Real Estate Front and Centre at the 2025 MoneyShow Toronto
This year’s MoneyShow Toronto, taking place from September 12 to 13 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, is shaping up to be a standout opportunity for Canadian real estate investors seeking to reposition their portfolios, adapt to post-pandemic market realities, and uncover new strategies for long-term wealth creation. While the MoneyShow is traditionally known for its wide coverage across asset classes, from equities and ETFs to options, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, it also offers a wealth of information and opportunities related to real estate, as a key investment strategy and foundational piece of multi-asset financial planning.
This year’s event presents an especially relevant set of sessions, speakers, and exhibits. Across two days, the show will offer real estate–centred content that ranges from tactical portfolio expansion to estate planning and intergenerational wealth transfer, all within the context of shifting macroeconomic conditions and rising investor demand for income-generating assets.
Featured Real Estate Sessions
The 2025 agenda features dedicated real estate sessions and a range of complementary topics that support real estate investment strategies.
Special Real Estate Track
There will be a special track for real estate investing. MoneyShow experts will provide insights about commercial and residential real estate markets and share their favourite income and profit vehicles for Canadian investors looking to capitalize in the sector. A powerful lineup of experts focused on helping investors generate income, scale portfolios, and build long-term wealth through property and financing strategies is featured.
Dalia Barsoum (Founder, Streetwise Mortgages & Streetwise Wealth) leads a session titled “Cash Flow To Your Dream Life: Build Your Real Estate Portfolio For Financial Freedom”, offering a practical roadmap for growing a high-performing real estate portfolio. She covers how to identify profitable residential properties, secure optimal financing, and scale investments to create a sustainable passive income stream capable of funding long-term lifestyle goals.
David Morrison (Morrison Financial) offers a distinct angle with “Make Money In Real Estate Without The Risk Of Owning It”, revealing how high-net-worth investors generate predictable returns through alternative real estate lending and financial vehicles without direct ownership.
Bob Elliott (Unlimited Funds) and Sue O’Reilly (The Positive Point) are also featured speakers under the special real estate track. While part of the wider investment education program, their sessions on market volatility and income strategies through equities complement the real estate content by broadening the financial context and cash-flow approaches.
The Real Estate Multiplier Effect: How to Turn One Property Into Five and Create Your Own Pension
One of the key highlights of the program is a session by Ryan Coyle and Simeon Papailias, noted experts in the field, on “The Real Estate Multiplier Effect: How to Turn One Property Into Five and Create Your Own Pension.” Together, they will present a detailed breakdown of how Canadian investors can build a retirement-income model through real estate, not by holding for appreciation alone, but by strategically using leverage, equity recycling, and cash flow reinvestment. His session will illustrate steps beyond the generic buy-and-hold strategy, and instead lays out a formula for expanding a single asset into a portfolio that compounds wealth over time, with an emphasis on using market cycles, mortgage structures, and smart financing to accelerate growth. Coyle’s approach is highly relevant in a climate where investors are weighing the long-term viability of both traditional retirement plans and volatile equities.
Panel on Wealth Building
MoneyShow’s real estate–related discussions and speakers will be of interest to both new and seasoned investors. One notable panel titled “From Parents to Prosperity: How to Pass Down Wealth That Lasts,” moderated by author and financial educator Sandy Yong, explores how families can structure their assets, including real estate, to ensure successful wealth transfers across generations. The panel, which also includes Maya Corbic, Clifton Corbin, and Jackie Porter, will tackle questions around tax-efficient ownership structures, real estate as a tool for financial education, and how to prevent common pitfalls in estate planning. For investors looking to build not only personal net worth but also financial legacies, the session offers clear direction on integrating real estate into broader wealth plans.
Exhibit Hall
Several vendors and sponsors will showcase property-based investment platforms in the Exhibit Hall, including traditional REITs, private real estate funds, fractional ownership and crowdfunded development opportunities and fintech tools for property evaluation.
Mortgage Solutions
Mortgage investment corporations (MICs) and alternative lenders will also have a visible presence, offering solutions for those exploring unconventional financing or looking to place capital in fixed-income, asset-backed vehicles. Combined with property evaluation software and financial planning tools on display, the show’s exhibit floor provides hands-on access to resources that can immediately support real estate investment decisions.
Networking
Attendees can also expect networking opportunities with like-minded investors, real estate professionals, financial advisors, and fund managers. The ability to compare strategies, discuss market conditions, and form potential investment partnerships adds a valuable layer to the experience—especially for those active in the property space or planning significant reallocation into real estate from other asset classes.
As Canadian investors continue to respond to unpredictable inflation trends, evolving tax regulations, and fluctuating housing markets, this year’s MoneyShow is well-positioned to offer clarity and concrete strategies. Whether you are already active in real estate or looking to get started, the MoneyShow offers practical insights, strategic guidance, and direct access to tools and opportunities that can support your next move.
