As long as you can get good advice for Canadian laws, one way to generate the cash flow you are looking for is to find properties to purchase on lease/option, land contract or subject-to and then sell them to other people on a lease/option.

hiya,let me introduce myself. i am a 21 year old enthusiastic investor from toronto, ontario. i have been involved in the purchase of three properties this year ranging from multiplexes to houses with acreage. this limited experience of actually getting proactive and getting started has taught me way more than any book has ever taught me. a tip to other beginners. i have also had some background knowledge in the real estate industry with my parents starting out a real estate rental business 10 years ago. however their knowledge is quite elementary and i have a lot to learn. fortunately i have found this site. and while browsing for the past couple days i have found that there are many invaluable resources and brilliant minds aboard.ps. slthough i have found the canadian content lacking i am confident that with our similar laws the ideas are all valid.looking forward to meeting you,joe

Inexperienced investors looking to put their money into global opportunities often end up with more questions than answers and throw up their hands in despair: •Where do you start?

The one secret your going to need on your side The one secret that I believe that can make you successful over most all others is to team up with someone that has: A global network of contacts You will need a list of contacts that is literally priceless or make sure your mentor has LARGE list of: o Developers o Property owners o Analysts o Economists o US-based attorneys o Attorneys who are based in the areas we invest o Translators o Chartered jets o Managers of 5 star hotels o Happy investors who have made money When the investment is sound, that’s a “first to market” advantage that any smart investor would crave!
