Agenda for the Evening:

* Introductions and Durham Updates

* Keynote Speaker – Spencer Giles & Ashley Antidormi – Short Term Rentals in 2025: Pros, Cons & Points Strategies – We’re going to focus on the changes to STR in the last year, current pros and cons, going to do a few personal case studies and open up our books to show how our homes have continued to be profitable and why, and then finish off with current points strategies. 

* Keynote Speaker – Quentin D’Souza – Income-Based Strategy For Real Estate Investors –  One of the challenges that real estate investors have is that “you can’t eat equity”.  Over the last two years, I have been using my equity to generate double-digit returns outside of my real estate investments.  You are going to be introduced to an income-generating flywheel to create a new stream of income, and what I have learned over the last two years of implementation.

* Wrap-up and Burning Questions

* Networking and Developing Your Power Team

Speaker Showcase:

Spencer and Ashley are Niagara- based real estate investors with a shared love of travel, fitness, and dogs. They started investing in 2018 and have since expanded their portfolio to 13 units with a mix of short- term and long-term rentals. Spencer and Ashley co-founded Travelluxe Inc. in 2019, a short-term rental management company, which currently manages over 45 units across Canada. They were able to leave their corporate jobs in 2021 and 2022 to focus all their efforts on their businesses. Their love for travel has brought them all around the world in premium cabins using points and miles, where they are able to mix work and pleasure by creating systems that allow them to be location independent. When not travelling, you can find Spencer and Ashley at home with their two fur-babies, Tucker and Stella.

Quentin D’Souza is a multiple award winning Real Estate Investor, and a trusted authority on real estate investing.  He is an Ontario Certified Teacher and holds two university degrees, which includes a Master’s in Education.  Quentin has appeared on local and national television and radio, interviewed in national publications, and has been a keynote speaker to large audiences or real estate investors.
