Re-introduction, actions taken, lessons learnt, relationships made
Not exactly a new member introduction; this is a re-introduction. I live in Toronto. BP was my first step towards my investment journey. I got busy taking actions, learning lessons, making relationships and working with mentors the past couple of years. I realized that I miss hanging out with the good folks of BP and came back to do just that. (I've been regularly listening to BP podcasts by David Greene and team, though).
I got inspired by everything BP, joined some mentorships, started buying rental properties, quickly did a pivot to flips, and has since flipped upwards of 20 properties since 2021. Made some money, lost some money, learnt a lot of lessons, made a lot of connections, raised a lot of money - continued to pivot based on market conditions and regions. Most (but not all) of my projects were in Calgary, Canada. Now, buying my first flip property in Cleveland.
I just posted this to thank everyone for inspiring each other. And, to inspire anyone sitting on the sidelines to start taking actions. It is a bit scary on this side, I've had a couple of "near-death" moments but in the end I realized that there is a solution for every challenge. As long as you don't give up and keep exploring problems and solutions, you'll be just fine. Cheers!
