Developer & Canadian Real Estate Investor - Shane Melanson helps professionals and business owners invest in Canadian real estate - with a focus on cash flowing commercial real estate.
Specifically for professionals and business owners earning a high income and too busy to find good, safe commercial real estate properties. To get off the treadmill of trading time for money and owning tangible, hard assets (Cash Flowing Real Estate) that pays monthly.
For the past 14 years, I've helped Canadian real estate investors buy and sell more than a quarter billion of real estate. In some cases, clients have been able to replace a 6-figure income in one commercial property * (not an income claim, requires hard work, dedication and capital).
There are three primary ways I can help you invest in real estate. Which would you like help with?

The world of investing in commercial real estate is different than residential investing.
Commercial real estate is largely a relationship game which can take years to develop and nurture. For the most part, the best commercial properties are not found on the MLS.
Top Commercial Brokers have a database of proven buyers they take deals to direct.
Why?
There are several reasons. First, commercial real estate is a more complex transition and brokers and sellers want seasoned buyers (deal certainty). Next, a 7 or 8 figure property has the potential for a large commission. If the broker knows who the buyers are, they would prefer to earn a full fee, than share it (human nature).

About Shane
I started like many Canadian real estate investors- buying and fixing up single family properties, finding tenants to generate a few hundred/month. When the Calgary market was appreciating 5%/year - my portfolio looked good.
In 2004, I was working a fulltime job and managing multiple properties. I didn't have a family. So working long hours and weekends didn't bother me. Fast forward, today, married with 3 kids- I want more time to be with my family.
The goal of investing in real estate was to give me freedom- not create a 2nd job.
In 2008, I partnered with my father-in-law, a 40 year veteran developer and commercial real estate investor. He taught me how to raise capital and invest in 7 and 8 figure commercial and multifamily properties.
- How to secure capital (both debt and equity).
- Who you need on your team to help you.
- How to find the right deals
- How to structure and negotiate with investors
Initially, many of our Canadian real estate investors were REIT's, Pension Funds and Wealthy Families. Once in a while a physician, engineer or business owner would ask me to help them buy a apartment, retail or warehouse building. It was in helping individuals making the leap from single family to commercial where I saw the biggest need for extra guidance and support.
In my experience, the one thing that keeps many real estate investors stuck in residential real estate is...
not understanding the "Game of Commercial Real Estate".
Even real estate investors with $500k, $1M or $5M- make huge mistakes entering the game of commercial real estate. The Game, as I call it, is about knowing what to look for in a deal. Seeing the right deals first. Access to capital. A solid reputation as a closer.
Unfortunately, many new commercial investors are either too busy to learn the Game, or, try and do it alone.
I started coaching and helping people with a sincere interest in investing in this alternative asset class, invest like the Pros.
In addition to my own real estate projects, I help Canadian real estate investors learn the Game and gain access to proprietary deal flow.
