New Florida Investor From Ontario
Hello everyone! My name is Richard, I am 22 and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I do not have much experience in investing as it is something I want to learn, however I did grow up in rehab projects which is my experience in real estate up to date. I am starting as a whole-seller in Florida to build equity where I will then move to Rehab projects! My goal in real estate is to become financially free so that I can take care of my family and to build a strong team who wants to make money together and help others in need. (Not in an altruistic sense, but for those who work for the betterment of their lives.) <- An example of what i would like to accomplish in real estate after having enough for my family is to have awards/rewards every year like a free home or free reno for the team members like contractors who work with me. I joined biggerpockets wanting to learn about investing and build relationships, friendships and join fantastic like minded individuals such as yourselves.
Cheers!

Hey @Richard Grenier, welcome to BP!
Question, do you plan to wholesale in Florida while living in Canada? Just curious...
I really like the "why" behind your goals, and wish you great success.
Since you're new to the site, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of BP and kickstart your investing career:
Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other local investors).
Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in.
Check out the webinars, they are very informative, and there’s usually a new one every week.
