Anthony is a licensed realtor specializing in investment properties and co-founder of the Calgary Real Estate Investor Hub. He grew up in Trois Rivières, Québec and moved to Calgary, Alberta when he was 19. With a degree in Micro-Computers and Networking from Herzing College in Montreal, he began his career in tech but ended up finding a passion for real estate. Anthony’s adventures into real estate began in 2012 when he purchased his first investment property in Calgary. This led to a fascination with real estate investing and he has read countless real estate books and frequently listens to real estate podcasts. Anthony strongly believes in continuously educating himself on new and relevant topics in the field. He now owns 11 units made up of suited properties, duplex and is currently working on a 64 units re-development project.


Santhosh is an investor-focused, licensed realtor and co-founder of the Calgary Real Estate Investor Hub. Originally from Singapore, he moved to Calgary in 2011. He holds an Honours degree in Health Sciences from the University of Calgary, and later decided to pursue a Masters degree specializing in Medical Imaging on a dementia research project although he left his degree near the end to pursue real estate full-time.

His passion in real estate investing started in 2018 after researching ways to grow his income and watching countless YouTube videos at the time. Since then, he has expanded to owning over 10 doors, from DIYing his own renovations in the beginning by watching YouTube videos to now tackling larger multifamily projects with partners.
