Now I just want to ask any of you out there would you build in my position or invest that same amount of money?

How does one start lending their own money to other RE investors? 

I don’t want any money.

There are still some affordable rental properties here in Winnipeg if you were ever interested in keeping your money countryside!

We still own the condo, we just have tenants in there who are willing to pay the HOA fee and the increased taxes in order to access the slightly better school system up there.Bottom line, someone who just shows up alone and out of the blue, says they make 3x your rent, offer you nothing else when you explain the income verification problem, and object to a month-to-month rental contract or an increased security deposit, well, they're probably lying about how much money they make.

(I bought it 3 years ago)I'm trying to see how long in the future I will need to do another gut renovation, so I can start saving up some money toward it.Things are in pretty good shape.

Most people that are successfully flipping have a flipping business with either employees on staff or enough work lined up to keep a GC happy for 6 months to a year.Its a tough business to make money in when you are doing one project at a time from a distance. 

Maybe money is tight, maybe it is the summer and people are feeling more inspired to make the recurring Home Depot runs, or maybe people are taking more initiative to round their skills on Youtube University. 

Would you say you made your money back on the upfront cost within a year of your membership?

That being said, I have been listening to podcasts and reading books on real estate for a couple years now but have not had the time or money to fully dive in just yet.
