Investor in the Canadian Capital!
Hi Folks,
I am a new investor from Hamilton Ontario, currently residing in Ottawa Ontario.
I have 2 properties under my belt, A Triplex and a Duplex, and am excited to add more! My grandmother was a realtor for 40 years and just retired, so the business has been close to the family for a long time. My Grandfather was a entrepreneur with fingers in building/developing/property management/patent trolling/window and door manufacturing... between the two of my grandparents it has shown me the power of running your own business and real estate.
My Wife and I moved to Ottawa to allow her to start her career with the Canadian Government and we have been here for almost 4 years. We have a great handle of the city, and my day job allows me to travel to all of the smaller communities surrounding it. If you ever want to meet up for a coffee or beer, I am up for it! Of course the phone works wonders if distance is an issue.
I am in the process of registering with REMAX Core in Ottawa and will be licensed to hunt for deals on market next week. I have already been able to find several off market opportunities for a few of my friends to get started in this life long journey.
Looking forward to building wealth, making friends through business and having fun along the way.
Cheers,
James

Hi Joel,
I’m not actively looking in Hamilton, but always open to ideas and opportunities. Mostly interested in things that cash flow at least 1% of the purchase price monthly. Ideally 2 or more though! Getting harder to find In The heated markets of hamilton and Ottawa though.
