About Jody

Jody de Clerville, PMP, PSM

Real Estate Investor · Former Senior IT Program & Project Manager · Distressed Asset Specialist

Background

Real Estate Investor | Former Senior IT Program & Project Manager | Distressed Asset Specialist

With more than 25 years of senior Program and Project Management experience across financial services, insurance, telecom, retail, and software, I bring a proven ability to manage complex, timeline‑challenged initiatives with precision, discipline, and decisive leadership. My career has been built on orchestrating large, globally distributed teams, navigating competing priorities, resolving issues quickly, and delivering multimillion‑dollar programs under pressure — skills that translate directly into successful real estate execution. As I transition into full‑time real estate investing, I am leveraging this deep operational background to plan, schedule, and manage redevelopment projects with the same rigor and accountability that defined my corporate career.

My real estate experience spans multiple markets and cycles. Prior to 2010, I completed several successful redevelopment projects in Canada. From 2010–2014, I expanded into the U.S., acquiring and fully redeveloping distressed multi‑family properties (25 doors), transforming run‑down, foreclosed buildings into performing, cash‑flowing assets. During this period, I turned a $187,500 initial investment into a $1.5M+ portfolio generating over $20,000 per month in revenue. From 2014 onward, I concentrated on Canadian properties, completing multiple redevelopment projects and consistently adding significant value through strategic renovations, repositioning, and disciplined project oversight.

Looking ahead, 2026 will be focused on distressed fix‑and‑flip opportunities — a space where my ability to manage risk, pivot quickly, and execute multiple entry and exit strategies provides a strong competitive advantage. In 2027, I plan to scale back into larger multi‑family acquisitions, leveraging both my redevelopment experience and my background managing complex, multi‑stream programs. I am personally capitalized to take on multiple projects simultaneously, and I welcome joint‑venture partnerships to expand deal flow and accelerate growth.

My approach is grounded in transparency, disciplined execution, and a commitment to delivering strong, risk‑adjusted returns. Distressed properties require resilience, adaptability, and strategic clarity — qualities I have honed over decades of managing high‑stakes initiatives. I bring that same focus, professionalism, and reliability to every real estate project I undertake.

Investment Focus

I specialize in acquiring and repositioning distressed multi-family properties across Canada. My strategy centres on the 4 Ways to Win: cash flow, principal recapture, passive appreciation, and active appreciation through forced equity creation.

  • Fix & flip / buy-and-hold repositioning
  • Joint venture & investor partnerships
  • Tax lien acquisitions
  • Refinance & equity recapture strategies
  • Vendor take-back & lease-to-own structures
