Real Estate Investor, Entrepreneur, Crypto Enthusiast, Runner
Founder of InvestInStudentRentals.com Gillian Irving likes to say she was an “accidental investor”, when buying a duplex in downtown Toronto in 2009 with little knowledge and absolutely no long-term plan. Although market timing was on her side to refinance and keep growing, she knew she couldn’t keep relying on a “hope & pray” strategy if she wanted to leave her job and provide long-term financial security for her disabled son and three other children. So, Gillian became a serious student of real estate investing and, combined with her skills as a former market research analyst, she established a portfolio of student rental properties across Southern Ontario. Because student rentals weren’t exciting enough for Gillian, she also opened a 30,000 square foot Sky Zone Trampoline Park in 2015 to really keep her on her toes! With good luck on her side, she sold the business just before the pandemic hit. Today she spends her days searching for her next real estate deal, researching cryptocurrencies and helping other real estate investors achieve their goals through her online course, coaching and JV partnerships.
