New Member Vancouver Canada

[Matt Bouwman]

Hello BiggerPockets members,

My name is Matt Bouwman and I am obviously new to the biggerpockets forum.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all the members here in hopes of gaining lasting partnerships and friendships with the people here.

I am a 30 year old husband and father who lives in the insane area (real estate wise) of Vancouver BC Canada. I consider myself lucky as I have a very good job as a Superintendent for a high rise residential builder in the Vancouver area. I can remember as a young adult all I wanted to accomplish in life was to have a job I loved that made me six figures a year. I know, I know that seems like allot to ask for but I find myself after hard work and a little bit of luck I am at a place in my life where I can say I have accomplished that. My predicament comes from the situation of living in one of if not the most overpriced real estate markets in the world right now.

My goal in joining this forum and building relationships with the people on this site is to navigate this difficult real estate market in order to advance my financial situation to better the life of my family.

I understand allot to starting in this game is taking action and not sitting back on the fence but I find myself in an area that doesn't allow for an ideal return on equity as far as real estate investing for flipping/renting for positive cashflow.

I look forward to having productive conversations with the fine people here on biggerpockets forum in hopes of helping other people succeed while succeeding myself in the ever changing world of real estate.

Cheers,

Matt Bouwman
