Real Estate vs Stocks? Erwin Szeto’s Diversification Framework | Ep 84

What happens when the “old” Ontario investor playbook stops working?

In Episode 84, Alonso sits down with Erwin Szeto - long-time Ontario investor + Realtor (since 2010) who’s had equity in 40+ properties - to talk about why the classic BRRRR-heavy strategy that worked in places like Hamilton and Niagara is getting crushed today… and what smart investors are doing next.

Erwin shares the behind-the-scenes reality of being a landlord in Ontario right now, why he’s been selling down his Ontario portfolio, and what changed his perspective after discovering how institutional-scale systems work in U.S. single-family rentals.

Then the conversation goes deeper: wealth planning (estate + financial planning for real estate investors), the reality of the coming wealth transfer, and why liquidity + diversification matter more than ever - including how Edwin thinks about stocks alongside real estate.

If you’re an investor who feels stuck, tired of tenant headaches, or wondering where to put capital next, this episode is a must-watch.
