The Real Path to BYOB(Be your own Boss)

Antoine Martel is a 25-year-old real estate investor from Toronto, Canada. While still in college Antoine learned about real estate investing and knew it was his calling. From his dorm room, he completed his first BRRRR(Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)

He bought his first property in Memphis virtually after making 250 phone calls to realtors, property managers and then found his dream team of the realtor, contractor, and property manager. Through this great partnership, he was able to continue to grow his business without relocating

To research the market he recommends bls.gov, the Census Bureau, Forbes, looking at who the major employers are, the diversity of that workforce, population growth, job growth, all these different kinds of things that you look at, to choose the market in a macro sense.

For the microdata he looks at owner-occupancy rates, the rent to value ratios, the crime rates, and so kind of a lot of research. If, if a market doesn't make sense on the macro, it's not going to make sense for on the micro side

From the experience he shared -calculated risk backed by data, along with networking and being persistent were the reasons for his success

Antoine is also very popular on Instagram because of his engaging content and is an inspiration to all the young folks getting out of college to start a business in Real estate
