My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

Getting a property with a 3% mortgage that offered both equity appreciation and solid cash flow is what sparked my passion for real estate investing.

Now do not get me wrong, tech has its place in real estate, but it’s not a replacement for expertise.

We get paid the same whether you take a higher rate or buy down, but there are absolutely times when it makes more sense to do it one way or another.

The guru your son is learning this technique from is likely not telling your son that the deal will almost certainly encourage your son to get an "off-market" deal from a "wholesaler" who is unlikely to properly disclose the details of the property or encourage an inspection. 

What happens if I get an MTR lead from Zillow or MiniStays? 

If I were the neighbor, it sounds like I'd be the only one bringing money to the table so you could get something you want.

If you get 1% to get an appointment / follow up call and close on 1 you are winning. 

If you paid $950k and only get $1M after selling costs, don’t bother with the 1031.

I think in any market the best way to buy right is to find an area you like and canvas that area with letters, calls and door knocks, getting out and talking to people.
