About Me
I came to Canada in 1987 from Cambodia, my parents risked their lives to bring me and my sister to Canada in search of a better life.
Growing up my parents taught me the value of hard work, respect, integrity and to seek opportunities to better myself and to help others. I started working at 14 years old selling flowers outside liquor stores. That was probably one of the best jobs for me to learn about customer service and sales. I went on to work at McDonald’s and continued to work in many different industries, including dry-cleaning, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, legal and government offices. I even worked at a Go-cart track!
My Real Estate Journey
My real estate journey began when I bought my first property at 24 years old. During this time, I knew I did not want to pay rent for someone else’s mortgage when I could purchase my own property and pay myself. With my mom’s help and all my waitressing tips, I was able to buy a semi-detached home built in the 1960s.
In 2010, my fiancé and I decided to pool our money together and buy a house so we can start building our assets. We purchased our first single detached property in Ottawa. In 2013, my husband was laid off and we ended up in a lot of bad consumer debt because we did not plan our finances properly. By chance, we learned about the power of refinancing and used our home equity to pay off all our debts. We decided to use the rest of the equity to start investing and buy more properties. Since then, we have used this refinancing strategy and joint venture partnerships to continue and grow our real estate portfolio. We currently have investment units with joint venture partners in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, and Moncton.
