Design The Life You Love: A Canadian's Faith-Fueled Real Estate Adventure In Florida With Tavia Rogerson

We are in for a treat with this powerhouse lady boss who said she is totally game to jump on the show. Let me give you a little bit of her backstory. When I read her mission in life, I was like, “It's in alignment with Ben and where we are at in helping people win on and off the court, and helping them to create those multiple streams of income.” Before I get carried away, let me dive into it.

Tavia Rogerson is a multi-business owner, real estate investor, trainer, and award-winning mentor. She started investing in real estate in 2021. She is a newbie, which is fun, but she's even dialed into wholesaling. She moved her family of four from Ontario, Canada to Southwest Florida, which is the best decision ever, with twenty years in corporate and many years in network marketing, which I totally connect with because that's how I jump-started my life. She has mastered the foundation to move her forward into the real estate arena. Her goal is to help people create that blueprint to help others design a life that they love by creating multiple streams of income and real estate to achieve their goals. Tavia, I’m excited to have you on.

Thank you so much. I am grateful that I'm here.

We've interviewed people all over the board. We've interviewed people from Instagram who have hundreds of thousands of followers and are a force to be reckoned with. What I think is cool about your story is you came from corporate. You decided to lean into the uncomfortable even when you were probably feeling totally outside of your zone and you decided to create a life. Now you're consistent in helping other people do the same. Why don't we go back to your corporate life and what prompted you to go to that next level?

It comes down to seeking and going after something that I couldn't find. I lived 45 minutes outside of Toronto back in Ontario. I would commute one good hour and a half one way and back home. Early on in my career, it was 5 years to do the max I could at that company, move 5 years again, and then keep on jumping. I had people say to me, “When are you going to be happy?” That used to strike me like, “Is there something wrong with me? Why am I not happy?” In my mind, I reached the max of where I could with one company. It was time for me to move on and continue to grow.

BL Tavia Rogerson | Real Estate Adventure

Growing is obviously the most important thing, but I remember reaching that top point. For me, that was being a buyer, traveling the world, curating my background in fashion, reaching that point, and having done all the things that I wanted to do. I distinctly remember looking outside my window and thinking, “There's got to be more to life than this. I wasn't satisfied.” At that point, it wasn't the money, team, opportunity, and travel. It's just I knew that there was something missing and I was eager to go and discover what I was.

Ben, you've always been a pretty content person. I always struggle with the FOMO or Fear Of Missing Out. The grass is always greener. With a type A personality, that comes with the territory. Ben, why don't you even share from your perspective? What was that tipping point for you that allowed you to feel like, “I'm in a good spot in my life,” then ask Tavia some of your questions because I know that you and I have very different personalities when it comes to that next level in life?

I can identify that I was corporate for ten years, but I got to a point where I was like, “I don't love my life. What do I want to do to make me love my life?” My question to you would be, ten years in, you obviously loved it or thought you did. What was that tipping point for you?

To be honest, it was freedom. I have two girls. At that time, I was just starting a family and my job owned me. It didn't just own me while I was there. It owned me before, after, and on weekends. It was never-ending. There is a great opportunity and a tremendous amount of guilt around that not being enough for me, but I knew with certainty when I hit that pinnacle job that I didn't want someone else raising my kids.

That was an important piece. Society tells us that you can't have it all. It's like you're the career or you're the mom. I knew that I was not a stay-at-home type of mom. That's not who I am. There's got to be a way that I can weave together wanting to be there for my family, yet wanting to be wildly successful and be able to provide for my family. For me, entrepreneurship was the answer.

Going from the pinnacle job, my guess is you were making good money, and then to be like, “I don't want somebody to raise my kids,” which side note, I totally understand that. My wife was a teacher when we first got married. When we found out we were pregnant, we were looking at childcare costs and all this stuff, and we were like, “Why would you work?” We're literally paying her salary to have somebody else raise our kids. I understand that. What was that first foray into entrepreneurship for you?

We're going back many years ago. At the time, oddly enough, and I'll blame it on ignorance, it was MLM. It was network marketing. I entered it for a different reason. Imagine going back to the very first question we had here about bringing back to corporate and the mindset there and me wanting more. I was the girl waking up, going to work, and coming home with this dream for a bigger life.

Meanwhile, I'm there with people, the majority, not everybody who are counting down to retirement. It’s a very different reality for people. As much as I loved the people that I worked with, the mindset was very different. The reason that network marketing appealed to me many years ago was because it was the first time I ever got into a room with people who were like-minded, dreamers, people who thought beyond, people who were seeking some freedom over the 9:00 to 5:00 or whatever that might be.

For me, it started with community and like-minded people where I could grow and see something happening. My next move was probably not very smart, but I don't believe in mistakes. That was my leaving corporate and entering into that, there are a lot of lessons, but that was my first taste at, “I now work for myself. Fight or flight.”

I would love to know those lessons. What did you learn from your multi-level marketing journey?

As a newbie, I had a lot to learn and I wasn't looking at it with a business hat. I was looking at it from an emotional perspective. For me, in those first couple of years, it was about community, mindset, and feeling of freedom even though it wasn't until I realized, “I'm not making the money that I thought I was going to make.” There were some tough lessons there for sure. It taught me a lot of discipline. When you work for yourself and make your own hours, there are a lot of responsibilities in that. It gave me a taste of, “It might not be the right vehicle, but I like this life, what it has to offer, and the promise of something more.”

Even when I was full-time in network marketing, I always said to my team like, “If you treat it like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby. You treat it like a business, it will pay you like a business. You have to have that right vehicle.” Sometimes there does come that expiration point where even if it's something that you've enjoyed for a period of time, you need a shift. Your soul is being called higher.

The longer that you wait to make the leap, even from corporate to network marketing, network marketing to real estate, or whatever that looks like, you have to get crystal clear on, “Where am I at?” The longer that you push that feeling down of, “I'll keep doing it,” the louder that voice gets. I experienced that quite a bit. You still have a thriving business with network marketing, but now you have dove into real estate. What prompted you or your sole calling saying, “It's time for that next point?”

Moving on from that company and moving forward, was a wake-up call for me recognizing it wasn't the right vehicle. Still to this day, that was probably the toughest thing I ever did. You know this firsthand. When you make that shift, that big pivot, or whatever point that is in your life, leaving that community was hard and put me in a position to, “I had to put the business hat on this time. How am I going to move forward towards the goal? What the goal always was?” I got a little sidetracked along the way.

The biggest step then was I ended up entering into another network marketing company. It was something that made a lot more sense. I put a different hat on with that one. I looked at the numbers, the long-term effects, and things like that. That was what set the playing field for our next step. Everything's a stepping stone, I believe. That pivotal point in us entering into the real estate market was spearheaded by our move from Canada to the US. That was the start over for us, a new country and a new opportunity. It's a go time. That was the catalyst to start fresh. What do we want to do? What do we want to move into?

Everything is just a stepping stone.

Does your husband work with you in real estate?

He dabbles. We're a good partnership. I'm the numbers girl. I get excited working numbers and looking at them. He's up until now been the boots on the ground. I'm definitely the one full steam ahead. He owner-operates his own business. When he can do it with me, he does. The goal is for us to have that as our plan, portfolio, and what we do full-time.

When you first started in real estate, you started in wholesaling. For the readers who don't know what wholesaling is, you might want to give them the rundown on that and how it's evolved since then.

Wholesaling is the action of finding marketing to off-market properties typically distressed. When I say off-market properties that are not listed on the MLS, those are distressed homeowners who need to sell their properties. It doesn't involve realtors. What you do is you put the property under contract with you and the homeowner. What you do is you assign it via contract to an end buyer. Sometimes you can keep it. Sometimes you find that end investor, but it's that A to B and B to C transaction that's done off-market.

BL Tavia Rogerson | Real Estate Adventure

Real Estate Adventure: Wholesaling is the action of marketing to off-market properties, typically distressed.

That's how I started in real estate. It was the best way to get started. It laid that groundwork. I remember calling Ben and I'm like, “This is the Wild West. There's no regulation.”

There's not a lot of regulation. I remember being like, “My partner made so much money last year.” I was like, “Ask what money went out.” Don't get me wrong, wholesaling is a good way to make a good chunk of change, but a lot of wholesalers, if they aren't careful, whatever they make basically goes right out the door so you're not netting a whole lot.

I remember partnering up with that guy in Daytona. On paper, we almost made $1 million in our first year in gross, and then when we looked at what our net was, it's one of those things where it's like, “Learn your lesson. It's not what you gross, it's what you net at the end of the day.” You got started in wholesaling. Tell us how it's evolved, where you are now, and what the end game ultimately looks like in the real estate arena because you said you guys ultimately want this to be the retirement plan.

It's very transactional as well, which is it can be great like, “Rip the Band-Aid off and make a lump sum of money if you're lucky,” but a lot of money typically has to go out in order to acquire those properties. It is the Wild West. There are players in that field and this is all they do. They have a team. They're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in marketing, and here you are making a phone call. It's different. It's a game and law in numbers.

Ultimately, everybody chooses what their thing is and what their avenue is. I don't have any regrets. For me, it was the gateway to real estate, especially being in a new country. We'd never done anything in real estate before, let alone now be in the US with a whole different set of rules, different animals, 10X the people, and all that. I'm grateful that we did start there and learn the ins and outs.

It's interesting because there are things you can learn in a book and there's a heck of a lot more stuff you will never learn in a book. I took the course as I watched all the videos. I'm like, “I got this. I'm ready,” then you enter into a deal. If anybody knows what it's like working with distressed buyers, I have a therapy degree somewhere that I've given myself.

There are things you can learn in a book and a lot more stuff you will never learn from it.

In network marketing, we have that here.

I have one for the wife where they're divorced and all this whole thing. I'm talking to legal teams and it's crazy. You get to a point where you're thinking, “I'm underpaid for this.” The thing for me is it is one-and-done. It's done. You're unemployed the next day. That was the biggest thing for me. What I mean by unemployed is, for anybody who doesn't have real estate, it's not something that keeps paying me. It's one transaction. It's done, “You're unemployed until the next deal comes your way.” It is definitely not a way to create a stable income going forward. It can be a great way to get your hands on properties, but long-term, it's not something that I see myself being a player in.

We're working on our first couple of flips, which are exciting down here in Southwest Florida. We are in a beach town. It's tons of Airbnbs. There are also a lot of rules and regulations around it. I'm looking at apartments. I'm trying to get my hands on some apartments. I started to build them small, have a portfolio, and make them quite bigger. I'm not opposed to single-family, but the strategy for us is to fix and flip and continue with that transactional piece to be able to fund the bigger pieces that we plan on going into.

It's cool to give people snapshots of where people are in their evolution in real estate because everybody has to start somewhere. You and I started in wholesaling. Ben started in transactions. It's important. I can't speak heavily enough about creating multiple streams of residual income. In case one dries up, you've got a couple of others to choose from and dig your wealth before you're thirsty because it's very easy for real estate investors to get in the game of transactions. They're creating a high-paying job.

I love that you're seeing the long-term vision, “We want residual. We want to scale it. We want to do the apartments,” but you're now building the foundation so you can get the cash to save that up in the fix and flip to get to that point. You're not losing sight. I'll be the first to admit. Even when I got started in transactions, it's like, “You sell a $1 million house, that's a nice chunk of change,” then you go to the next one. You can get caught up in the quick pace game. It's great for a period of time, but what happens when the market shifts? At the end of the day, it’s to create that residual for yourself and your financial future. The family legacy for your family is powerful.

There are some people who are like, “I have to have a side hustle.” I saw this reel by Alex Hormozi. He says, “You need to go all in on one thing, become incredible at that one thing, and then start diversifying outside of that.” That's important because there are some people who are the Dave Ramsey model of like, “I am going to save my way to wealth.” You can do that. I do think it's the slow boat to China. It will take you a long time, but the best thing is, in your case, “I'm getting out of corporate. It was a high-paying job, but now I'm getting into wholesaling. I can get paid, but now I'm going to focus on getting paid well and then diversifying into something that's going to pay me back again and again.”

I'm preaching to the agents on my team. I said, “I want each and every one of you to buy one, if not, multiple investment properties.” That's what I'm excited about. My business is still doing fine, but if you look at transactions from 2022 to 2023, we're about 40% down from where we were in 2022. That means there are 40% less transactions out there for all the realtors. In the event that your business gets cut by 40%, what are you going to have? I'm glad I've got a bunch of investment properties. I love where your head's at. Where are you at in your investing journey? It sounds like you got some flips. Do you have any long-term?

We are hungry. We are searching to get our hands on them. Depending on this flip and how it turns out, we might keep it. It's one of the exit strategies. You have to have multiple exit strategies on your flip, especially with a market like this. We're playing around with that. We will see. In this market, you have to keep your eyes focused on, though nobody has a crystal ball, but day-to-day what it's looking at.

BL Tavia Rogerson | Real Estate Adventure

Real Estate Adventure: You have to have multiple exit strategies on your flip, especially with the market like this.

For us, going back to creating that residual net income stream, we're in a new country and we ultimately want properties on both sides of the border. We have to create a lifestyle or income to support a lifestyle that is not going to keep us tied down to anything specifically. That's why real estate makes much sense. You can't be traveling and living 5 or 6 months in one place and then the balance in another country if a job owns you or something like that. Flexibility and freedom have always been a huge priority even more so now.

We should create an income to support a lifestyle that will not keep us tied down to anything.

Where are you targeting in Canada? I've been to Canada twice in my life. One for a basketball trip back in college. I don't count that. Me and Stef went for our yearly convention to EXPCON Canada. That was in Vancouver. I had never been to Vancouver.

It's gorgeous.

What a cool town. I was like, “I need to come back here.” I looked at the housing prices, and I was like, “That's a little intense.”

That is on the West Coast. I am in Central Ontario. There are two hubs of Canada, the West Coast, which is beautiful and there's so much to do. That's a thriving area, then there's the Greater Toronto area. That's where the metropolitan cities are. I am in the Greater Toronto area. I am right smack in the middle between Toronto and Niagara Falls. I'm perfectly situated right there. The funny thing is all my friends and colleagues are American.

As we were going through the immigration process to be here, they would look at me. It was tedious, expensive, and all these things. They would laugh and say, “You know you can stay.” I’m like, “No, we can't just stay. I want to be able to freely cross the border. I want to do everything right.” That was important to us of having a place back there because you can't just get up and leave. You could be a snowbird. I'm clearly not a snowbird. There's either you're a snowbird, you marry someone, or you invest in the US. I'm already married to a Canadian. That won't work.

My point is it's not easy to live here. It's challenging. It takes a well-thought-out plan. All my family is still there. My parents and my sister lived down the street from our home. Everyone's still there born and raised. It's important to us and for our kids as well to have a place there long-term. Maybe it will be on Airbnb. Who knows? For now, that's the focus.

It's cool because I got the audio message from you and you said, “I have a big vision to help Canadians lean into thinking about the bigger picture for their lives and be able to buy real estate in the United States.” It is a process and navigating the ins and outs. It's overwhelming that the average person would probably shut down halfway through. You say, “I have a vision for my people in Canada to roll out the red carpet and give them a step-by-step process so that they can think about the big picture for their lives.” When you invited me, I was honored to speak at your online virtual event for Canadians. Why don't you share with them a little bit about that and how this all came to be?

We've been here for a few years now. We made the big move in 2021. At that time, it was about starting over for us. It was exciting. We pulled it off. When you tell my story, I have a moment when you are talking about us because, looking back, it is the things that it took, the bravery, and the courage. We have a business. Ben, with you leaving what you did and doing something completely new, and Step, with what you did, that takes a whole lot of courage. We all know where it comes from, but it was not me. Not everybody has that. It's a lot easier. Trust me. I have multiple times a day when I say, “Life would be easier if,” but you have that driving you to do something.

I recognize that not everybody wants to relocate their family, but there's a heck of a lot of people who have messaged us since we came here and said, “I want to buy property there. I want to have an investment property there. We want to vacation home, but where do we even start? East Coast? West Coast? Who do you know and trust? Who do you use? How do we get approved for a mortgage?” All these hows are incredibly overwhelming. It's easier to probably not even start.

There are tax implications and all this different stuff. For me, it's been that little voice that nudged me for the last two years saying, “You got to help people. People want the answers to this. Carve out some time. Put this together.” I have spent the last few years here and probably even before. Stef, I've known you for a few years and I remember distinctly seeing a webinar that you and Ben hosted on investment real estate.

I don't know how I came across you. I fell in love with your mission and what you guys are doing. I've been following you and being part of this process for a long time. How can I then bring this to other people? It is that nudge of putting something together. I've networked. I've met the people. I have all the people who have made our journey possible and who have been instrumental in helping us take the next step while we've been here. I want to bring my network and everything that I've done to people to have it like a blueprint, a checklist, or a strategy to help them take the next step.

That's powerful because I've been dialing into the relocation and also the investor space. Ben has been huge in the investor space. That's what set him and me up for financial freedom and to be able to pay that forward and unlock the potential. Many people are tied to their jobs. It all boils down to freedom at the end of the day and being able to call the shots in your life. If people want to know more information about the event, where do they go?

You can reach out to me on Instagram @Tavia_Rogerson. All the details are there. Go to TaviaRogerson.com and you will see the event with all the details there. You can book a call with me and I'm happy to walk you through the next steps, what that might entail, and if it's the right fit for you.

Even John Maxwell says, “Take the cookies. Put them on the lower shelf. Let's all have some.” Ben, any other questions that you have about making transitions and taking the leap? Anything that comes to mind for you?

One of the questions I have is this. You had a good high-paying job with corporate. You got into multi-level. How long did it take to replace that income? There are some people who are thinking like, “If I'm nose off the grindstone for six months, I can get there whatever.” Maybe once you left multi-level getting into real estate, how long did it take to replace that income that you were experiencing?

There are multiple parts to this. The first part with the post corporate, that opportunity, I was there for about five years. It was an expensive hobby. I was back up against the wall, which prompted me to enter into the next opportunity. To be honest, that is still a thriving business for me. We still have that ongoing monthly income with that.

It's a great question because a lot of people think, “I'll replace that income fast.” It's a combination of a lot of things. I entered into my company back at the beginning of 2019. It all depends on where your mindset and bank account is. For me, at the beginning of 2019, it was back up against the wall. We got to make this work or else I'm going back to corporate and leaving my kids, which is the exact opposite of what I wanted to do.

I worked my life depended on it. I don't think I slept for the first two and a half years, but I was paid well for it. We helped a lot of people, add in what happened in 2020. Online shopping was a necessity and that's what I offered. I was able to offer people both great products and a way to create more money for their families. It was a win-win and we helped a lot of people. That put us in a position to move our family here to the US. For us, real estate has always been extra for us. We haven't had to rely on it as income. What comes in is great. We can put the majority of back out in marketing or put it towards that flip if we have to.

For us, it's not a replacing one for the other because that repeat income with network marketing will be one source. We have an owner-operated business, which we will take a passive approach to. That's another source, and real estate is the third source. It's all of these in combination. Having your money work for you is one thing to make a lot of money like in that corporate job. What we started off saying is, “What are you keeping, even in that real estate piece? How can you make your money work for you?” For me, having those assets that you're holding onto in real estate makes the most amount of sense.

Ben, any other questions before I dive into the lightning round with the lady boss?

Nope, I'm good.

If you wouldn't have got started in corporate at the beginning of your career, what would you have started with?

This is a great lesson. I wanted my own boutique desperately, but I was afraid of the business owning me and not making any money. That has always been my passion. I keep on saying one day I will have one, even if it's online.

To your point, I got offered a job at KSTP Channel 5. My mom sat me down and she said, “Here's the deal. If you do that, they will own you. If you make a mistake, they will chew you up and spit you out. You're super young and impressionable. What I would do is make some good money for yourself and then start your own media company.” That's always been in the back of my mind. I feel like even with network marketing and real estate, it's like, “I can have my own media and showcase different things.” I feel like I do sometimes get that outlet, but I agree with you. Dialing into that would be scary. People would be surprised that you spend much time doing what.

Reading. That's boring.

That's a good ROI a lot of times if it's personal development or whatever else. Chipotle or Chick-fil-A?

I just tried Chipotle. I tried it. We also don't have Chick-fil-A in Canada. It was an unfair question to me, but I did like Chipotle.

What are you reading?

I am reading Dream—I Dare You. Her name is Julia Gentry. She is an amazing follower of Christ and is part of a women's group in the church that we're following. It's all about stepping in and faith over fear. It's amazing.

Best piece of advice you've ever received.

“No one's going to follow a journey that isn't documented to share.” I'll tell you why it is a huge piece of advice. I am where I am because I was able to see what was possible in someone else. I'm not even talking necessarily about social media, but have conversations with people and learn about what they're doing. They all plant seeds. I had a whole bunch of seeds planted in me because they documented their journey by way of telling me the story, putting it on social media, and writing about it, and then that made an impression on me, which gave me the courage and the seed planted in order to take a step forward.

BL Tavia Rogerson | Real Estate Adventure

Real Estate Adventure: No one will follow an undocumented journey, so share.

That is powerful because if you just hold your stories to yourself of your life lessons, that goes in vain. A couple of December ago, it was hard for me to put out a podcast about how I had experienced a narcissist, a gas lighter, and all the things. It was nerve-wracking to put my story out there. I said, “Even if it helps one other person, it's worth it.” I had such feedback from that podcast, even though I was scared spitless. Good for you. That's a good piece of advice. Most embarrassing moment.

I've probably fallen many times. I block those things out.

Work through them in therapy. Block them out.

It's moments of when things are good, things are good. I'm sure you can agree. Sometimes, humility is a gift. Sometimes, I have found myself speaking in a way that might not be relatable to some people. I've had to go back to how I made that decision, why I do the things that I do, and speak to the person who I once was. For me, those are moments that I wish I could take back where that wasn't the intention of what I said or how it came off. I come from a place of I'm most powerfully positioned to help the person I once was. I wouldn't say embarrassing, but moments where I'm like, “Did I say that out loud? I should not said that.”

That's good. Coffee or chocolate?

Chocolate.

I am coffee. Describe yourself in one word.

Ambitious.

The home stretch of the last three questions. If someone met you and said, “I want to become the boss of my own life and call the shots, what's my first step?”

You need a plan and a strategy.

The corporate strategy girl, I love it. It was like, “I don't have the exact plan, but we are doing with this.”

For me, the plan is all-encompassing, but you need to see, know, and feel it. That's the plan.

What is your definition of a boss?

I would say a boss is someone who has a plan and knows it's not going to be easy but is willing to fight it through and learn a whole heck of a lot about yourself along the way.

Any last words of wisdom?

We can talk ourselves out of what we want to do easily. If something goes wrong, someone says something, or your property didn't close, and all these things that come up against you, whatever that plan A goal is, I've had people my whole life say, “Coming here to the US, what if it doesn't work out? What is plan B?” My response, and I still live with it, is, “There's no plan B. Plan B is to make plan A work. Plan B is a crutch.” For me, corporate was a crutch.

If you always have something, you'll never trip and fall forward. Even though it might not be pretty, you're going to learn so much along the way. I also don't believe in coincidence. I believe that we get these ideas and nudges and we come up with these crazy ideas because they've been put in us. It is our job and duty to go after them.

Fall forward. Even though it might not be pretty, you're going to learn so much along the way.

Thank you, Tavia. This was amazing. I absolutely love your vision and mission and how you're enhancing many people's lives. I adore you. Why don't you share with all the readers where they can find you, where they can look you up, send you a message, and connect?

I would love you to reach out. I always love feedback on everything. TaviaRogerson.com is where you can find me. Connect with me. Reach out to me on Instagram at @Tavia_Rogerson. Those dates for our virtual event are October 14th and 15th 2023. It's a two-day event. We were going to have it in person in Florida, but a lot of Canadians can't make the trip. We are going to have it online and virtual. It's going to be amazing.

It is time to fire your fear, build your faith, and become the boss of your own life. Let's get after it. Have an amazing day.

Thank you so much.
