Real estate is a long game, and as this experience shows, persistence pays off, even when things don’t go according to plan.

Most do not get in the game 

I'm just starting out. Looking to do some deal analysis to gain some experience and then on to my first deal. Thank you Bigger Pockets!

It's playing a game of musical chairs speculating you can exit and cash out big on the upcycle before things change.

It's all fun and games until a reckless driver jumps the curb...Since your investment goals are $300 monthly cash flow and 30% equity, you’ll need to make sure the numbers work for both properties under these new financing terms.

Ellijay and Blairsville are late coming to the vacation rental game, but are trying to catch up quickly.  

My name is Genita, and I'm no longer sitting on the sidelines of the REI game. 

So the tradeline game is and will change.

Its to make sure you have enough skin in the game on this property such that when you buy the next one you're not going to be in over your ski's.Hope that helps, there are many ways to structure your situation so that you can bob and weave around these obstacles.

RE is a long game, and congrats on having $250K in cash to spend!
