After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, other books from Robert Kiyosaki as well as several other real estate investing books, I feel I am ready to take the next step.I currently own a condo in downtown Toronto which I had purchased 3 years ago.

Often though, this will occur on leather shoes, belts, and even dark colored clothing because of poor (or no) air movement in the closet.

The discount on price is poor, so I'd really want solid cash flow.

I recommend Phoenix as a safe bet for real estate since it is one of the fastest growing cities here in the US and doesn't have as much red tape as in California.Good luck!

I'm still living kinda poorly, trying to keep all my money available for investing.

I think my best bet would probably be to go after agents with smaller brokers, but I don't want to limit myself to just those individuals if I don't have to.Do any of you have any experience or insight on pursuing this?

@Marshall Ryan  if you're looking for a specific lender you will need to post in the Marketplace.Hard money is your best bet. 

We have many popular posters that give good, poor and even bad advice, a few have very good points and a few can get you in trouble.

If I decide to teach a class on buying non performing notes, I bet I would have a full house of new comers everyday, and all would be willing to drop $3000 each to hear me speak about notes and teach them things that they never heard before on how the note business will make them money...Joe Gore

I have read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, which a lot of people tend to start out with.
