Ditching the Corporate Life to Live on Your Terms
Manage episode 489850290 series 2791296

We talk about how she navigated over-leveraging, burnout, and the pressure to do “what everyone else is doing,” and instead focused on building a business that supports her long-term vision, including spending part of the year living in Spain.
What You’ll Learn:
- How Amy bought her first home at 19 and continued building after moving to Canada
- What she learned from scaling too fast and the cost of over-leveraging
- The importance of defining your own success, especially when leaving corporate
- How BRRRRs, conversions, flips, and even Airbnb shaped her investment strategy
- Why property management experience changed her perspective as an owner
- What lifestyle-aligned investing looks like and how it’s fueling her plan to live part-time in Spain
- The realities of working with your partner and building businesses together
- How she’s helping other investors by sharing what really works (and what doesn’t)
Amy Brooke is a CPA and real estate investor who began her journey at 19 in the UK and has since built a thriving multifamily portfolio across Ontario with her husband, Nigel. Together, they’ve explored a wide range of investment strategies from BRRRRs and flips to short-term rentals, industrial conversions, and ground-up development. After leaving behind her corporate finance career, Amy leaned fully into real estate and entrepreneurship, co-founding a growing property management company and building a business that aligns with her lifestyle.
