The beautiful thing about real estate investing is there are several avenues you can choose from depending on your end game. 

You only need to put a small game plan together to start running the numbers base don zipcode, property type, sale prices, common rents/cash flow.You would be surprised how far $150K can get you to cover a New primary home and 1-2 rental properties back to back. 

Turning a garage into a game room will probably pay for itself relatively quick. 

Landlord-Friendly:Tenant laws here are more favorable for landlords compared to more regulated markets like Minneapolis, which could be a game changer for you.3.

@Nikhil MascarenhasDifferent people go different routes depending on their risk tolerance, their amount of equity and compared to other assets owned, how patient they are with a complicated set-up and high legal fees, whether they view the $800 as game-changing or just a cost of doing business, etc. 

Is that less desirable than a property with 5 bedrooms with walls, but less convertible entertaining space that could be used for movies, gaming,etc?

Obviously we cannot force the borrower to sign so I said let’s foreclose because I think borrower is playing games.

Real estate is a long game.

Then, it just becomes a numbers game....

has anyone ever raised their skin in the game for a deal?
