Hey @Christopher Boyles Welcome to Van!

It'll probably change my plans or bottom line. I was planning to sell my place in the UK in a few months, so the currency thing is a fair blow. Outside of that, still trying to work out long term effects.

I could potentially wait longer to see if the currency rebounds but opinion seems to be that with less immigration, along with changes so landlords can no longer write off mortgage interest, prices will drop.

There's been some Vancouver BP meets, organized by @Matthew Jarvis  so try and get yourself along if you can!

Good to hear from you guys - definitely agree this place is a great resource!

Yeah, I for sure like the idea of flips to raise capital for long term projects, @Pawan J. - Ideally, I'd love to be part of a flip, so I can learn towards part of a BRRRR strategy.

If Vancouver was a lower cost of entry I'd for sure be looking to do that, but it'd tie up too much capital versus the timeline I want for investment in some buy and holds in cheaper markets right now.

I'll be there, work permitting - look forward to it!

@Brandon Turner - Looking forward to the new one of these, is there somewhere where we can pitch questions?

@Tom Stromar Is an agent/investor in the Nanaimo area - If you're interested perhaps get in touch, he's been really helpful when I've messaged with him.

I see you're on the Island - Have you taken a look at Nanaimo?  Much lower cost of entry, with the ability to cash flow.

This is a market I've been looking at recently - would love to hear any experiences.  Anyone invested in Sandwich Town?  Thoughts?

@Stanley Kong 

@Ayodeji Kuponiyi

I haven't been able to attend any Surrey based ones as yet due to work schedule, but I have made another local Keyspire one - I agree there's a ton of value and want to attend more for sure, monthly meets don't come quick enough!

Thanks for the welcome - I'm for sure immersing myself in podcasts/webinars.
