Hi Lynne,There's an active group in Ottawa that meets monthly.

@Brent Coombs  I am new to the investment game and was hoping you could provide more information on what house hacking is.Thanks

I was wondering if there is anyone on here who meets up now and then because we would love to come along and meet other investors and learn from you.

Here are some good places to start: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet- find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!

This single action, for me, was the biggest thing that has advanced my RE investing.I'm part of a small meet up in downtown.

@Rhea Jackson welcome to the greatest city in America :-) Let me know if you want to meet up for lunch or coffee and talk RE.

We just held a Tulsa BP Meet Up yesterday.  

Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how I can force or convince the muni to complete that portion of their road plan, or would I just be stuck in a waiting game until they move forward with it?

I would agree with @Chris Muller Kelowna is a great market for investment, it is getting more competitive but we are still able to find deals that meet our requirements. 

If this meets your criteria, and you plan on holding for a long time, then no worries.
