I think that is incredible and inspiring - he must have felt in his heart that was the right thing to do and he'll certainly be blessed 10 fold down the line. 

Thank you Brendon and all others who have contributed and educate newbie like me, It's really inspiring and motivating to understand the nuances, pitfalls and advising on how to build wealth with the content on this website, videos shared and podcasts.I live in Toronto, Does biggerpockets exist here in canada in terms of connections, networks, partners, lenders, events, etc?

Also, The Richest Man in Babylon is what got us started with a specific framework to start budgeting (we've adjusted it somewhat, but it's still my inspiration).The podcast that has helped me the most to get in the investor mindset is Keith Weinhold's Get Rich Education.

You'll find something inspiring, for sure!

Your question inspired me to write a blog post on the Pros & Cons for buying small town Multifamily Properties located in the secondary and tertiary markets

And perhaps post some success stories with numbers, under Tom's guidance, to inspire others? 

At the end of the day, the most successful cold callers are those that are able to inspire trust very, VERY quickly.

@25 years old myself, you really inspire me :)

. - You have clearly asked a question that has inspired a bit of debate, which is good.  

Thanks @Brian White - the site is ripropinfo.com - and beside's Brian's excellent insights you'll also need to register with the RI Secretary of State, @Steve Porcello, as an out of state landlord.If you're serious about investing in RI I'd recommend joining or staying apprised of (and occasionally attending for relevant topics) RIREIG which usually meets the 3rd Thursday of each month (rireig.com).RI often takes inspiration from MA with various laws, but they are not exactly the same and it's important to know the differences, such as various landlord-tenant considerations, lead paint, fire coding, etc.
