My name is Edwin and I have no background in real estate. I am a 5th term electrical apprentice, I started (as an apprentice) in residential re-wiring knob and tube for a year, moving onto renovating homes and now I primarily work in commercial buildings. If interested I have a linked in account which I don't know if it counts as soliciting if I were to post here. Would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me if it's ok to post that - it just shows the sort of work I've done in the past.

I've wanted to be a landlord for a few years now, don't recall where the original thought came from but it wasn't until a few months ago when I clicked on a guru seminar ad on facebook, that I decided to do some research on getting into real estate. Now I understand that this isn't a get rich quick scheme and I certainly plan to invest in real estate for the long term.

So I went to the seminar and I was really hyped about RE afterwards and I bought the program - but I had to really convince my SO that it would be worth the $500 I paid...after a bit of googling I came upon BP.

I read a bunch of stuff on the front page, thought the Ultimate Beginner's Guide was awesome (I'm half way through and taking some notes), I'm listening to the podcasts (Just listened to #10 it told me to introduce myself and here I am).

My goal in real estate is to supplement my income and eventually (in about 15 years) replace my day job - I love what I do but I do not want to be hurting like the old-timers I work with now.

I was really fixed on buying and renting single family homes but after reading the beginner's guide, I will be focusing on single families as well as multi-family properties.

Thanks everyone for taking time out of your schedule to read my introduction and I look forward to any and all replies!
