Mark Baltazar started in real estate investing around 5 years ago after spending a couple of years researching and procrastinating and is the founder of Peak Property Investments, a company designed to help real estate investors building wealth through passive real estate investing in multi-family commercial assets and single-family properties through partnerships and coaching.

Winner of the Real Estate Investment Network’s Top Player Award in 2017, Mark continues to build strong momentum in growing his real estate portfolio.  Investing in the GTA and surrounding areas, Mark has developed a proven system to identify strong investment opportunities and take the necessary actions to acquire and grow the value of these assets for his investor partners’ portfolio and his own.  

With 22 doors in his buy & hold portfolio and over 20 flips successfully completed over the last 4 years in key Ontario growth markets, Mark currently leads a team of professionals in the acquisition of multi-family commercial properties to fuel long-term wealth, while continuing to operate a buy-fix-sell (flip) division that generates active income.  In each asset class, Mark works with time-starved investors to help them take action and get past the hurdles that many faces along the path to financial freedom.   

Mark`s business interests also include ownership of a Toronto-based marketing research firm that services some of North America’s leading consumer brands.
