🎥 Event Recording

with Nolan Sisett

This was an absolutely phenomenal evening at the Okanagan Real Estate Investment Group.

The room was packed with serious investors and industry pros, thoughtful questions, and real conversations about what it actually takes to build — and rebuild — a portfolio through multiple market cycles. Attendees walked away with practical strategy, hard-earned lessons, and clarity around long-term wealth building.

This recording captures the full experience.

What You’ll Learn Inside This Recording

1️⃣ The Real Foundations of an Investor

Nolan shares how early exposure to real estate shaped his thinking — the wins, the mistakes, and the mindset that carried forward.

2️⃣ Building as a Couple & as a Family

How he and his wife structured roles, navigated partnership dynamics, and built a lifestyle around investing — not just a portfolio.

3️⃣ U.S. Expansion, 2008 & Hard Lessons

A candid breakdown of what 2006–2009 really looked like across Alabama, Florida, and Kelowna.
What went wrong. What it cost. What changed forever.

4️⃣ The Rebuild & Strategic Shift

How they recovered, capitalized on the 2015 market, refined their Kelowna strategy, and transitioned into full-time real estate.

5️⃣ From Residential Investor to Commercial Partner

In 2021, Nolan stepped into commercial real estate alongside his father — navigating corporate partnerships, triple-net leases, and mid-size assets.
He walks through the structure of a recent “home run” deal and how it was sourced when others couldn’t make the numbers work.

🎯 Who This Is For

• Investors who want to survive market shifts
• Couples building together
• Residential investors curious about commercial
• Anyone serious about long-term portfolio growth

This is real-world investing. Not theory. Not hype. Strategy forged through cycles.
