Hey everyone, 26 y/o from British Columbia, Canada in the okanagan area.Never thought much about my finances until recently and just came across bigger pockets around a month ago after discovering the idea of financial independence in general (probably began with youtube recommendations) and by listening to a few other podcasts while at work as an aluminum boat builder/welder to pass the time.

Hello, I'm a new member looking to get started in real estate investing in Southeastern Michigan.  

I've originally been looking at primarily markets in the Midwest where i am locally, however i am now looking into central south, south eastern regions just because of more buying power and market growth.Not to say there are not strong markets in the Midwest.

PS one of my very short stints was attempting to sell dental equipment door to door.. you know high speed drills low speed and delivery systems and chairs and lights etc.. sit down dentistry was just starting to take off.. turned out Dentist before that had a huge problem with back aches.I worked with a start up called healthkit.. they had a delivery system way ahead of its time.. it was all numatic and was used in the military because the holder of the drills was solid aluminum block 2 X 2 X 6  with no moving parts.. unlike in those days the ones that looked like something out of a sci fi movie and would break all the time.. but of course ours was the most expensive and well .. being that and being the industry was very difficult to sell.

Hey guys, my name is Robert Thomas and I have been reading and listening to podcasts for almost a year now and feel like real estate is the life for me. I would like to potentially become an agent and then transition ...

My house had aluminum siding but i had to sand, scrape and repaint it which probably cost me $2500 doing it ourselves.
