Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with Georges El-Masri Getting over the hurdle of getting started. Leveraging a realtor background to grow your portfolio Understanding a work-life balance with full-time investing. Providing value to the marketplace   "After graduating from the University of Toronto in 2012, I picked up a full-time office job with a tech company. I quickly realized how miserable I was. After a really LONG period of reflection, I realized I'd be much happier in real estate. I thought to myself, "what can I do every day for the next 10 years and wake up feeling happy?". The answer was clear. I got my realtor's license knowing that one day I would become a real estate investor. After completing the "BRRR" strategy for the first time in 2017, I was hooked. Since then, I've been obsessed with the idea of building wealth and helping others do the same. My mission is to help you and your family become well off! If you're feeling stuck or unsure, I encourage you to reach out to me. We've all been there and a little advice can go a long way!
