From 5 to 450 Doors: The Real Estate Play That Could Fund Your Future w. Mark Silenzi & Nicholas Pasquale
What if you could turn a $165K investment into over $900K—and never have to manage a single tenant? Imagine earning six figures of passive income from real estate—without being a landlord, without swinging a hammer, renovating anything, or chasing deal after deal.
🎙️ In this episode of the Sold Right Away Podcast, we sit down with Mark Silenzi and Nicholas Pasquale to unpack their journey from assembling five parcels of land on Rymal Road in Hamilton to building a 450-unit purpose-built rental development. This is not just another condo flip or risky pre-construction buy. This is a scalable, hands-off, long-term wealth-building strategy backed by CMHC financing, conservative underwriting, and a rock-solid development partner, Drew Toth of Elevate Living. A purpose-built apartment development that will help everyday investors build generational wealth—while staying completely hands-off.
💡 Inside the episode:
✔️ Why they chose purpose-built rentals over condos
✔️ How they’re leveraging $12.5M into a $160M project
✔️ The projected monthly cash flow and long-term refinance profits
✔️ Why this is the “REIT-level” opportunity for everyday investors
✔️ How CMHC-backed financing creates massive leverage
✔️ The ripple effect: jobs, generational wealth, community and overall impact
