I've been working a 9-5 again for just over a year and I would rather be working for myself doing real estate investments.I plan on making some sort of deal happen this year, not quite sure how I am going to make it happen but I will.

I've been to a few, though have never purchased anything there, just sort of witnessed what happens.

Hi, I am new to BP and sort of browsing around.

@Chad Urbshott  Poperty Radar for 50 a month is a no brainer... its got all sorts of cool apps that go beyond foreclosure.. like you can be driving along with a map of the street your on.. and the lots will be color coded owner occ or non owner...

@Logan HicksYes I believe that is correct@Shawn Thom I apologize It was in the title sort of "Painter Wants to charge by the hour?"

It is, perhaps, best thought of as a sort of "franchise" arrangement where you pay a "franchise fee" to the tune of circa. $40K to gain access to their "franchisee" training, materials and limited rights to use their name and trademarks in promotional items and such in your investing business.

From the original locals who can't understand why a house would cost more than 100K to the Vancouver commuters and more recently, the increased Asian interest.For myself, I enjoy it as a Vancouver Suburb - downtown vancouver is only 15 minutes away on a float plane but there's no traffic and the R.E prices are 2/3's lower.Aurther - I'm not sure if you've got a plan of any kind set out but I agree with the other folks you'll probably need to build or grow into that sort of generation off of the 100K. 

If there's a counter and re-counter, then that all has to be done formally.I've found that listing agents want me to get the property and sort of give my offer a little more push than they might another agent's. 

I came across Bigger Pockets a few years ago and unfortunately did not allocate time to learn more through this community, and sort of forgot about it.
