0 experience and wants to get into Real Estate in Canada
Hello everyone, I am a 32-year-old normal guy who works at a full-time job as a graphic designer and I want to get into real
estate. The main reason for this is I want to be financially independent. To be specific, I want to learn how to invest in rental properties as I
think it is the only type of real estate that will work for me given my financial situation. I am an immigrant here in Canada and support my
parents back home but I am frugal and try to save crazy to be able to invest. I am totally no idea about the real estate market here.
I read some books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Richest Man in Babylon, and I'm currently reading Brandon Turner's The Book on Rental Property
investing. Right now I am trying to find and reach out to real estate agents and investors so I can learn from them. One guy replied and I said I can work for him or if I can be of value to him, and told him I want to learn what he does. He said that we'll stay connected.
I will gladly accept any advice I can get from people here as I know a lot here have a lot of success in this field and getting bigger. Thank you in advance!

@Ernesto Miguel Credito welcome to BP! Lots of books and podcasts will tell you that if you want help, add value to the person that you are asking for help from. Having just read "Who Not How", which was featured in 2 back-to-back BP podcasts recently, I am completely open to connecting with any new investors to see how we can add value to each other. Send me a DM and I would be happy to learn more about your goals and strategies and see where that takes us. Looking forward to the chat!
