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

Growing a Real Estate portfolio in Ontario and Alberta
The big differences between North America and Europe
The most important action step you can take
and much much more…

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.
