🔥 OREIG May Meetup Recap – Edmonton & Alberta Investing with Calvin Hexter 🔥

What an incredible night at the Okanagan Real Estate Investment Group!

A huge thank you to Calvin Hexter for delivering a dynamic, informative, and practical presentation on Edmonton and Alberta real estate investing. Calvin did an outstanding job helping investors understand not only WHY Alberta continues to attract investors, but HOW to become more strategic and intentional with their investment goals.

3 of the biggest takeaways from the evening was the importance of clarity:
➡️ Knowing what type of investor you are
➡️ Understanding your financial goals
➡️ Communicating clearly what you are looking for

Calvin broke down the differences between A, B, C, and D class properties and explained how important it is to communicate specifics to your Realtor and investment team.

For example:
“I’m looking for a B-class property in this area with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a basement suite.”

That level of clarity helps move investors closer to the outcomes they truly want.

Calvin also shared parts of his personal investing journey, including lessons learned and mistakes made along the way — which made the presentation both relatable and extremely valuable.

Beyond the education, the room was filled with amazing networking, new connections, and strengthened relationships within our investing community.
