Canadian New to Real Estate investing .
Hey Guys and Gals,
My name is Tommy Stewart , im 28 years old live in Kitchener , Ontario , Canada and I weld natural gas pipelines for a living . Through reading a few of Robert Kiyosaki's books I've had a huge interest in real estate , work has been crazy busy for the last couple of years and im lucky enough to have the problem of needing somewhere to put my money !
I've been approved by my main bank (TD Canada trust ) for 300K with a 25% down payment , so the hunt has started . Im looking to buy my first property in Moncton , NB since my research makes it seem like an up and coming town with lots of work coming in through the call center and service industries . Rents are respectable and property prices are in the perfect range for my newbie self.
Anyways i just wanted to introduce myself to the community and learn lots from all of you pros out there . Would love to hear of any advice or recommendations for a newbie getting started .
Thanks!

@Tommy Stewart hi Tommy great to see you on the site. I'm in the industry as well and have been encouraging people to diversify, especially into the love of REI.
We are looking to expand our portfolio into Moncton and I have a pseudo team set up as well. I will send you a DM to discuss. Also, @Trevor Gaal would be a very helpful contact for you.
Talk soon,
Ryan and Cynthia
