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!
