Throughout his career, he constantly emphasized the need to think creatively, and so began his journey into real estate investing. His real estate adventure started with an aborted pre-construction condo purchase. After fully understanding the financial implications, he calculated he'd be outmatched and backed out within the 10-day cooling period. Determined not to be defeated, he opened a map of Ontario. His research pointed him to Windsor, a city on an impressive growth trajectory. In Windsor, he bought his first property, a single-family home, for $257,000. Thanks to creative financing, the down payment came from a mix of his savings, a loan from his parents quickly repaid via a line of credit. He was now cash flow positive, but his tenants stopped paying rent due to COVID-19. It was a hard setback but a lesson in due diligence and clear communication.
