Speaker Showcase:

Glen Sutherland is a real estate investor based in Wellesley, ON, where he lives with his wife and two wonderful children. His investment journey began with purchasing local ‘buy and hold’ rental properties. Through extensive research, he discovered that investing in the US offered more favorable laws, lower property taxes, and reduced entry costs, which made wealth creation more accessible.

Currently, Glen focuses on expanding his rental real estate portfolio in the US, acquiring both single-family homes and large apartment buildings. He also hosts the podcast and YouTube channel, “A Canadian Investing in the US,” where he shares insights and advice for Canadian investors interested in the American market. Glen finds great satisfaction in sharing his expertise with others.

With years of experience in the US real estate market, Glen has navigated numerous challenges and believes that learning is a continuous process. He started with ‘Buy and Hold’ investments and has since gained hands-on experience in creative acquisitions, sales, extensive renovations, and various strategies for generating passive income. Glen continues to explore promising markets and innovative approaches to enhance his real estate ventures while helping others achieve financial growth in the diverse US market.
