Why I'm entering
real estate
The short version: I build digital systems for a living. I've watched compounding work in technology — codebases that get more valuable as they grow, audiences that build on themselves, products that get stickier at scale. Real estate is the oldest version of that idea.
The longer version is that I'm 26, I've had a good run as a freelancer and consultant, and I've been diligent about saving — but I have nothing that generates income when I'm not working. That needs to change. Not out of fear, but out of design.
I chose to document this publicly because I couldn't find many accounts from people in BC's Interior market who were actually learning — not the retrospective success story, but the real-time process, licence exam prep and all.
