Okay, My name is Joshua and as the title says i'm Canadian living on beautiful Vancouver Island, BC. I have been interested in real estate going on five years now, every since i read the classic Rich Dad Poor Dad.  I have a very deep desire to have control over my life and how i spend my time, and I feel that having a job is a direct violation of that creed, and that book hit me like a rampaging moose. 

 Now, my younger brother has long been into investing and has done quite well for himself in this stock market, and we got to talking. he said that if i found the deal he would finance it.  Im not one to suffer form analysis paralysis, and i have always been one to figure it out as I go. I have placed a few offers, but have not had any accepted. Im currently looking at a property to build a fourplex on, and if it goes through, it will be my first deal. Ill have loads of questions that i will be sure to ask, and i will keep the sire updated on my progress. Thanks for reading and hope to see you all on the site!!

P.S. Fun Fact. I may be the only Canadian who doesn't know how to skate

Hi @Tom Stromar 

 I might take you up on that. I have a property in mind, we should see if they match. I will be in Nanaimo next weekend. I will have to drop you a line.

@Dave Visaya Thanks for the welcome! believe me I will jump in head first. I LOVE this type of thing and when i talk real estate with my current friends and what my plans are, I can literally see their eyes glaze over.... not very motivating.. Im glad i found a like minded community!
