Our Mission
To help investors leverage the power of real estate. Passively.
The Story
Ever since he can remember Ryan has been surrounded by successful real estate investors. Uncles, cousins, and his extremely hard working grandfather all had their lives substantially improved by investing in real estate. So while he was attending the University of Alberta for a degree in Mechanical Engineering he knew it wouldn't be long before he'd buy his first rental property. So what happened? Only three months after graduating, Ryan was now not only an engineer, but a landlord as well.
After five years of working as a Project Manager for a high pressure natural gas transmission utility he decided it was time to chase a dream. He quit his job and hopped on a plane. Travelling from Mexico City, to Madrid, to Bangkok and almost everywhere in between over the next two years left him smiling ear to ear; but it wasn't enough. There was still something missing.
"Ryan, when will you realize? When people meet you, they know two things about you. You love squash, and LIVE for real estate. Just do it already!"
So then that happened. A close friend broke it down to him in a very blunt manner. That day a seed was planted and within a few months it blossomed into Passivity Capital.
So what is Passivity Capital? It is an answer to all those hard working people wishing they had more time and energy to invest in real estate. People who have a vocation they love and excel at but one which will never lead them to true financial wealth by itself. With this in mind, Passivity Capital was built with the mission of helping investors leverage the power of real estate. Passively.

Real estate has been a passion of mine since I can remember. I always knew I would end up helping others obtain the freedoms real estate provides while building a portfolio of my own.
