So the tradeline game is and will change.

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

Investing is a long game.

My question is would it make sense to save for down payment for another primary residence and rent this home out with negative cash flow to get into the REI game.

Hey, what's up everyone,I am new to the real estate investing game.

I'd have no issue if they mailed me or scraped TOT info to reach out etc, but to use a businesses platform to market and take revenue away, and have to disguise your contact info to do it...no thanks.I realize some of that is just the name of the game, and plenty are ok with prospecting this way but for me you can use the demographic of STR owners without directly sourcing via the competitions platform. 

Love hearing about your experience, especially with 21+ years in the game—definitely a wealth of knowledge there!

I know a lot comes from time and connections so I've been focused on just learning the game as much as possible! 

Thats the name of the game.
