Network and try to find a mentor in these groups or wherever you can to help guide you through this industry as an investor.

So my question to you is - if you're from CT - are there any meet ups or networking events that happen - that beginners are welcome ? 

This is a scenario where you want an expert in your corner.  

If so, why not partner with someone else that can help you fund the deal, either 100% or have your money partner fund 20% and a commercial bank fund 80% then flip it and split the profits w/ your money partner at whatever split you all think is most fair? 

Hey everyone, my name is Alex, I’m a new investor in Ontario and I have learned so much watching the podcasts and reading books from bigger pockets, I love the community and how helpful everyone has been, I would love to network with some other Canadian investors and learn some more!

Research the paint, floors, etc.

Currently building my portfolio as an investor, I look forward to connecting with and learning from you all excited to be here. 

Don't want to have to burn time trying to figure this out as part of a transaction.

Hello Everyone,I was talking to an investor in regards to financing and his suggestion was to get a 500k loan to put towards all current debt, but wasn't sure all the factors that may be implicated with going this route.My current portfolio has 2 properties (1 LTR, 1 MTR = 370k), and current debts: HELOC at 54k and a vehicle at 40k.
