Hey everyone!

My name is Cristian and I live in Montreal, Canada where we currently have awesome -20C weather (I think that's like -4F)

So a little about me - I started being interested in real estate investing after reading the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book which resulted in me going to one of their free seminars that resulted in going to the paid 3 day weekend that then resulted in taking their advanced training which I recently got refunded because I wasn't satisfied at all

I then learned about a new program with ************* which I am currently following and seems ok for now

My main issue is that I am full of a lot of book knowledge but close to zero real world experience short of calling a few agents, home owners and so on.

I was let go from my job on October 10th because of budget cuts and have decided to go full time investor since then

I am ready to do whatever it takes to make this work because my mindset is already changed and going back to a job is now my ultimate last resort that barely has a shred of interest tied to it

My immediate goal is to buy myself more time - I am ultimately looking to replace my ex job income by the end of 2014 and then some - but for now I'm simply looking to close a few deals to buy more time financially speaking

That's it for me for now - hope to get a chance to speak to a lot of you and soak up all the information that I can while building some great relationships along the way :D

Cheers
