My journey started with my first real estate investment in Canada, a property in Downtown Hamilton, in 2011. At the time, Hamilton was considered the armpit of Ontario, the ugly cousin to Toronto. Despite skepticism from others around me, I saw the citi’s potential due to its unique blend of urban density and heritage charm. With the little bit of capital I had saved up over the years and a basement apartment available for free, I left my career in 2014 and moved to Hamilton. This was my big contrarian bet, and I was all in.

Hamilton, one of Ontario's fastest-growing cities, attracts home buyers and has become a hotspot for travellers worldwide. This surge in popularity makes it an ideal time to explore which neighbourhoods stand out for their hospitality potential and livability. Let's discover the best neighbourhoods in Hamilton that promise a blend of comfort for residents and appeal for visitors, ensuring you make an informed decision that feels right.

I’m excited to take you through my personal journey in the real estate world, starting from my early days of inventing in Downtown Hamilton. It's a story of taking risks, learning from the ground up, and ultimately finding success in a market and career while many people initially doubted me. I'll share the challenges I faced, the strategies that worked, and why, in 2020, I decided to prepare my $15M portfolio for liquidation. I will also share why I decided to leave Canada and move to the Caribbean real estate market.
