Lots of people either rush in to quick or don't ever get in the game.

It's a relationship game more than anything, so if you're building strong relationships with them and providing a consistent product, you'll be golden.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Name of the game for me is speed to move the contract.Currently I have a mass email marketing platform that works well but no one checks their email as much as their texts. 

Outside of real estate, I’m a huge sports fan, so you can usually find me glued to almost every game on the weekends.My interest in real estate began as I explored different ways to generate passive income, which ultimately led me to the BiggerPockets community.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

Congrats - you won the investment game!

And do you think you're the only game in town?

I’m new to the real estate game.

I’m not worried about the economy as much - I’m paying attention but all in all, real estate is a long-term game that’s proven itself over and over again over time.
