Vacation rental property friends! I'm looking to get my 1st door as a vacation condo to make into a short-term rental at Big White Ski Resort near Kelowna, BC. 

I'd love some advice to watch out for or will help me be successful in my deal. Thanks in advance! 

Very clean website! I just lived 1.5 hours West of Ottawa where they had snowmobile trails for days! Feedback:

-I don't like how I had to create an account to enter. Users like to play around with a website to first gain its trust before giving their email. 

-Also, I don't like the lime green trail lines. 

Use trailforks.com as a good reference point. They do mountain biking trails all over the world. 

I have so much respect for young entrepreneurs, you got this!

Hello, I'm looking to invest a vacant property in Big White near Kelowna, BC, Canada that is .10 acres. Ideally I want to build a duplex style Chalet. 

What restrictions will I be faced with and should consider with the property?

Also, if you know contractors that I can connect with to know how much it would cost to build and the style I should build.

I haven't bought my first property yet and appreciate any advice that anyone can offer. 

 Thanks for making me feel welcome George!

Thanks for the input Robert. I'll re-evaluate my strategy moving forward. Until I arrive in the area I don't feel I'll have a great grasp of the market down there and exactly where I'd look to invest. 

This has been a great start for me and I very much appreciate it! 

 Thanks for the input Jay. It's definitely an adventure lovers paradise! 

Christina - thanks for welcoming me!

Robert - Yes. I understand the the average price of real estate over there is over $650,000. I'm willing to buy outside the city. If it's unrealistic to have this goal, I'd love some input to get a bare bones starter single family home. 

Hello Bigger Pockets Community! My name is Eric Allan Wilson, I'm 26 and moving to Kelowna, BC, Canada at the start of December working for Big White Mountain Resort this year and intend of living there for a few years. I've become obsessed with the idea of using real estate to achieve financial freedom and to fuel my adventure travel lifestyle. 

I currently have ZERO experience. My plan is to build my network over there which includes a  Investor Realtor, Mortgage agent, property manager and contractor.  My experience is in the tourism industry that I'd like to develop in BC. 

My first investment property I'd like a Single-Family home where $300K I'm confident I'll be able to qualify for.  

Fingers crossed that this is the path to financial freedom. I look forward to being apart of such a strong community!
