New Wanna-be Investor In Alberta

[Stephen Darker]

Hey Guys,

I am new to the whole concept of real estate investing but the whole market of real estate really intrigues me. I want to start building long term wealth through real estate. I don't know about you guys but I have NO idea where to start. Currently I am 24 years old and have only been at my job for 4 months but it is considered a "self employed" position so I can't even qualify for a mortgage to get going on investing for another 2 1/2 years. I really want to start right away if anyone has any ideas that might help in Canada. I live in Calgary Alberta where the average cost of a single family home is $400,000.00 which is a frightening thought for a 24 year old kid.  Any advice or guidelines would be greatly appreciated.
