Laura and Matt Hawkins – Matt started in real estate in 2003 when he was just 19 with a short term cottage rental where he partnered with his parents. Shortly after, Matt and Laura moved on to buying and renovating student rentals in Guelph. Using a very slow version of BRRRR and leveraging their principal residence HELOC they continued to grow their portfolio while finishing post secondary, starting and growing their careers, getting married and having 3 beautiful kids. Recently they transitioned from student rentals to multi family and completed their first duplex conversion in Lindsay Ontario and are currently working on a major renovation to a huge century home Triplex in Peterborough. Matt and Laura are serial entrepreneurs and own a civil landscape construction company in Stouffville and a small HR consulting business. They currently self manage their portfolio and have plans to get into larger multifamily and development deals in the near future.Get in touch with Laura and Matt Hawkins
