$2 Billion in Apartments: Inside Canada’s Private Equity Playbook | Ep 91

Описание: 🎙In this episode of the Wealth Genius Podcast, Alfonso sits down with Ray Punn — a capital markets expert in private equity who helped scale a Canadian real estate platform to $2 billion in assets under management.
Ray breaks down what’s really happening in Canadian real estate right now — from the rise of multi-residential investing to the condo oversupply situation and why private REITs are attracting serious capital.

We cover:
• Why Canada is becoming a renter nation
• Why smart money is shifting from condos to multi-res
• The difference between public vs private REITs
• How institutional investors evaluate deals
• The power of active management (25+ value-creation levers)
• Tax-efficient investment structures most investors don’t understand
• Why diversification still matters — even in private equity
• Ray’s personal mantra: “Go All In”

If you’re a real estate investor, capital allocator, or someone looking to understand where the next wave of opportunity is — this episode is packed with insight.
