Do you have any FREE ressourceful site about real estate investments?

Anything concerning real estate investment, I am a newcomer and I have a lot to learn, I dont know what to do with my money so if you have any idea aside than that most welcome, thank you

oh and if it concerns Canada (or Quebec, even) , just better, but any general information, wether or not is appreciated

You're going to discover every county in every state/province/territory operates and does things a little differently than the one next to it.

It requires LOTS of time and diligence.

This is what I learned: No one ever gives anyone anything for free. "There is no free lunch."

The best suggestions I can offer:
1] Go to your local library and check-out any of the real estate investment books. Read each book with this thought in the back of your mind:
the author did not write that book just for your state, county or city. The book was written for the largest number of people who would BUY THAT book.

Yes, there might be sections or a section pertaining to your state, but the book's overall message was for the broadest group of people.

2A] It doesn't make any difference whether you live in a large city or a village/borough, make the investment of time to go to the County Copuirt House or City Hall. Visit athe Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk's Office or whatever the office is referred to in Canada. The names are diffeent, but the Office's function is the same: to record ALL REAL property documents.

The ladies and gentlemen in the City Hall or Court House are there to help the folks who come there to do business and take care of various matters about that city or county.

2B] You'll need a specific, actual address - even if its your's or a friend or relative living in that same county or city. The property owner's name would be very helpful. Ask an emplyee in that office how to research a property. Write down and/or remember each of the steps you are shown.

3A] When you finish researching that property, go to the Sheriff's Office. Ask for the rules for Sheriff's sales and foreclosures.

3B] IF the notices for the Sheriff's Sales are posted, choose any one or two. If you have to ask for the list, do so. Then pick one or two.

3C] Go back to the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk's Office. With what you were taught and learned, do the research for that property.

If you get stuck, ask for help.

4] If you are able to do this, attend AT LEAST 3 of those Sheriff's Sales. You aren't going to bid on any property. You aren't going to buy any property. You are there STRICTLY as an observer. You want to see how the process works.

Sheriff's Sales are only one very small aspect of the real estate business. There are many others.
