[Jesse Fragale]

My name is Jesse and I am a real estate investor living in Toronto Ontario, Canada. I have followed BP for sometime but have never signed up...until now.

A little about me. I started investing while in university in Waterloo, ON. I started with student rentals at 19 and got up to 4 properties in the area before graduating. I continued buying student properties in Waterloo and North Oshawa (University of Ontario IT). I was fortunate enough to be featured in Canadian Real Estate Magazine twice (if anyone is interested I could share the articles). Over the past 2 years I have sold 7 properties and have been focusing on breaking into apartments. While keeping only two student properties in the portfolio.

I have just gone under contract for an apartment building in Hamilton and hope to continue to purchase larger apartments.

As for my day job, I work for a Commercial Real estate in downtown Toronto. I work in our office group on the brokerage side.

I look forward to being part of the BP family!

Cheers,

JF

Nice Jesse,

Getting an apt under contact is a great next step.    Working in the field in commercial brokerage should also give you a great understanding and feel of the markets you are mining.  What's your plan to purchase larger apartments...trade up or syndicate to get bigger, faster ?   Give me a shout if you are interested in the latter, leveraging OPM and being the expert in finding and putting together the deals can get you really rocking.  I recommend a MF mentor / coach who's doing larger deals for consideration after you have read a few sound books on MF investing and also hooking into some local MF meetup groups in your area.  Network and build a solid reputation as someone that puts together quality deals.  Couple links to think about.
