Hey! My name is Josie and I run a small real estate investing business, Yacksmith Properties, with my husband Mau in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We buy, renovate, and rent out properties (long term rentals and short term Airbnbs!). Follow along to see how we do it and learn from all our mistakes ๐. We also just started another company called Piece of the Pie to teach others how to get into real estate investing and entrepreneurship (in their own way, in their own time... no annoying hustle-y pushy stuff).

Next Book Club Details!
Hey!
A few of us had a good chat at our book club earlier this month about the book 'Long-Distance Real Estate Investing' by David Greene. This is quite a dense book packed with info, so there was lots to talk about. I learned a lot from this book, and it gave me some great ideas about how to improve my business. I will definitely be going back to this over and over while growing my real estate portfolio.
In honour of Women's History Month this March, we are reading 'The Only Woman in the Room' compiled by Ashley L. Wilson. We realized that we hadn't read any books by women since starting the book club (which is terrible) so we're going to start by reading this one! There's an audiobook too if that's more your style.
This book looks very interesting - it's a compilation of pieces written by various women real estate investors. In an industry historically dominated by men, it's time we had more women 'in the room'. ๐
Join us at 8pm EST on Wednesday, April 5th, 2023 for our third book club of the year! We'll be discussing the book, real estate investing, life, and business. Grab a drink and join us! (even if you don't finish the book in time - most of us usually don't ๐)
Happy Women's History Month to all you amazing women. Do something nice for yourself this month and remember that self-care is productive.
I hope to see you on April 5th! โค๏ธ

Hey! ๐๐ผ Many of you told me you were interested in getting your hands on the template I made to stay organized while furnishing my Airbnbs, so here it is! Please let me introduce you to our super duper time-saving STR & MTR Setup Spreadsheet. ๐๐ Just in case you're not familiar with the acronyms STR and MTR, STR is short term rental and MTR is medium term rental. Definitions change depending on your area, but usually MTRs mean that people are staying at a furnished rental for over 28 or 30...
Hello! Unfortunately the date I chose for the next book club (April 5th - 'The Only Woman in the Room') conflicts with another REI event in Ottawa, and rescheduling it is proving to be difficult because it seems lots is going on around that time. We will have to postpone this book club until further notice. I will email you when I have a new date. And if you have any suggestions for dates/times that work best for you please let me know! I'd love to make it work for as many people as possible....
