Building Wealth with Purpose
Rob helps people build wealth through multifamily real estate. After years in construction and running his own business, he saw how hard it was to create real, lasting income by just trading time for money. He knows the stress of working long hours, dealing with risk, and trying to provide for a family. That’s why he shifted into investing in undervalued multifamily properties—buying, fixing, and holding them for long-term cash flow.
His goal is simple: create stability, build generational wealth, and give others the chance to do the same.
Laying the Foundation
With over a decade of hands-on experience in construction and project management, Rob built his career from the ground up - literally. He got his start as a teenager swinging a hammer on his father’s framing crew, learning the value of hard work and attention to detail.
Over the years, that foundation turned into co-owning a thriving construction business, where he managed everything from custom builds to large-scale renovations. Those experiences gave him a deep understanding of how homes are built, and the confidence to take the leap into real estate investing, where he now applies the same dedication and craftsmanship to creating long-term value.
Expanding the Portfolio
Today, Rob’s mission is simple: create scalable, sustainable multifamily investments that deliver strong returns for investors while adding real value to communities. As the founder of DelftRise Investments, he currently manages 17 doors, and he’s always on the lookout for the next opportunity. His focus is on multifamily properties, where more doors under one roof means greater efficiency, stronger cash flow, and long-term stability.
Rob’s “unfair advantage” lies in his ability to identify undervalued properties, see their untapped potential, and execute renovations that force appreciation and generate consistent returns. Investing primarily in Southern Alberta, he’s drawn to the region’s fiscal responsibility, landlord-friendly laws, and strong demographic trends. Every project is approached with the same mindset: mitigate risk, maximize potential, and build assets that stand the test of time.
Life Beyond the Deal
Rob VanDelft lives in Langdon, Alberta with his wife Ruby—they’ve been married since 2011 and are proud parents of five children.
Outside of work, Rob stays grounded through his passions for hunting, hiking, and exploring new places. Family time is everything to him, and he he loves making memories with Ruby, the kids, and close friends. His faith plays a big role in his life, shaping his values and inspiring the work he does every day.
These pursuits keep him connected to the outdoors, his community, and the discipline it takes to win, both in life and in investing.
