I paid a local tow truck driver $100 to stop in front of their trailer with his truck and start measuring his trailer while they were at home watching and then knock on the door and ask if tongue and axles were under the trailer.  

Nice try though.Myth 4: I'm hands-on, so I materially participate"Material participation" is defined by the IRS, not by your Facebook friends and not by YouTube gurus.

After reading so much in these forums and watching videos of people who have dived into real estate, it's pretty amazing what can be accomplished in 5 years! 

Most people that have limited experience go the thought leadership route.Start learning everything you can about real estate investing and then regurgitate it by writing blogs, starting or being featured on podcasts, blab about it on YouTube and social media.  

I did a very similar automation campaign for my guests.One useful tip  (you covered it on finding the apartment) is that I like to record a full walk through YouTube to show how to work things.

Basically, any good that doesn't get additional value from the fact that it is old like a collector's watch or some wines for example.

Hey everyone, my name is Alex, I’m a new investor in Ontario and I have learned so much watching the podcasts and reading books from bigger pockets, I love the community and how helpful everyone has been, I would love to network with some other Canadian investors and learn some more!

I don't recall speaking to someone who might have been from overseas.I watch alot of content from Clint Coons, Toby Mathis, and Mark Kohler on the topic.

People did not have BiggerPockets, YouTube, podcasts, or hundreds of books on real estate investing.

In my free time, I like to work out, run, watch sports, and hangout with my family.
