Intro from Ontario, Canada
Hello everyone,
My name is Brad Anderson just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully gain some more knowledge on investing in real estate so here's a little more about myself.
I am currently 21 years old and have had an interest in real estate since I was a kid. I have lived in 12 houses and 2 countries (Born in Scotland lived there till I was 12) and through that I have had a natural interest in how it works and it really sparked my interest in the financial side of things.
I got into investing when I was 18 where I started trading FOREX and still do that (getting slowly better). That's where I found my passion for investing.
I went to post secondary school for 2 1/2 years but dropped out after looking at jobs and realizing it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
After watching many documentaries and reading a lot I decided I wanted to get into investing for a living and I love real estate also I figured it would be smart to combine the 2.
I am really eager to learn from the more experienced and looking forward to making some connections.
I have attended a Scott Mcgillivray seminar and would really like to get more info on how exactly you can refinance your current home and use its equity to purchase another.
Lastly I have been pre-approved for a mortgage of 250,000 CAD and looking to get into the student rental market in the Guelph and Kitchener/Waterloo area's but open to other ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Brad Anderson
