Hey there fellow Ottawa investor!

just a quick stop in to say hi. I am also a long time listener/watcher who finally got into the game just over a year ago. 
I bought a under performing duplex that needed work. Purchased for $60k under ask, lived in it while I renovated and increased monthly rents from $1650 to $3300. I wish I could refinance but I don’t want to give up my 1.9% rate lol. 

Looks like you are looking to get in at the right time. Rates might be high but I think starting this winter, deals will be much easier to get. Have you been analyzing any deals in the area yet?

HI! That sounds like a great deal - hard to give away that interest rate for sure! I'm curious in which area of the city you purchased. I'm analyzing deals (from MLS) but am finding it hard to find anything that cash flows. Also I would like to rehab to increase the value, but finding it hard to estimate timelines since it's so hard to find contractors/you never know when stuff is in back order. Would you mind if I sent you a PM? I'm curious to hear more about your experience in the Ottawa market/with your rahab. 

Late to the party but wanted to say congrats! Great story. Did you close on the property already? How's it going?

Hi! 

I wanted to introduce myself and hopefully connect with others with the same goals in my area. 

I'm a lawyer from Ottawa hoping to invest in BRRRR multi families in ON, QC and/or NB. I'm also a former travel agent very interested in vacation rentals in Canada and abroad. I speak fluent French, English and Spanish and would like to put that to good use investing in central and South America one day.

My goal is to eventually scale back my legal practice and supplement my income with REI. With the ultimate goal to be financially independent and work because I want to, not because I have to, and only on what matters most to me. (Isn't that the dream?)

I've spent the greater part of my last year of maternity leave reading loads of RE books, listening to podcasts and reading blogs (at the same time as successfully keeping three small humans alive which is no small feat). 

Despite all that reading and listening and acquiring so much knoledge in a field that was brand new to me, I have yet to actually connect with other investors and that's my next step. 

So if you're investing in these markets, please say hi! I'd love to connect. And if you have any suggestions on meet-ups (including how to get over my fear of actually meeting real PEOPLE, in PERSON at said meet ups 🙃) please drop them below.

Happy investing!

 Welcome Genevieve 

You will find great info and people willing to help on here. I just kicked off my journey from Canada with a purchase in the USA. It wouldn't have been possible without this site. You are in the right place. 

Thank you very much! Congrats on your first US purchase.
