You're right Greg, we all start out wanting to make money and if it's the sole reason to invest or have a business, it is also what messes up many entrepreneurs - whether they realize it or not ... ask me how I know this. I disagree that money is the only driving factor, it's what the money...

I agree with Wade fully - I've been marketing (guerrilla style) since I was 19 and took my company world-wide in less than 5 years. What I've learned from Don and Greg has only amplified my position in the market and I am able to teach that to our Real Estate coaching clients. You are right...

Everything worked out to your satisfaction I gather huh Alex :)

Good morning Kyle, Barrie is one of my key investment places and I have been there since 2008 focused mainly in the southend. For your situation of having about 10% downpayment, connect with a mortgage broker first and get a pre-action plan in place so you are not scrambling at the last...

All great posts and advice Alex. There is nothing comparable to real world experience - and many people fall short because they never 'step into' their wants...you are already ahead of them in your mindset and eagerness to learn. That said, you have a bit of time to take in and absorb the...

Hi John, It may also depend on what members thing "3 months" is. I've always put three months worth of rental payments, which is close to, but not exactly 3% of the purchase price. I put that in the account immediately on closing - it's usually an average of $4000 per property...

I'll add to Todor's great thread...I just posted this on my blog http://engagedinvestor.ca/2011/09/tips-for-real-estate-bookkeeping-21/ enjoy

:) John, select "quote" and then adjust what you want to include in your 'reply' post. At least I THINK that's what you are looking to do

Hey Richard!!! Thanks for the great mention on helping you stay motivated! I appreciate that! Your Audi is not far off :D

Welcome Neil!!! You will have a blast on the 'inside' members section!

This is great news Ron!!! Gald to see this shift happening!!! Can't wait.

Sorry dude, my bad, I didn't mean it that way either ... it's a heavy ... deep, post :)

Excellent post Kris - couldn't agree more!!!

Hey there Roel, Welcome, nice to see another 'newbie' who is already taking ACTION. It looks like you are many, many steps ahead of many, many other people who just 'want' to be wealthy but are unwilling to do what it really takes...pat yourself on the back. After speaking with the...

Hi Matt, you have obviously received some great insights above and I agree with them. I'm going to invite you to look at another perspective - at your age, I was spending large amounts of money and living a really great lifestyle as I was majorly in the entertainment industry - basically, I was...

Leif, you are completely normal for feeling this way - being stuck, disconnected and of course a bit scared of what the future holds. The good part is, you have stepped into learning by being here. Less than five years ago, I had ZERO knowledge of the Real Estate investment "business" - I...
