Newbie from Manitoba!
Hi there! My name is Kevin Drysdale and I'm from a small city west of Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have been interested in real estate investing since I was about 16 years old, and now that I'm in my 30's I'm FINALLY working towards something. I know...why wait so long? Well...I didn't educate myself soon enough and always thought it to be too big of a dream for me to have now. I have lived pay check to pay check for way too long and have finally got to a place where I have some money that I can put away for investing. I purchased my own home (an estate sale) about 10 years ago. We are just finishing renovating our kitchen/dining room and I can't wait to see what that will do to the value of our house. I'm really hoping I will have some equity to work with! In any event...I have found this website and will include it's resources in my education. My goal is multifamily units but I am thinking I may need to do one or two single family buy and holds to generate the capital/leverage to step up into that market. I learn fast, am not afraid to try things, and am eager to get things started.
