I can`t believe that I`m becoming a real estate expert...
I remember reading Don`s book on are annual family Mexican vacation in March 2010 and saying I think I can do this.
In may I both a duplex and renovated it and lease it out. That was not that hard` Then I pick up a row house with friend and did the same. Ouff ` one thing I learn it`s not easy to work whit someone else.
Then I went to an Acres program in Toronto` wow that was a eye opening event. All these people doing or learning what I wanted to do. I`m a shy person so I just listen and talk to the people at my table in the back. From there I join the rein forum and read all the post and books for Canadian real estate.
So from there I join a local real estate group in Ottawa and learn how to talk to people about real estate and network` I still can`t believe, I now network`lol. I`m still no Russell Westcott.
I both a few more houses and then I partner up with another friend but this time as a silent partner only. Works much better for me. Now I have real estate agents that are calling me about deals they have, what a different from a few years ago.
Last week I was having lunch with a buddy and I get a call from an agent for a condo that the deal went bad and the seller needs a fast closing. Got the numbers and a visit in the next hour, my buddy ask me if he could tag along` next thing you know is my new partner in the deal and I already have a new renter coming in on the 15 November. My buddy can`t believe how fast this can be done, I said it`s what happens when you have a team behind you` Thank you rein for teaching me these things.
So know I have 8 doors and 3 partners in 3 years. I would never think that this was possible for me.
If you think real estate is for you take the leap and do it. Just go at your speed there is no rush.
I like this phase
Don`t wait to invest in real estate` Invest in real estate and wait !!!
