Anyone who's going places knows or should know that you should always save at least 5% of your income to invest in books, courses and educational training.

I would love any tips or tricks of the trade of flipping.

Also the builders will usually offer some cool incentives to the buyers with rate buy-downs and free extras.

Cool

Also, it seems to me the market for condo's is slowing down a little, and the rental market is improving a little.So, after all that, anybody have any thoughts, tips, or advice?

Update: Over the last few days I have been using Google Finance quite often and I have to say that some of its features are very cool.

I now need On The Job Training (OJT).Advice appreciated!!!

Your numbers seem cool... alittle high, though.- You do not want the rent credits + the down payment to exceed your spread.

hiya,let me introduce myself. i am a 21 year old enthusiastic investor from toronto, ontario. i have been involved in the purchase of three properties this year ranging from multiplexes to houses with acreage. this limited experience of actually getting proactive and getting started has taught me way more than any book has ever taught me. a tip to other beginners. i have also had some background knowledge in the real estate industry with my parents starting out a real estate rental business 10 years ago. however their knowledge is quite elementary and i have a lot to learn. fortunately i have found this site. and while browsing for the past couple days i have found that there are many invaluable resources and brilliant minds aboard.ps. slthough i have found the canadian content lacking i am confident that with our similar laws the ideas are all valid.looking forward to meeting you,joe
