What are some of the most useful skills to learn as someone who wants to have plenty of rental property? I have some free time and am eager to learn skills that will benefit me down the line.

Hi guys, my name is Coban Scott, I have 1 and a half years left in University to get my undergraduate degree, but I really have passion for real estate and want to start working in the industry right after I graduate and even this summer before my last year. Can you guys give me some tips on how to begin working with certain companies or which positions I should pursue to really jumpstart my career out of university. I was thinking some property development companies and stuff like that but they would most likely want someone with experience. I am set on real estate investing and owning my own investing business, but I need capital to begin, what do you get recommend as someone who is willing to hustle and work extremely hard to gain experience and work for very little money to learn the game. Which companies or how would you guys go about this situation.

Does anybody have an idea on the best places in Canada for a new real estate investor to start out? I have heard Calgary is a good place because of prices but does anybody have any insight on where you can get the best deals?

I'm open to opportunities outside of Toronto as well forsake, it's just I really went to get some experience because I know experience is the best teacher. It just can't be to far away because I need to be in decently close proximity for my first rental.
