Meet Kiril Nikolaev
Canadian real estate investor turning humble beginnings into lasting cash flow.
Based in Pickering, Ontario, I bought my first real estate property in 2016 with more grit than capital. Since then I have owned seven units, managed tenant turnovers, navigated full-gut renovations, and exited flips that unlocked significant equity. My next chapter: scaling Canadian BRRRR experience into resilient U.S. multifamily.
Disciplined Underwriting
CFA charterholder with a modelling-first approach—every deal starts with conservative forecasts and multiple exit paths.
Hands-On Operator
From minor cosmetic lifts to six-figure renovations, I stay close to contractors, permitting, and tenant experience.
Long-Term Relationships
Building genuine partnerships with investors and trades has been my unfair advantage since those early investing days.
Humble beginnings, steady growth.
Each property pushed me to learn a new skill—legal conversions, tenant placement, capital improvements, or disciplined exits. That compounding experience now fuels my expansion into larger BRRRR and small multifamily projects.
2016
First Two-Unit House in Brampton
Converted a tired bungalow into a functional two-unit rental—proof that sweat equity can overcome limited capital.
2017
Expanded into St. Catharines
Scaled to a second two-unit while working full-time, learning tenant management and capital planning on the fly.
2019-2020
Hands-On Flip in Pickering
Renovated our family home to create an in-law suite and modern finish, demonstrating how design upgrades unlock value.
2021-Present
Larger BRRRR Executions
Focused on heavier rehabs like the Oshawa triplex conversion while exploring opportunities in resilient U.S. markets.
