Hello BPers,I am a buy a hold investor in the golden horse shoe of Ontario, Canada, and currently own 2 properties. 

hey guys from i'm  brooklyn so here goesif i only have $1000 bucks i'ld buy me 5000 business cards. then i go to the biggest shopping center there is and buy me a pair of comfortable shoes or sneakers. while doing this i would be giving out my cards. with my new sneakers on i would knock on as many foreclosed distressed properties i could get to . walking the neighborhood that you want to invest in is the most effective way to find leads. leads equal money. you will find a deal then wholesale that deal.. and repeat

Joshua Hardy I certainly do not want to deal with a neighbor like you had I been in your neighbor's shoes.

If you sell blue shoes, and someone types "I want to buy blue shoes now" into Google, clicks your ad and lands on your blue shoes website, and doesn't buy blue shoes, how is that a reflection of Adwords?

Property taxes are exorbitant and so are electricity costs and so are septic tank repairs every time a kid flushes their shoe down your toilet2.occupancy rates are high in July and August but weekend-only at best the other 10 months of the year.

Are they larger, showcase-type properties? 

Would love to be in your shoes(flip flop) one day!

They're the ones I see walking around in Rockport shoes, faded jeans, and t-shirts.  

Ditto.I go for comfort, which for me is jeans, boots/tennis shoes and decent shirt (no T-shirts).
