So, EVERY broker or trader is self taught.

There are less drastic trade rates example from a high end multifamily with a 5% cap converted into a hotel and then trade with 8%-10% cap, but this is not what I am doing.

I met with one this past week, and he pretty much shut down my business idea immediately, quoting sections from the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act of 2002 which provides a *very* broad definition for the word 'trading', and goes on to say that nobody may trade real estate in the province of Ontario who is not registered as a broker or salesperson working for a brokerage, or who is otherwiese 'registered' as defined in the Act.Here's a link, see section 4 subsection 1:http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_02r30_e.htm#BK6Now I will fully admit that the attorney I met with didn't seem to have much experience dealing with real estate investors - perhaps I should have screened him more carefully.

I have searched criagslist, equipment trader, iron planet.   

@Ikaika FarmerStock market will make you rich too if you’re a savvy trader and patient too

Maybe you dont consider bots as AI ...Financial advisers and stock traders ,just 15 years ago they were required, not the case any more.

I'm a long-term investor, not a trader of bonds.

It's a traders market right now.  

Unless you are a very experienced swing/day trader, you should be mentally prepared to play the longer term game on any funds put in this market (or in other words ready to let your money sit for 3+ years) and even ready to average down.

This past year was all about learning a new trade (real estate).
