If you’ve been told homeownership is out of reach,

this book will show you why that’s a lie —

and how to beat the system at its own game.

The System

Feels Broken,

Rent Goes Up.

Ownership Slips Away.

Your monthly rent could’ve been a

mortgage — but banks still say no.


Prices Keep

Climbing.

While your income stays the same,

real estate skyrockets.


The Irony

of It All

Politicians from every party fighting for “affordable housing” are also landlords themselves. Doesn’t quite add up, does it?


It’s Not Just Housing. It’s the Backbone of the Economy.

As of 2024, household debt in Canada exceeds 100% of GDP — the highest in the G7. Mortgages account for nearly 80% of that debt.


Ownership Is Shifting

— Quietly.

In cities across Canada, nearly 1 in 3 homes are owned by investors. Some are individuals. Others are corporations you’ve never heard of.


You’re Not The Only One Falling Behind — Almost Everyone Is.

And that’s not by accident.

But there’s still a way forward.

I Didn’t Write This to Sell You a Dream.
I Wrote It Because Too Many People Are Playing a Game They Don’t Understand.

I’m not some real estate guru.

I wasn’t born into money.

And I definitely didn’t set out to write a book.

I started out as a journalist, exposing censorship and government overreach during the pandemic.

But the deeper I dug, the more obvious it became:

The real story isn’t about politics. It's all about money.

While the headlines kept us distracted, monetary policy — the real engine of inequality — is quietly reshaping our lives.

It doesn’t matter who's in charge.

Social mobility is collapsing either way.

I'm not from a long line of homeowners.

Nobody handed me a blueprint for getting into the market.

If I wanted a future, I had to figure it out myself.

I got tired of being angry.

Tired of watching good people get priced out, rennovicted, and ripped off.

So I decided to get off the sidelines.

I took everything I had learned investigating policies, following the money, and studying the system.

Then I went deeper — earning my real estate license, decoding the inside playbook, and turning it into something the average person could actually use:

A battle plan.

One built for regular people — not insiders, elites, or billionaires.

And when I really saw how the game was played —

Pre-sales. Assignments. Bank Policies. Lobbyists, Speculators —

I realized:

The system isn’t broken.

It was never built for you.

But if you understand the rules —

You can flip the board.

This isn’t just a rant.

It’s a roadmap.

Built for people who are ready to stop waiting for permission — and start owning their future.

Because if I can figure this out, you can too.

And if you start now, you can own something, and be happy.

I Wish I Had. The one that connects the dots and shows you how to move — step by step.

Here’s what’s inside:

Inside Own Something

and Be Happy, You’ll Learn:

Inside Own Something

and Be Happy,

You’ll Learn:

  • Why the BC housing market feels impossible — and how to move anyway: Unpack how policies, incentives, and insider access shape the market — and how to work around the roadblocks.

  • The mindset shift to stop renting your future away:

    Ownership isn’t just about real estate. It’s about leverage, access, and freedom — and it starts in your head.

  • How to break into the market without a trust fund or inheritance: From pre-sales to assignments to creative entry points no one teaches you — until now.

  • What most buyers miss (and why it costs them):

    Learn how to spot red flags, identify conflicts of interest, and avoid getting burned by bad deals or bad advice. Learn to see the market like agents and seasoned investors do.

  • How to build something with what you’ve got:

    No inheritance? No six-figure down payment? No problem. Learn how to make power moves with limited options.

  • How to think like an investor — even on your first deal: See the market differently. Understand how value is created, not just consumed.

Plus: BC-specific data, market breakdowns,

and actionable checklists to guide your next move.

These are the mindset shifts and

breakthroughs this book is designed to spark.

Not overnight wins — but the start of

something real.


“This finally makes sense.”
Understanding the rules of the game brings peace, focus, and confidence. Confusion fades when things click.


“Shame begins to lift.”
It’s not a personal failure. It’s a system built to confuse and discourage. Knowing that? Changes everything.


“The waiting ends.”
No more sitting on the sidelines for “the perfect time.” Education replaces hesitation. Small steps start.


“The fog clears.”
Big words. Bad advice. Media noise. This book helps cut through all of it so readers can see what’s really going on.


“Conversations shift.”
Instead of zoning out when real estate comes up, readers start to lean in. Questions get sharper. Eyes open wider.


“The dream feels reachable.”
Ownership may still be far off — but it’s no longer off the table. With understanding comes new possibility.

They’re the shifts we hope you feel while reading—because you deserve to see the game clearly.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS? YOUR not alone.
