After finding out that it doesn't work like Jack's magic beans, I invested in mentoring from a professional who got me started at a whole level beyond the back and started the cash rolling in. 

I want to start to learn, network and ready myself for the next level so I'm well prepared.

Any real estate activity you are involved in creates a certain level of liability for your broker even if it is across the border.

@Lorin K.Although Vancouver is ranked third least affordable in this year's Demographia report; yielding second place to Sidney, Australia, its median multiple {housing price to income ratio} rose from 10.6 to 10.8 meaning things became even less affordable.While foreign investment is a big driver in the frothy Vancouver housing market, it's not the only factor at play.On a national level , Canada held onto the dubious honour of being second on the list of countries where housing is least affordable - the median market remained flat nationally, but improved slightly when just the major metropolitan centres are considered.Toronto - Canada's second most foamy market - saw its median multiple rise from 6.5 to 6.7 - ranking it 330th out of 367 cities in order of decreasing affordability.

The AMO means the company has a certain level of standards and must also abide by a strict code of ethics.

Your level of expertise is what I aspire to operate on.

Not sure if such a book would exist for real estate investors, but I would be open to any type of book that can give useful information and tips on talking to motivated sellers (or sellers with any level of motivation).

With experience as a Mortgage Banker in my past, I naturally have real estate conversations with my clients and think I can provide a whole new level of service to them by having duel registration as a Financial Advisor AND a Real Estate Agent.

The first level has 4 bedroom/ 2 bathrooms and garage for 3 cars.

Census data is very interesting (for example you can track rental rate increases and mixture changes down to the zip code level along with reported expenses for owners for a zip code to assist in evaluating out of your area markets, but of course this takes time to put together in this way for all MSAs even if you already know a few you wouldn't go into due to expense).
