Truth About Real Estate Investing - An American Virtual Wholesaling From Canada

This week on The Truth About Real Estate Investing for Canadians, I’m joined by Nathan Payne, founder of Painless Flipping—and no, that’s not just a clever name. Nathan’s a full-time real estate wholesaler who runs his entire U.S.-based business virtually… from small-town Ontario, Canada. We get into: ✅ How he wholesales houses without ever meeting sellers in person ✅ His pivot during COVID that expanded his business nationwide ✅ Why he prefers wholesaling in the U.S. over Canada (spoiler: faster evictions, better cash flow, and yes—fewer meth labs) ✅ The truth behind wholesaling income claims, guru coaching fluff, and what new investors are getting wrong ✅ His hands-on apprenticeship model—a no-fluff, partner-on-deals approach to learning the business Nathan doesn’t just talk about values—he lives them. From faith, family, and integrity-first investing, to feeding missionaries and knocking doors in rural Ontario during a snowstorm... This guy walks the walk. 🎯 If you're looking for practical wholesaling insights without the “get rich quick” pitch, this episode’s for you. 💻 Book a free call with Nathan: www.painlessflipping.com 🎥 Free YouTube trainings: Search “Nathan Payne Painless Flipping” Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathanpayneofficial Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/payneless 👇 Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Nathan’s move from Utah to Ontario 04:00 – How virtual wholesaling really works 06:30 – COVID pivot: Going national in the U.S. 08:00 – Apprenticeship model: Partnering on real deals 17:00 – Why character matters in real estate 24:00 – How he buys leads & avoids cold calling 27:30 – Assignment fees by market 33:00 – Meth labs, squatters & U.S. vs Canada eviction law 40:00 – MLS listings without being a Realtor 45:00 – Real talk: The sales process & why wholesaling isn’t easy 50:00 – Book a call or watch free training _____________________________________ This podcast episode is also available on: 👉On iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/truth-about-real-estate-investing…/id1100488294 👉On Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Z8yd37AQfQI5DK0J0Xwzz 👉Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/40fe627d-dec7-4f5d-b7e5-90a550fffe46/the-truth-about-real-estate-investing-for-canadians 👉Audible:https://www.audible.ca/podcast/The-Truth-About-Real-Estate-Investing-for-Canadians/B08JJS91WR _____________________________________ 👉 WATCH NEXT: ▶️Canada Just Voted – Here’s What It Means for Real Estate Investors: https://youtu.be/H52Tzxgarws ▶️Canadian Powerhouse Conference (Featuring A-Rod & Kevin O'Leary): https://youtu.be/kkFcPRzbD9Y ▶️How Much Does It Cash Flow?: https://youtu.be/e_KSwHCQUjk ▶️How to Profit from U.S. Real Estate During the Tariff War: https://youtu.be/SDjjMq267NU ▶️Ontario Rental Market Update: https://youtu.be/-BKS5ZMgCMY _____________________________________ 👉 WANT TO BUILD WEALTH WITH REAL ESTATE?
