About Patrick Desjardins
I've always had a passion for investing and making money in creative ways. When I was in college I used a large chunk of my scholarship money to invest in biotech stocks and options and I doubled my money, a gain of approximately $16,000 at the time. It was great BUT it was somewhat risky and I hated the lack of control - you're not the CEO of the company, who gets paid millions regardless if the stock goes up or down! So I started looking into other investments.
Once I moved to the US from Canada, I couldn't work until I had a green card so I had a whole lot of time on my hands. I read a lot about real estate investing so I decided to jump in and do it. These days I'm investing in a lot of different things such as real estate, stocks, mortgage notes and collectibles.
