There are thousands of time shares for sale on the net and vacations can be had for pennies on the dollar.I think we sold his time share on a web site selling them for about $20.

Thanks, Savannah.I appreciate the offer and will definitely use it as I work my way through the information and calculators on the BP web site.

This is a great community to connect with people, learn the ropes, and get advice from those who've been in the game for a while.

We debate selling it all the time but we know homes in CA usually always increase in value and it is just a waiting game and we can’t sell it right now and make a profit yet.

Hello, I am completely new to real estate investing and was hoping to find out from people who have been in the game for a while what a realistic earning potential would be from accumulating long term rentals over time. 

If BRICS was joined by OPEC, that's it, game over for USD and "west".     

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

But I looking at the long game - I want valued tenants that take care of the property and minimize wasting my time.

Hey @Scott Meech - Check out your competition with furnished finder that is where a lot of Medium Turn rentals list their properties.I have a MTR in Chicago that has been decently successful...whatever I have found throughout my entire life and investing career is it is never one property/deal that is a grand slam...Rather, the grand slam is done by hitting many singles and using systems and processes to scale your operation; the combination of scaling and experience in a niche of real estate allows you to hit unlimited grand slams because, unlike baseball, real estate is NOT a zero-sum game.

Real Estate is the long game, not the get rich quick theme we hear on social media.
