Hello BP,
My name is Ryan Dukelow, I'm a whopping 20 years old and I have been addicted to the of real estate investing ever since the idea crossed my mind. I work as a heavy equipment operator for a sewer and water main company in downtown Toronto, but I have the ambition to do more than just work for someone else every day.
I came to BP because I have been doing a lot of reading recently ( Books, blogs etc.) and I want to further my education. I thought what better way then the chance to talk to people with experience. I have been looking at student rentals, single and multi-family homes and condo rentals, where I can flip or buy and hold. I understand that it is a very big range, but I want to remain open to any niche until I find the right deal.

Hi Ryan, I'm just up in Newmarket and have been investing for 6+ yrs, I own a wide range of properties from single family to multifamily. The links that Brandon posted above are great.. If you want some Canadian Content and info let me know, I would be happy to share it.
I would suggest to keep educating yourself and talk to people that have DONE IT before. There are a lot of strategies. I would get to know some of the them and then choose one and learn everything you can about it before moving onto the next one.
Welcome to Bigger Pockets You will learn a lot from this site even by just reading the daily forum but Gary is right. Immerse yourself with the different references materials Brandon itemized above.

Welcome to BP @Ryan Dukelow ! You are way ahead of most folk when it comes to "figuring it out". Real Estate is such a great way to obtain finiancial freedom, and there is no resource better, in my personal opinion, than the BP community.
