Intro from Ontario, Canada

Brad Anderson

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
