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

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

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!

So the tradeline game is and will change.

Investing is a long game.

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

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!
