Hi Everyone,
I have wanted to join REIN for a while now, and after going to the event in Calgary last Saturday, I finally made the commitment. I am looking forward to meeting people who have similar interests and have had career success in real estate investment and development.
My wife and I moved to Calgary about 4 years ago. Just in time to buy a small overpriced home at the height of the bubble. I did some value-add renos while there and now I have some great tenants taking care of the mortgage. I am 18 months into my second Calgary property and doing some smart renos there. The basement has become a suite and has a tenant and I am renting out the garage to pay for my REIN subscription. I plan to be getting into another property in the spring. Whether I keep or sell this one is still undecided.
I am in IT, but in the last few years realized that my passion is renovating. I would like to buy, fix and sell (or better yet hold) properties for a living. I read of the term switch -jobbing (Joey Ragona), thats me. I take a week holiday and renovate my bathroom or put down hardwood flooring and then return to work refreshed and invigorated.
If anyone wants to talk about their reno projects or better yet, hear about mine and look at my pictures, I am always available.
My personal Belize is in the Philippines and involves scuba diving.
