Bond Investment Professionals to Know 2025

In 2018, I started investing in real estate with $40K and a lot of conviction. By 25, I owned over 20 rental properties. By 30, I’d navigated fix-and-flips, multi-family properties, short-term rentals, student housing, assignment sales, and BRRRR — through both strong markets and challenging ones. In 2022, I left corporate finance to go all-in on mortgage strategy and real estate investing full-time. Today, I’m a licensed Mortgage Agent with Vine Group, where I’ve built my practice around one core belief: your mortgage should be building your wealth — not just getting you into a home. I’m Smith Manoeuvre Certified and work with clients across Canada on advanced strategies like the Smith Manoeuvre, cash damming, and debt restructuring — helping high-income earners convert non-deductible mortgage interest into tax-deductible investment debt. I also founded RISE Network in 2019, which has grown into one of Ontario’s largest free real estate communities with over 7,300 members — no sales pitches, no gatekeeping, just people helping each other build. Along the way, I’ve been featured in Toronto Life, Yahoo, and Canvas, and host a real estate podcast with over 300,000 downloads, where I break down strategies, market insights, and real-world investing experiences.

I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

At present, I do stock market analysis, including fundamental & technical analysis for investing decisions, and self-investment portfolio management. 🔴 My YouTube Channel 🔴 https://www.youtube.com/@thinkandretire On this channel, I share everything I’ve learned about smart investing, income generation, and long-term wealth building.

Founder of YieldMaxCalc.com, a dividend ETF analytics platform focused on covered-call income funds (YieldMax, Roundhill, JEPQ, JEPI, SCHD).

Senior mentee at the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management (ITPM): completed the Professional Trading Masterclass (PTM) and Professional Options Trading Masterclass 2.0 (POTM), plus the ITPM in-person Trader Mentoring Programme in Thailand. Over four years actively managing a personal options portfolio, which gives me practical exposure to the option-writing mechanics underlying covered-call ETF yields — the same dynamics that explain why YieldMax and JEPQ pay what they pay. My methodology emphasizes forward-annualized yield over trailing-12-month figures (more accurate for funds with declining or scaling payouts), distinguishes return-of-capital distributions from genuine income (a critical tax distinction for YieldMax-style funds), and computes total return net of NAV erosion (the only honest way to evaluate covered-call income funds). DRIP math is validated against industry-reference data with 92 passing test cases. Also operate Optionerd.com (options strategy analytics) and WhyTheMove.com (market intelligence and equity volatility analysis).
