WiLL from London, Ontario Canada
Hey you all, a little background on myself before I start posting all the questions that I have accumulated over the last couple of months reading the forum.
-I have recently settled down in London, Ontario. Prior to this I was living in Montreal, Quebec and before that I was living in Toronto.
-I have purchased a condo in 2002 for my own residence. The condo market was just leveling off at the time in Toronto so after I sold it, the 10K of equity pretty much went to the real estate agent.
-I was educated as an architect, which to this day I have not decided if it will be a help or hindrance to my plans of going into the REI business.
-What prompted me to do more researching the topic as after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", which really shifted the way I think now about work and financial planning.
-It has been really interesting reading blurbs that have been written by all the veterans and I do hope I will one day have things in my head as clear as they have.
-I will be looking to buy a house as soon as I get married in two weeks. After reading up on this forum, I am now thinking about getting a Duplex or a Triplex, live in it and rent out the rest.
Look forward to chatting with you guys.
