Is Bigger pockets helpful if I am in Canada

[Daniel Kasaija]

My name is Daniel, I am from Canada and live in Edmonton, I am interested in becoming a real estate agent and investor currently educating myself on the whole field and reading the Beginners guide. I talked to some friends and they told me that the Bigger pockets website and forum is only helpful if I live in  the states I dont know how true this is. Any advice would be appreciated. Please and thank you.

Daniel, I would say I’m an advocate for Bigger Pockets and I live in Canada. The fundamentals of real estate are the same regardless of which side of the border you’re on, and there is definitely an endless amount to learn. I would say take as much information as you can (especially since they don’t really charge you to learn) and apply it. My word of caution is to recognize that sometimes the terminology and processes are different (but that could also be said in between states and provinces anyway so it’s not really a country issue). 

Just verify what you believe with your local network of professionals and colleagues and you’ll learn the difference pretty quickly. 

There’s a lot of Canadians and Americans who are well versed in both countries that can also answer your questions
