Yasser Majd is the co-owner and operator of 555 Construction Management Inc., a company that specializes in construction management projects including retrofit and infill, such as basement and detached SDUs, residential conversions, and multi-units.

We’re looking to help and service newer investors in the 3 + prong approach. Gone are the days and the plays of 2 units and BRRR. Time to “pivot” To be cashflow, utilize the latest zoning changes and bylaws to create 3 + units in a residence and add a converted garage space to a garden suite. This is the new cash flow and appreciation play if large multi-units are out of your range!
