When a 26-year Canadian Army veteran shifts from global missions to mission-driven real estate, you know something remarkable is happening. In this powerful new episode of Let’s Talk Real Estate Investing, I sit down with Martin Ouellet, founder of Continuum Real Estate Group and the national initiative Moving Heroes.

Martin’s story goes far beyond buying properties; it’s about discipline, purpose, and creating real-world impact for military members, veterans, and first responders. His journey from tactical planning to property acquisition is one you won’t forget.

In our conversation, Martin shares how he leveraged his military values, mission focus, strategic planning, and unwavering integrity to build a thriving real estate portfolio while continuing to serve as a senior instructor. His transition wasn’t accidental. It was intentional, structured, and fueled by a desire to help families build wealth the right way.

What began with duplex and triplex conversions evolved into large multifamily acquisitions and even new-build projects. But Martin’s mission didn’t stop at personal success. He founded Moving Heroes, a national network connecting heroes in uniform with trustworthy real estate professionals. Through referral partnerships, community collaborations, and a soon-to-launch foundation, Moving Heroes is funding accessible, subsidized housing for veterans and first responders across Canada.

One of the most inspiring parts of Martin’s work is how he blends investing with purpose. Every transaction, every connection, every property is part of a bigger vision: ensuring that those who serve have access to safe, affordable housing and the opportunity to grow generational wealth.

We also delve into Martin’s philosophy on collaboration, niche marketing, market strategy, and the importance of clarity for new investors. As he says, “Clarity is power, and the clearer you are about what you want, the faster your results come.”

If you’re a new investor, a seasoned pro, or someone who simply wants to be inspired by what purposeful real estate can achieve, this conversation will light you up. Martin proves that when you combine mission with action, you don’t just build portfolios; you change lives.
