Keyspire - Helping you live the life you love through real estate education, coaching, and community. Founded by entrepreneurs, teachers, and real estate investors Scott McGillivray and Micahel Sarracini.
One of the biggest opportunities in real estate comes when a tenant leaves.
Most investors see tenant turnover as a problem.
Experienced investors see it as a reset button.
When a tenant moves out, you temporarily regain control of the asset, and that’s when four powerful levers come back into play:
1️⃣ Add value
This is your chance to invest strategically: targeted renovations, fixes, or upgrades that improve the quality of the property. Not over-renovating, just optimizing.
2️⃣ Reset the rent to market
In many jurisdictions, rent control limits increases while tenants stay.
But when a tenant leaves, you often get the opportunity to reset to market rent, sometimes hundreds of dollars higher, simply by aligning the property with today’s demand.
And these first two steps work best together.
Higher-quality product almost always commands higher rent in any consumer market, housing included.
3️⃣ Refinance (when it makes sense)
With increased rent and added value, refinancing can allow you to extract equity, often tax-efficiently, and redeploy it into other assets.
4️⃣ Place new tenants and move forward
You stabilize the property again, but now at a stronger income and equity position than before.
This is how portfolios quietly improve over time, not through dramatic moves, but through repeatable moments of optimization.
Question for you:
👉 When a tenant leaves, do you get discouraged (it's ok if you do)… or do you see opportunity?

In the video, Michael walks you through the 5-part Keyspire Results Roadmap — the same roadmap our strategists use in paid strategy sessions to help investors get clarity, confidence, and a real next step.
Here are the 5 steps:
-Fund (build your “capital stack” so you can actually move when a deal shows up)
-Find (choose your method — seeker, magnet, or delegator)
-Buy (offer design + negotiation that creates win-wins)
-Add Value (renos + income upgrades that put you in control)
-Get Paid (your exit strategy before you ever buy)
The best part?
This isn’t theory. It’s a simple way to think so you stop feeling scattered — and start making progress.

People always ask: “What’s the best real estate strategy?”
Here’s the honest answer 👇
It depends on YOU.
Every investment should be measured against The 4 Ways to Win™:
✔ Active Appreciation
✔ Passive Appreciation
✔ Principal Recapture
✔ Cash Flow
If a deal doesn’t align with what you actually want, income, growth, or both, it’s the wrong deal for you, no matter how popular the strategy is.
👉 Watch this Michael Minute to learn how to filter opportunities like a pro.
