He began in finance in the early 1980s, moved into entrepreneurship in 1985, and purchased his first rental property in the late 1980s—only to sell it at a loss during the 1989 crash. In the early 2000s, he converted a single-family home in Toronto’s Annex into a multi-unit and sold it at a profit. In 2009, a severe hip injury led to multiple surgeries and years of recovery. During that period, he requalified in finance and joined RBC Dominion Securities in 2013, where he remains today. Greg was finally able to re-enter real estate in 2024 and 2025, purchasing a duplex in Oshawa and converting two Brantford single-family homes into a duplex and a triplex. Now in his mid-60s, he is back on track—grounded by hard-earned experience and perspective.
