Meet Akeem Young

Passionate, dedicated, creative, driven. These are a few words to describe Akeem. Born and raised in Mississauga, ON, by parents who originated from Belize; Akeem grew to value freedom in life. Freedom in all aspects whether it be regarding his spirituality, relationships, health, or finances. While learning to balance these pillars of life as a young adult, he found that travel helped one become more aware of the world and the importance of community and connection. Finding out what you are made of by stepping outside of one's comfort zone, and learning how to communicate with more than just words developed a strong sense of self and courage in Akeem. This only led to increased travelling adventures, and an uprooting of his life to move across Canada to the province of Alberta. The greatest lesson Akeem has found is that "The more you learn, the more you realize you have much more to learn." And the learning continues as the years go on. 
Nowadays, Akeem has immersed himself in entrepreneurship, and real estate investing. This has become another passion for him alongside his growing family, and enthusiasm for cars. He enjoys connecting with people and finding ways to add value to their lives.
​What does the future hold? Aside from continuing to grow his business and real estate portfolios, Akeem will be writing a book. Feel free to ask about its context, and get to know him further.

Entrepreneur

From an early age, Akeem knew he wanted to be a business man. As a young adult, he had the opportunity to experience an introduction to business through various strategies. He got his start with multi-level marketing, and used the skills developed and mindset to grow a delivery business in Mississauga, ON. 
After moving across the country, and serving in the oilfield, Akeem began ventures in real estate, Web-Based Marketing and E-Commerce. He now specializes in identifying opportunities in these spaces, and executing strategies within his own companies and with partners.

Real Estate Investor

Real Estate has always been a topic of interest. The move to Alberta, was originally sponsored by the idea of generating income to support Akeem's real estate investment goals. It began with a house hacking strategy to quickly and efficiently gain access to the market. And as his portfolio developed for long term rentals, Akeem also saw the opportunity to take advantage of the short term rental market. He found that the short term rental market supports the travelling workers' need for accommodations in Northern Alberta. This has allowed Akeem to take advantage of a broader rental market, and balance the long term rental gaps.
Moving forward, he seeks to increase his portfolio with Commercial, Multi-Family, and BRRRR Strategy opportunities; whether being independently funded, or with potential partners.
