VICTORIA – Victoria real estate businesses, the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) and 80 exhibitors will be educating homeowners and investors at a unique local event. A first for Victoria, the Investment Expo is anticipated to bring 1500 firsttime home buyers and seasoned investors together to learn and share the most current insights on real estate.
Information related specifically to Victoria’s hot real estate market, and opportunities well beyond the island will be presented and discussed in a fun, social, approachable format. With no shortage of investment capital, stable, longterm economic growth predicted and ever increasing migration from Vancouver and beyond, it seems high time for this event.
The Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS) is the Investment Expo’s charitable partner. Founded in 1956, the GVHS provides affordable housing for low to moderateincome seniors, families, and adults with disabilities. Fifty percent of Investment Expo’s ticket sales will be donated to the housing society.
The Expo is a production of the Women’s Real Estate Network (WREN) and Legacy Wealth Income Properties. The founders of these two organizations saw the amount of opportunity in Victoria but noticed there was a lot of fear, misinformation and general sluggishness in the way people were connecting around real estate investment. This despite the fact that collectively people in the City of Victoria are sitting on millions in home equity, yet investing less than other Canadians.
“We are concerned about the number of young people who fear they’ll never get into the market and the number of seniors who feel they don’t have enough for their retirement” says Legacy Wealth founder Laurie Finnigan. “Our organizations show people that the right knowledge along with thoughtful planning and a strong support team can change your entire financial future for the better.”
WREN and Legacy Wealth bring people together for local events where attendees share inspiring stories of how real estate investing has improved their financial pictures and helped their families and communities. The Investment Expo is an impactful way to satisfy the craving for creative ways to enter the market around the city and beyond.
