Newbie Worries and concerns
Greetings BP family. I am a 28 year old recent Canadian permanent resident living in Moncton. I have been reading the BP books and a few others and I believe I am ready to start my REI journey. I have two areas I would like to go( wholesaling or house hacking with the BRRRR method) however I am someone that learns faster by seeing and talking about the minutia of process. Also given my financial situation, would it make since to go to the banks and get a traditional loan or a hard money lender.
If anyone has some good advice or knows of anyone I can network with would be great. Thank you!
