, at nauseum, they love it so much.
