Great way to pick up some good info and possibly a deal.

But, most beginners don't.Your best shot of finding a deal is "driving for dollars," as Brandon terms it, looking for vacant/rundown properties in good neighborhoods with great school systems, then contacting the owners, who may have been considering selling, but not taken any action, yet.Another key is to pick an area and focus on that, getting to know local values like the back of your hand.

Pick a niche and go out there and do it, you will get better with action.

I'm not an expert but I will say that I have picked up some very good advice here on BP.

Some places will do it on a rotation, or a random draw, some places have no system.  

If you ever want to get together and grab a coffee and pick each others brains, let me know.

Can you pick up a second job, start your own biz, or get a raise in your current job?

@Chase London,you have 2 locals already contacted you: @Aaron Vaughn and @Jerry Stanford.How about you connect and pick their brains a bit?

I like to compare my actuall Real estate board stats to what they say, I find its usually cherry picked data.If the Toronto Market starts to fail the ripple effect will start to been seen on the outskirts of the GTA first and foremost, as those values are based strictly upon lack of affordability in the city core.Most cities with their own economy will weather the storm with ease and see little to no negative effects, Brampton, Missisauge, Cambridge, Hamilton, Kitchener and similar areas will see mild stagnation if not slow growth.Places based purely on accessibility with little employers in the area will get hit the hardest as the Toronto market slows down or sees negative appreciation people will buy in the city core rather than an outskirt.
