Pursuing More: From Deals to Sovereignty


Pursuing More isn’t about chasing financial wealth for its own sake — it’s about building true wealth: the freedom to choose how we spend our time, who we spend it with, and what we build along the way.

This is the start of something new — and something I’ve wanted to share for a long time.

Each month, I’ll be pulling back the curtain on what we’re building at BAM Real Estate Ventures — not just the deals, but the principles, systems, and lessons that shape this journey toward freedom, alignment, and sovereignty.

Because real estate, for me, has never been about accumulation. It’s about autonomy. It’s about creating ownership — in our time, in our income, and in the direction of our lives.

It’s not driven by greed or accumulation, but by alignment — creating systems, ownership, and momentum that move us closer to sovereignty, fulfillment, and a life designed with intention.

Pursuing More: Sovereignty

Sovereignty means building a life where no one else holds the keys to your time, income, or direction.

It’s not about having the biggest portfolio, it’s about having the systems, ownership, and freedom to live on your terms.

Every deal and every system we create at BAM is a step toward that, for my partners and for my family. Sovereignty isn’t just freedom, it’s freedom anchored by responsibility. It’s intentional living, choosing the hard disciplines today that create the space to live on your own terms tomorrow.

Why We Do What We Do

It all starts with WHY

RV Life

For me, it all starts with why.

A few weeks ago, we packed up our RV for a short trip — nothing fancy, just a few days away.

But sitting around that campfire reminded me what all of this is really about: being present, slowing down, and designing a life around the people and priorities that matter most.

The RV isn’t just a toy; it’s a tool that helps us live our why.

Real estate is the vehicle, but freedom is the destination. Family, autonomy, and impact are the reasons behind every decision.


Rent To Home Now Update:

Building Wealth, One Family at a Time

At Rent To Home Now, we believe homeownership is more than a dream - it’s a journey.

Across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland, that journey is unfolding every day. We’re helping families take real steps toward ownership - improving credit, signing lease-option agreements, and preparing for mortgages that once felt out of reach.

On the ground this month:

- New families are being approved and starting their path to homeownership

- October check-ins showed steady financial progress and well-kept homes

- More investor partners are coming aboard, drawn by steady returns and meaningful impact

- Three new clients are touring properties - soon to pick the homes they’ll own

Every Rent To Home Now deal builds at least 10% future equity for our tenant-buyers, while delivering consistent, shared returns for our partners.

Our portfolio now includes 18 active properties, with Deal #20 closed this month — and three more in the pipeline.

Program Updates:


Expanding Support Systems: We’ve launched two dedicated courses for our clients - a Credit Building Course and a Saving & Budgeting Course. These resources help families strengthen their financial foundation and stay consistent on the path toward homeownership.

Growing Our Network: We’re expanding our connections with more realtors and mortgage brokers across Canada, building partnerships that help families find the right homes and the right financing faster.

Technology & Transparency: We now offer free rent reporting to Equifax for our clients - a powerful tool that helps boost their credit scores and increases their success rate in completing the Rent To Home Now program.

Looking Ahead: As we move into the winter months, our focus shifts to reinforcing systems - ensuring every family stays on track and every property performs to standard. Stability now means success later.


Wins & Lessons

Victory: Closed Deal #20, bringing us to 18 active Rent To Home Now properties, 2 completed the program (with 3 more in acquisition).

⚠️ Tough lesson: Financing is never a “done deal” until the mortgage docs are signed. One of my partners watched the lender keep moving the goalposts with new requirements right up to possession day - reminding us that persistence and backup plans are essential.

Miguel’s Take on Rent To Home Now

Closing Thoughts:

As we wrap up October, I’m reminded that every part of this journey — from new deals to late-night team calls — is really about one thing: building freedom through intention.

Sovereignty isn’t just a theme for this month; it’s the foundation for everything we’re building at BAM. Every property, partnership, and person we bring on board moves us closer to that shared goal — the freedom to live, work, and invest on our own terms.

If this mission resonates with you — whether you’re an investor, a fellow entrepreneur, or just someone chasing more alignment in life — I’d love to connect.
You can book a call here or reach out directly to start a conversation.

Until next month, keep pursuing more — more alignment, more progress, and more time to enjoy what truly matters.
