“We have our in-house construction company, our in house property management company, snow removal, grass cutting, you name it, it’s all under one roof, essentially giving that potential joint venture partner or client the ‘Costo effect.’” — Adrian Pannozzo

When Adrian Pannozzo had spent 15 years working on the police force, he decided to start investing in real estate. At first, this venture was intended to be his retirement plan, but it has turned into so much more than that! He bought his first property 11 years ago (a fully renovated triplex in Hamilton), and now his company, Executive Properties Capital, owns 70 homes and 350 units! The vision that Adrian for Executive Properties Capital was to create the real estate version of “The Costco Effect” and in today’s episode you’ll hear how he has brought that goal to life. We also discuss what Adrian’s journey in the real estate investment space has looked like to date, including the challenges that he has faced, and the exciting future that lies ahead.
