Ep. 148: Road to becoming "Welloff" in Real Estate

RISE Real Estate Investing Podcast

After graduating from the University of Toronto in 2012, Georges El Masri embarked on a career path that initially seemed promising—an office job with a tech company. However, he soon found himself grappling with a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness. After a prolonged period of self-reflection, George arrived at a pivotal realization: his true passion lay in the realm of real estate.
Contemplating what would bring him genuine happiness over the next decade, Georges made a resolute decision to pursue a career in real estate. Armed with this clarity of purpose, he took the proactive step of obtaining his realtor's license, fully cognizant that this was just the first step towards his ultimate goal of becoming a real estate investor.
In 2017, Georges executed his first successful "BRRR" (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance) strategy, an experience that ignited a fervent passion for real estate investment within him. Since then, he has been unwaveringly committed to the pursuit of building wealth through strategic real estate ventures, all the while harboring a sincere desire to empower others to achieve financial success through property investment.
