Carina is an accomplished real estate investor whose portfolio and commitment to growth have made her a trailblazer in land development. Working with an unflagging spirit, she delved into real estate investing with the energy and commitment she once dedicated to her corporate career. Despite the challenges she faced, her determination never wavered. She was particularly drawn to properties close to transit, appreciating their potential and the city's initiatives towards intensification. Her first project was a double lot close to a station, which she bought through an estate sale. Although she initially had not made a clear plan for the property, her interactions with other builders and developers opened her eyes to the possibility of flipping the property once the permits were approved. This realization led her to a highly successful venture that doubled her salary and ignited her passion for real estate. Carina found financial success and a sense of purpose and fulfillment in her quest to live the life she truly desired.
