Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with Pawel Blazejewicz

About our Guests

Pawel was born and raised in Poland, where he developed a passion for IT engineering. He spent over 25 years working in the field, specializing in datacenters and cloud solutions.

In 2007, after buying his first apartment in Europe, he discovered a new passion—real estate. Pawel saw an opportunity to build long-term wealth and create the lifestyle he wanted for himself and his family through rental units and real estate investments.

Pawel and his wife, Ewa, migrated to Ireland and then to Canada. They bought their primary residence in Canada, which was a "do-upper," and renovated it from top to bottom. During this time, Pawel also focused on understanding the financial products available to immigrants and residents in Canada, as well as the Canadian real estate market trends and challenges.

With four years of appreciation and forced appreciation, he sold the primary residence and leveraged the returns to purchase seven rental units and another primary residence. Within the next two years, he managed to grow his portfolio to nearly 20 units in the Ontario and Alberta markets.

Pawel's story is one of perseverance, strategic planning, and seizing opportunities. He has shown that with the right mindset and knowledge, anyone can achieve their financial goals through real estate investment.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in our Interview with Matt and Laura Hawkins

About our Guests

Matt and Laura are serial entrepreneurs who started investing in real estate in 2004 at the age of 19. They own a thriving construction company in Stouffville called Hawkins Contracting and are addicted to real estate. Their real estate portfolio currently contains a mix of student rentals in Guelph and Peterborough and duplexes and triplexes in Lindsay, Peterborough and Hamilton. They love digging into the numbers, are skilled in managing large renovations and like most busy investors, are constantly searching for the highest and best use of their time. Recently, they have settled into a pattern of purchasing tired bungalows for duplex/triplex conversions, sometimes with garage conversions to garden suites and larger student rentals. They are about to get started on two newly built garden suites in Peterborough and have multiple projects on the go and are always on the look for their next deal. Matt and Laura self-manage almost all of their properties (with the help of some key contacts!) and love to connect with other investors and talk all things real estate. Matt and Laura have 3 young kids, who love to stay active and be outdoors and mountain bike at any chance they can get!
