Newbie from Truro Nova Scotia

[Robert Poirier]

Hello

I am new to Real Rstate Investment and the Bigger Pockets Community. I live in Truro, Nova Scotia Canada. I am a Project Manager by profession and father to two boys. My oldest son has Autism and I am looking to build a portfolio which will offer him passive income (as employment rates for people with Autism are very poor) but also create a secondary income stream and source of retirement income for my wife and I.

I have an interest in rental properties (single family and multi unit) as well as flipping. I hope to purchase my first rental property in 2019.

Hello Robert,

Welcome to BP!! I am from Truro, NS as well. :)

We have a few members here and we started a meetup every month. By far we had three meetups. Our next one is on January 6, 2019. It is very casual and we pretty much just talk about everything, motivate each other and pick each others brains. (We were thinking of setting a specific agenda per meetup, but there's so much to talk about in real estate so we just go with the flow of the discussion) So yes, you should come! *I dont think we have set a time yet, but I can update you* ;)
