Summary
Rasna Arora built a $50 million real estate portfolio across 70 properties using private money, refinancing, and aggressive scaling. Then the market shifted — and everything unraveled. In this raw and honest conversation, we unpack the realities of leverage, hard money loans, refinancing risk, and what happens when trusted advisors collapse. This episode goes beyond strategy and numbers — it dives into integrity, mental health, and the true cost of scaling too fast. There’s no Lamborghini story here. Just the real truth about real estate investing in Canada — the wins, the warnings, and the lessons every investor needs to hear.
