Hello everyone! My name is Nicholas, I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. i am a 34 year old family man, with my girlfriend( who I want to make my wife one day) and 2 young children(4 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl). I have known real estate is one of the most proven ways to financial freedom for many years now. But, I did not know how to get into it or know anyone who did it. Now that I have found this amazing community of knowledgeable and experienced investors, I see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm looking to connect with people and learn as much as I can so i can start my investing journey and help others start or further their journey. Looking forward to connecting with you all!!!
Best way to get into real estate is by starting to put money aside to invest. Lots of money.
There are no real short cuts. Canadian real estate and financial instructions do not operate like they do in the estates. Definatly not the wild west up here. Much more highly regulated.
Start by logging onto the RTA and LTB web sites to learn about tenant/landlord rights. We operate in a very highly pro tenant market and it is only getting worse.
Thank you for your replies Adam Narbon and Thomas S. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Adam, I will give you a shout with any questions I have, thank you. Thomas, I will look into the organizations you told me to look uu, but could break down the acronyms RTA and LTB for me please?
Thank you for the explanation Luc! i appreciate it. It's funny you respond, because I just finished listening to part 2 of your interview on Sara Larbi's podcast(Where should I invest?) from last year. You were great by the way!
Hi Nicholas! Congrats on discovering the power of investment real estate and the amazing resources at Bigger Pockets!
That's cool that you listen to Sarah Laarbi's podcast - I was on Episode #12. :)
I recommend connecting with the guys at Rock Star Real Estate in Oakville. Excellent local info & network. Makes a lot of sense to invest in areas outside Toronto...Oshawa, Hamilton, KWC etc.
Best of luck!
