Hello Bigger Pockets Forum!!

My name is Alex Lacasse.  While I am not yet a real estate investor, I have been involved with the construction and development of real estate projects from small homes to high rises over the last almost 20 years.  I started my career as a carpenter(custom homes and high rise formwork), went to school for civil engineering technology, became a construction estimator (high rise residential and commercial), then a construction project manager (commercial leasehold improvements) and now am involved with building a Light Rail Transit Project in Canada's Capital.

I live about an hour south of Ottawa and came to learn about bigger pockets by listening to the podcast during my daily commute to the city.

I am looking to get my business started in real estate with rehabbing projects.  I would like to start with a small home for a first time home buyer.

After I have a few single family homes under my belt, I would like to try to redevelop an old industrial building into high end condominiums.  

My end goal is to be a successful real estate developer, developing many types of projects from repurposing older buildings to new infill high rise construction and subdivision development.

Thanks for taking the time to read my intro, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Cheers!!
