Where does one start?

[Melody P.]

I have recently started to learn what it is to be wealthy, which I never wanted or cared for... silly me, I dIdn‘t know it meant freedom. I now find myself in a position that requires me to have money coming in from a non-employment source, and I have none. First of all: I need to express my gratitude at learning this lesson early while I’m debt free and young enough to impact my children’s futures. Second: Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to start? I currently only have $30,000 available to start my portfolio. I am located in Nova Scotia, housing can be quite affordable, however, I am on leave from work and unfortunately I cannot return to work as I am caring for my spouse who requires constant care for the forseeable future. I know this makes things so hard. What can I do? How can I buy my first rental? Where do I start? I‘ve been watching Youtube and reading all the books recommended, I am unsure about the strategy I should take. Thank you for any and all advIce.
