Jason Ridout
Don't Wait to Buy Real Estate. Buy Real Estate and Wait.
Jason brings a different approach to helping clients with buying and selling their homes. As a real estate investor of over ten years, Jason understands that a house can be a home, but it’s also one of the most expensive investments you can make. In order to make sure your investment is a good one, he knows it's of utmost importance to understand demographics, local economy, causes of market fluctuations, and a host of other external influences on housing prices.
Jason also has a healthy amount of knowledge about construction, rehab, and renovations. He's done everything from simple flooring and paint renovations, to full gut rehabilitations. With this knowledge, he's developed an eye for seeing possibilities in houses that others miss. Moving a wall, or adding a bathroom might be easier than you think, and could turn a property into a more functional and valuable asset.
Jason wanted to become a Realtor because he knows, when you’re passionate about something, you do your best work. Renovations, knowing markets and finding great deals are the things that he’s passionate about. Why not use his passion and knowledge to help you find a home?
Real Estate as an investment
Investment Properties
People looking to use real estate as a means to grow their net worth or generate cashflow know that the criteria for an investment property isn’t the same as the criteria used to buy a home. CAP rates, ROI rates, and latent values are the important details that investors need to know. This is where Jason specializes.
Jason knows that in order to generate great returns, it requires a lot of due diligence. After extensive real estate investing education, Jason was confident that he knew enough to protect his capital and pulled the trigger on several investment properties throughout BC. Deciding that he had chosen the right path and happy with his investments, Jason decided to further his education and leverage even more access to information and networks, and became a Realtor®
Now, as a Realtor®, head organizer of the Nanaimo Real Estate Investment Group, and author of "The Basic Guide to Real Estate Investing" Jason enjoys sharing his passion, and educating people about real estate investing. Real estate has an infinite amount of opportunities, and by continuing to educate himself, networking, and pooling ideas and capital, Jason hopes to help others capitalize on opportunities and find investments that work best for them.
