I know that hiring the guy/girl who does something day in and day out is way better than me at it, and can save me time/money/frustrations.

I gave the buyer more money (through offer and interest income), but I saved almost $10k cost to me, with higher CF, in the process.

Now it's time to buckle down and save, pay off our debts, keep learning, and I want to start networking as well.

I think my problem was resolved in a previous response, telling me that the contract should state that the buyer must diligently pursue loan approval.

Unfortunately many people live their lives spending all of their money and not saving for their older years and then realize they have nothing to retire on.

A) I wanted to ask here first what people thought about Brantford as my first investment.B) I have $60,000CDN in savings.

Issues such as this are typically resolved by either removing the encroachment, buying the affected land, or pursuing a quiet title action (if there are grounds for it).

So it may be best to try and save up more cash.

I've been studying up for a long time and ready to take the plunge once I can save up some funds, unless I can find a good hard money lender willing to make a deal.I work in IT for the government, but my primary goal is to have enough properties that I can become FI and quit my day job to do this full time.

I would either find someone who has money to partner with or try to build up some savings.
