MY INVESTING JOURNEY

My real estate investing career began in 2011 with my first investment near Toronto, Canada. This was well before the region's explosive market growth, which took off in 2015. Over the next decade, I was fortunate to ride the incredible wave of opportunity, building a multi-family and commercial real estate investment portfolio in Hamilton, ON, which I independently owned and managed. However, this success was often overshadowed by increasingly burdensome six-figure tax bills, frustrating tenant and landlord laws, and a complex municipal regulatory landscape that made scaling further within Canada difficult.

FINDING MY FREEDOM

By 2020, after travelling over 50 countries and dedicating thousands of hours to thorough research and strategic planning, I made the life-changing decision to leave Canada. I explored options in Europe, Asia, and Central America before ultimately deciding to move to the Eastern Caribbean. As of 2021, I am a proud resident and newly minted citizen Antigua and Barbuda, a beautiful twin island nation in the Caribbean. Antigua offers a perfect balance between lifestyle and a highly attractive, tax-efficient environment for real estate investing and entrepreneurship. It’s a place where I have found peace and freedom and an emerging market with significant investment potential that continues to grow year after year.
