Canadian Newbie!! Looking for any and all help and conversation!!

[Shaun Anderson]

Hi, I am brand new to the game, have been learning for a couple years and am just about ready to dive head first into the game. I am Shaun Anderson and I am in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada!! (It's easier to draw then to spell, haha)

I welcome any conversation as I am still learning and looking for info and contacts of all kind.

My core belief is that every aspect of this business is building relationships, whether it be a realtor, bank, property manager, power team or even contractors and appraisers!! My philosophy is that the more you get to know any of these people on a more personal basis, the more willing they are to help you!!

I am learning all about private money and all other kinds of lenders as I am wanting to use 0% of my own money!! This may spark debate among some but I am finding there are ways to do it and I am having some luck already!!

Welcome any comments regarding the funding stuff!

I am currently looking at residential multi-family properties in the Columbus, Ohio area so if anyone has any experience with investing there, has good referrals for anything or just wants to chat about a common area please feel free to message me any time!!

I look forward to making many new connections and friends here and helping others as much a possible as I learn!!

Best of luck to everyone, let's all prosper!!
