My name is Gord Mackie and I have been investing in Hamilton,ON for about 4 years now, but I just joined REIN in April. First of all, I think that this site is amazing ... I am on it almost every day, and I am learning tons from all the experienced investors out there.
My success story is that I am closing on my first purchase using the ACRE system. From what I have learned from the REIN system and other members, I have taken a new direction from what I have invested in previously (namely Condo townhouse). It was very scary to make this change and to use a new system. I think during my pre-REIN purchases, I didn`t know enough to be nervous. The system worked very well, and kept me on course. I have much more confidence in this property than I had with my other purchases. We are currently working with a property manager to rent the unit ... this is also my first experience with professional property managers. Anyways, lots of firsts for me, but I am already considering the next one.
A special thanks goes out to Donna Collins and Mark Garrett for their input and assistance, and of course to Don Campbell and Russell Westcott for their amazing teachings.
Thanks again.
Gord
