I second @Shawn McCormick, the CFRI is a great place to get started.

Quote from @Shawn York: @Jason Malabute Yep - I'm currently invested with BAM in Fund #1 and Fund #3 (no money in the war-chest when #2 came around)Distributions have been consistent and reliable and Fund #1 has already generated a 2x equity multiple.

Hi @Shawn Mix agreed.

Quote from @Shawn Parsh: Sharma, From my perspective I prefer to run my own fix and flips.

@Shawn Tuma & @Chris KayVery difficult in today's market to cashflow putting 0% down:(5-10 years ago it was possible, but prices have increased faster than rents.Your best bet is to find a property that needs work, but will still pass a VA appraisal/inspection. 

@Shawn Nofziger, started investing without my license.  

@Shawn Smith we've got several clients from Toronto and also Vancouver.So, we've got referrals for experienced tax attorneys, CPA's, etc. for Canadians and foreigner investors in general.What are you purchase criteria?

Quote from @Daniel Chapman: Hey Family, I'm looking to invest in Toledo and I'm not too familiar with the lay of the land.

@Shawn FletcherI would never pay $10k for any type of training from someone on real estate.

Hey Shawn - Highly suggest going to local meetups and joining investing groups on FB to build your local network.
