LOL
Of course, anytime you want to learn about RE investing, all you have to do is contact your friendly neighbourhood realtor, and they’ll be *happy* to tell you EVERYTHING they think you need to know about RE investing, and they’ll happily sell you some great investment condos while you’re at it, and they’ll recommend a mortgage broker, and they’ll recommend a housing inspector, etc, etc, etc…
Real Estate Investment Network?? Not saying it is good but at least it’s Canada based as opposed to all those US based ones.
