Hi everyone, I am a new investor in real estate and I’m looking for meetups in the GTA preferably the west end but I def wouldn’t mind driving.

I have purchased two properties (1b condos) in Toronto. They are stil being built. I’m also looking to connect with other BP members in the Toronto area so please feel free to PM me. 1 on 1 meetups are great too, a mentor would fantastic.

Thanks to anyone taking the time to respond!

thank you @Brandon Turner, I've read the ultimate beginners guide and joined your podcast, it's a bit overwhelming, but I'm slowly making my way through it, I'll be taking a look at the links on real estate bold and the book on investing at a young age. It's perfect for where I am right now. Very much appreciated

Thank you @Nick Watkins, it's good to hear I'm not the only young investor starting out, I'd love to connect with you, to talk more, I'll shoot you a PM or and add you on LinkedIn if that's ok?

Thank you @Paul Timmins I've been hearing very good things about J Scotts book I'll get my hands on it asap. My mother is interested in HUD Homes as you mentioned.(I don't know much about them personally though) could you elaborate? Maybe in a PM if it is too much to post here.

Thank you @Claude Boiron, yes that sounds perfect. I really want to talk to someone local to give me an idea of what investing is like here in Toronto, before I sign up for any clubs. My mother and I are going to discuss some of the different things we'd like to talk about first then we'll give you a call, or we can hit up a timmies and chat over coffee. We are very new at this so sorry if we have a few newbie questions/mistakes. Could we exchange numbers in a PM?

Again thank you everyone for the responses!

Hi everyone! My name is Aaron, I'm from Brampton,Ontario,Canada. I'm a 20 year old newbie looking to start a career in real estate. I just joined the forums and thought I should introduce myself. Me and my mother are planning to start a business in the near future. At the moment we are just trying to get our hands on all the education we can get. We are looking to get into rental properties, as well as rehabbing projects. I'm looking to connect with other young, new members in a the same boat as me, as well as experienced investors who are willing to help out. I always hear "your network is your networth" so on that note I'm planning to build my network as early as I can. So a couple questions to start: Any investors from Toronto GTA area? I'd love to chat about your experiences, as well as get a feel for our market Any investors under 25? I'd love to hear challenges you have faced because of your young age. Any tips on finding a mentor? Some say you should pay for one some don't (I kinda agree with the latter, but if you have positive experiences with coaches if love to hear them) (This question is for the Toronto/GTA investors) Any advice on what REI groups I should join? There's loads of them out there, and they cost money even to just check them out so I'd like to avoid wasted time and money if possible Any advice in general for someone starting out? (With little money, I'm 20 years old after all, working full time though) Sorry if this is a lot for a first post. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated! I know there's a wealth of knowledge on these forums so please share!
