Frequently Asked Questions.

JK Real Estate Partners is a real estate education and mentorship company founded by Canadian entrepreneurs Janie Grenier and Kyle Duelund.

Our mission is to help aspiring and experienced investors develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to build wealth through U.S. real estate.

Our education is grounded in firsthand experience acquiring, renovating, owning, and operating income-producing properties across multiple American markets.

We offer free masterclasses, workshops, immersive real estate experiences, advanced educational programs, and mentorship.

Janie Grenier and Kyle Duelund are entrepreneurs and real estate investors who have spent years building businesses and acquiring income-producing assets.

After beginning their real estate investment journey in Canada, they expanded into the United States in 2015.

Together, they’ve built businesses spanning real estate investments, renovations, property operations, and education.

Their journey has included financial challenges, difficult decisions, valuable lessons, and significant entrepreneurial growth.

Today, they share their knowledge and experience to help others approach real estate investing with greater clarity and confidence.

JK Real Estate Partners owns properties across three U.S. states:

• Ohio
• Florida
• Michigan

Our portfolio includes residential rentals, multifamily properties, mobile home parks, sober living homes, short-term rentals, and room rentals.

Our experience spans different property types, investment strategies, and operational models.

This diversity allows us to bring broader perspectives into our educational programs rather than focusing on a single investment strategy or geographical market.

Our ownership and operational experience includes six major categories:

Residential properties: Traditional rental investments focused on long-term income and asset ownership.

Multifamily properties: Buildings containing multiple residential units, offering different approaches to rental income and property operations.

Mobile home parks: A distinct real estate asset class with its own ownership, management, infrastructure, and investment considerations.

Sober living homes: Residential properties operated within a specialized housing model that involves additional operational and regulatory considerations.

Short-term rentals: Furnished accommodations designed for shorter guest stays, including vacation rental operations.

Room rentals: Properties where individual rooms are rented separately, creating a different rental income and management structure.

Each strategy involves unique opportunities, challenges, expenses, and risks.

Our programs help investors understand these differences and recognize why selecting the right investment strategy is just as important as finding a property.

Our education is rooted in firsthand ownership and operational experience.

We’ve experienced the realities of real estate investing, including acquisitions, renovations, property management, business operations, and unexpected challenges.

Our approach emphasizes:

• Practical real estate knowledge
• Understanding the numbers behind a deal
• Evaluating risk before investing
• Exploring multiple markets and strategies
• Developing business systems
• Taking responsibility for investment decisions
• Building assets with long-term financial objectives in mind

We believe real estate education should go beyond motivation.

It should help people develop the knowledge and judgment required to make informed decisions.

Absolutely.

You don’t need previous investing experience to begin learning with JK Real Estate Partners.

Many people start with little understanding of real estate, financing, or property analysis.

Our introductory educational experiences are designed to help you understand the fundamentals and explore whether real estate investing aligns with your goals.

A great place to begin is one of our free weekly masterclasses.

There is no universal minimum amount.

The capital required depends on the property, location, financing structure, renovation needs, closing costs, and your financial situation.

Different investment strategies also have different capital requirements.

Our educational programs help investors understand acquisition costs, financing, reserves, and the importance of evaluating the complete investment.

Before purchasing property, it’s important to assess your financial readiness and understand the risks involved.

Yes.

Many people begin investing while maintaining a full-time career or operating another business.

Real estate investing requires planning, oversight, and decision-making, especially during the early stages.

However, professional management, appropriate systems, and a reliable network of service providers can help reduce an investor’s direct involvement.

The objective for many investors is to build income-producing assets that may eventually provide greater financial flexibility.

No.

You can begin learning and investing while continuing your current career.

For some people, employment income provides financial stability while they develop investment knowledge and acquire assets.

Leaving employment is a personal financial decision that should be based on your circumstances, obligations, and reliable financial resources.

Real estate can be an effective long-term wealth-building strategy.

Depending on the investment, potential benefits may include rental income, appreciation, loan principal reduction, and certain tax advantages.

However, property values can decline, expenses can increase, and income is never guaranteed.

Successful investing requires careful analysis, financial planning, and responsible management.

Real estate can generate income without requiring an investor to personally perform every operational task.

However, property ownership is not automatically passive.

Even professionally managed properties require financial oversight, maintenance planning, and periodic decisions.

The amount of involvement depends on the investment strategy, management structure, and property performance.

Our educational approach encourages investors to consider both the income potential and the responsibilities of ownership.

Start with education.

Real estate involves meaningful financial commitments, and mistakes can be expensive.

Learning how to evaluate properties, understand financing, assess renovation costs, and recognize risks can help you make more informed decisions.

You don’t need to know everything before you begin learning.

You need a willingness to ask questions and build your knowledge before making major financial commitments.

No.

JK Real Estate Partners welcomes both American and Canadian investors.

Although Janie and Kyle began their investing journey in Canada, our educational programs focus primarily on U.S. real estate.

Our investment principles can benefit participants on either side of the border, while specific legal, tax, and financing considerations depend on individual circumstances.

No.

Many individuals own investment properties outside their country, state, or city of residence.

Remote ownership requires reliable systems, appropriate professional support, and careful oversight.

Depending on the investment, this may involve property management, contractors, insurance professionals, accountants, and local legal counsel.

Not necessarily.

Some lenders offer financing options for foreign nationals and investors without established U.S. credit histories.

Requirements vary depending on the lender, investment property, available capital, residency, and financial qualifications.

Investors should consult qualified lending professionals to determine their available options.

Depending on your circumstances, purchasing property through a legal entity may be possible.

Ownership structures can affect liability, taxes, financing, reporting obligations, and estate planning.

There is no universal structure that works best for every investor.

Legal and tax professionals should be consulted before choosing how to hold investment properties.

Different markets offer different investment opportunities.

Certain U.S. markets may provide acquisition costs, rental yields, financing possibilities, and investment models that differ from those available in Canada.

However, no country or market guarantees profitability.

The decision should be based on investment objectives, financial analysis, and the investor’s ability to manage the associated risks.

Our programs focus on real estate investment principles, financial analysis, and investment strategies primarily within the United States.

These concepts are relevant to both American and Canadian participants.

Country-specific legal, financing, and tax requirements should be addressed with appropriate licensed professionals.

No.

Although Northeast Ohio is an important part of our investing experience, JK Real Estate Partners is not a Cleveland-specific education company.

We own properties in Ohio, Florida, and Michigan.

Our programs draw on experience across multiple markets and investment strategies.

The goal is to teach investors how to evaluate opportunities based on their numbers, risks, and objectives rather than become dependent on one location.

Yes.

Florida is an important part of our real estate ownership and operational experience, and we are incorporating more Florida-focused examples and investment concepts into our educational programs.

Depending on the program, participants may explore topics such as rental market analysis, short-term rental considerations, property operations, and differences between investment strategies.

Our educational principles are applicable across U.S. markets.

Each market has its own characteristics, potential advantages, and risks.

Ohio: Certain communities offer opportunities to explore cash-flow-focused properties, traditional rentals, and value-add investments.

Florida: Different regions offer exposure to residential rental markets, tourism-driven demand, short-term rental operations, and other investment opportunities.

Michigan: Various markets offer residential and multifamily investment opportunities with different acquisition costs, rental dynamics, and operating considerations.

No market is universally better than another.

The right investment depends on the individual property, location, financial assumptions, and investor objectives.

Yes.

Residential and multifamily properties are part of our ownership experience.

Our educational programs explore principles relevant to analyzing rental income, expenses, financing, property condition, and investment performance.

Specific examples and topics depend on the program curriculum.

Our business experience includes short-term rental operations, including in Florida.

Educational topics may include property selection, operating expenses, guest demand, management, seasonality, and investment analysis.

Short-term rentals involve additional considerations, such as local regulations, licensing, insurance, occupancy rates, and operational expenses.

Room rentals are part of our operational experience.

This investment model involves renting individual rooms rather than leasing an entire property to one household.

It can create different revenue possibilities, but it also introduces additional management responsibilities, turnover considerations, and regulatory requirements.

Our educational approach emphasizes evaluating both potential revenue and the full cost of operations.

Yes.

Sober living homes are part of our real estate ownership and operational experience.

This specialized housing model involves considerations beyond those of a traditional rental property, including resident services, operational policies, community relationships, and applicable legal requirements.

It is not appropriate to assume that every property or market is suitable for this strategy.

Our portfolio includes mobile home parks, giving us firsthand ownership experience with this asset class.

Mobile home parks have distinct considerations, including infrastructure, land ownership, utilities, tenant arrangements, maintenance, and operational responsibilities.

The level of mobile home park education included depends on the particular program.

There is no single best strategy for everyone.

The appropriate approach depends on your capital, experience, risk tolerance, preferred level of involvement, investment timeline, and financial objectives.

A strategy that works for one investor may be unsuitable for another.

Our goal is to help participants understand different approaches so they can make informed decisions.

A good deal requires more than an attractive purchase price.

Important considerations include:

• Purchase price and closing costs
• Financing terms
• Renovation and repair expenses
• Rental demand and potential income
• Taxes and insurance
• Property management
• Maintenance and capital expenditures
• Vacancy assumptions
• Cash flow and investment returns
• Neighborhood and market conditions
• Exit strategy and downside risks

A property should be evaluated using realistic financial assumptions and appropriate due diligence.

Our educational content includes concepts associated with value-add investing, including purchasing, renovating, renting, and evaluating refinancing opportunities.

These concepts are often associated with the BRRRR strategy: Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.

Refinancing terms and outcomes depend on lender requirements, property value, market conditions, and borrower qualifications.

A successful refinance or recovery of invested capital is not guaranteed.

Yes.

Our regular introductory masterclasses provide real estate education and introduce participants to important investment concepts.

They are designed to help you explore opportunities, develop your understanding, and determine whether you want to continue learning.

Some sessions may also introduce optional paid educational programs.

There is no obligation to purchase to attend the free portion.

Our regular English-language online masterclasses take place on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

We also organize selected in-person educational events in the Greater Montréal area, including Laval.

Visit our events page for current dates, topics, registration details, and availability.

Absolutely.

Our introductory masterclasses are an excellent starting point for individuals who want to understand the fundamentals of real estate investing.

You don’t need previous property ownership experience.

A free masterclass introduces key concepts, provides examples, and helps you identify areas for further learning.

Paid programs offer deeper educational content and may include additional frameworks, case studies, resources, exercises, discussions, or coaching.

The specific format and inclusions vary by program.

These focused educational programs address two fundamental investing skills.

Our educational programs may explore different financing concepts and investment structures.

Depending on the curriculum, these may include conventional financing, private lending, partnerships, and other acquisition-related considerations.

You don’t have to figure out the entire journey today.

Start by identifying the next educational experience that aligns with your current needs.

You can still begin learning.

Developing financial literacy, understanding investment analysis, and researching different strategies can help you prepare for future opportunities.

Our educational philosophy encourages investors to think about both asset ownership and long-term personal freedom.

Begin by exploring the fundamentals.

Learn about different investment models, understand the financial commitments, and consider the risks and responsibilities.
