Since 1988, Dario Lorenzo has invested in over 700 properties -- with no money down or with creative financing. In the last nine years alone, he has bought and sold 83 million dollars worth of real estate, generating a year-over-year return on investment of 29%.

He began investing in Vancouver, BC Canada where he grew up. As his real estate business grew, he expanded to cities such as Toronto, Ont., Guelph, Ont., Fort Worth-Dallas, TX., Oklahoma City, OK., Phoenix, AZ., Prince George, B.C., Williams Lake, B.C., and even Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Dario Lorenzo has a keen eye for profiting from economic downturns. His research methodology includes a six-month "walk-about" in cities he's interested in. On these "walk-abouts" he develops relationships with the city's Chamber of Commerce, city hall, brokers, lawyers, appraisers, realtors and property managers. It is in developing these long-term relationships that allows him to buy and sell properties from afar.

Dario currently lives in West Vancouver, B.C. He runs every day religiously. One hobby of Dario is "tinkering" with things. He loves working on cars and building things with his hands. It gives him a sense of pride and pleasure -- to make something functional.

He also loves to travel. He's known to hang out at airports and jump on a random plane somewhere on Friday and come home Sunday.
