New investor from Montreal looking to learn and grow

[Elie Skaf]

Hello everyone, 

my name is Elie and am newly subscribed to BP but have been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks now. I am also a fairly new investor, having acquired our (my wife and I) first rental property less than 6 months ago. We also own a single family home but I would barely call that an investment since our goal was to flip it but have been living in it since 2011. Instead of flipping it, we rehabed it according to our taste and have since fallen in love with it. We now know exactly what not to do when looking to flip and sell :p 

I have joined this community to learn more about RE investing. Even though I have been educating myself since 2009 by reading books and blogs, watching webinars and tv shows, listening to podcasts and having hands on experience in the RE world (I co-own a reno company and am a mortgage loan officer (as well as a personal finances advisor)), I believe that we should never stop learning and sharpening our skills. 

Thank you all, and I hope to chat with as many interesting people in this community as possible !!
