I also want to invest while holding my full time job.I'm here to learn and am excited about the challenges that lie ahead.

The only exceptions to this are:Starting with a huge wad of cash.Going incredibly slowly, and leaving a lot of money on the table.Partnerships (which I personally find far more intimidating than straight-out debt).Your head in the right place and you have your whole career ahead of you.

Any repairs needed are done a head of time or schedule after the move-in.

So, here we are, November 25th - not even Yankee Thanksgiving yet - I'm hauling the last load of leaves and brush to the compost yard ahead of the forecast snow, when I receive an SMS alert from my bank!?!

I have a relationship with my local banker for another business I own, so he gave me the go ahead to make the offer after showing him the numbers.

Some of these guys are pretty slick and would put a used car salesman to shame.You can learn far more here on BP - for free - from folks who are on the ground investing in real estate every day: some do it part time; some full time; some have been at it for years; some are just a step or two ahead of you; and some are where you are at.As for the Canadian market, it did not undergo the correction that took hold of much of the U.S. market four year ago and much of it is full priced - where you are (the GTA) is beyond fully priced and bordering on silly.

For example, i may want to check out 5 people I see on BP before I go ahead and approach one.

Took me a moment to understand and then I think it clicked for me that that is probably exactly what I'm doing.
