Can we connect and talk more? I read your bio and saw that you were born in Toronto and now live in Florida… That is exactly what I’m working towards with my end goal. 

Awesome thanks Drago for the advice i appreciate it more than you know! Will definitely keep in touch with you , Maybe one day I’ll start acquiring properties in Miami , I just talked to a lender and since I am in Canada . Anything over 3 units I don’t qualify for first time buyers loan and have to put up 20% because it’s considered commercial… What do you think I should do now? Just start with a duplex? I want to set my self up in the beginning so I can scale every year or every two years. Looking forward to hear what you have to say .

Hi Drago,

I appreciate the advice and I’m going to take it all in, do you think for my first property going bigger is better? I’ve been doing a lot of reading and researching and I haven’t made up my mind on to which would be better .. A duplex or 4plex , I’m going to be leaving soon for the oilfields. Going to go for 2 years and my starting salary will be around low 200s should I go all in with a 4 plex or just start with a duplex like you said to? I want to get into the commercial side but i understand I have to start with residential to work my way up

Thanks for reaching out Nathan.

Appreciate the advice , just have a couple questions … How do I network with investors in my area? What’s the best ways to go about it? Also how do I find figure out how I can help them in exchange for information ? 

Little about me , I’ve always had big dreams and I’m very ambitious when it comes to real estate . I have been working since I was 15 , I’m now in construction only because I just don’t know exactly what I should be doing. I’ve been leaning on the oilfields to make my first 100k and then start out with real estate investing . Real estate has always been exciting for me and I just don’t know where to start out . I have this plan where I first start out with a duplex , Rent 1 live in one for a year move back in with my parents and then leverage off that duplex to get another property right away. Seeking some knowledge and experience from others that have been doing this for some time. I’m very eager to learn , I’m all ears … Any advice is much appreciated! also what would you have done differently if you were my age . Looking forward to hearing the replies
