Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend, I am from Regina, SK, And fairly new to Real Estate Investing.

I am new to real estate investing and thinking of starting off by doing a "house hack" via renting out the unused basement as a short term rental (AirBNB, Vrbo etc) in my single family home which is used as primary residence.

I am extremely interested in all things real estate but do not know how I want to pursue it after I graduate this year.
