Where Should I Invest? Real Estate Investing in Canada


Real Estate Adventures From the Philippines to Nunavut

August 22, 2025

In this episode of Where Should I Invest, Sarah and Kelly sat down with Fritz Vilegas, a registered nurse, twin mom, and real estate investor whose story is rooted in resilience, purpose, and community.

Originally from the Philippines, Fritz immigrated to Canada, worked multiple jobs to save her first down payment, and began a real estate journey that has grown across Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Alberta.

Fritz’s path wasn’t easy especially during the pandemic when burnout led her to reevaluate everything. But with determination, education, and support from her wife and mentors, she’s built a portfolio that supports her values and her vision for the future.

Today, she’s not just investing, she’s showing others how to do it too.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How Fritz started investing while working three jobs and helping her parents buy their first home
  • Why burnout during the pandemic became a turning point in her investment strategy
  • The mindset shifts required to invest remotely from Nunavut across multiple provinces
  • How she transitioned from single-family homes to multifamily and joint venture deals
  • Why helping other nurses invest in real estate became part of her mission
  • The importance of mentorship, education, and community in growing your portfolio

Fritz Vilegas is a full-time registered nurse, mother of twins, and real estate investor based in Nunavut, Canada. Since buying her first property in 2018 to support her family, she has built a portfolio spanning three provinces, with a focus on multifamily properties and JV partnerships. Today, she empowers other nurses and busy professionals to build wealth through real estate so they can reclaim their time and create lives of purpose, freedom, and balance on their own terms.Listen now at www.sarahlarbi.com/podcast-home
