Even in high-cost markets, creative financing or partnering with experienced investors could help you get in the game.

The game plan would be to keep this structure for 1-2 years with future full sale.

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

Removing all skills from the equation, if you don't take a break from participating as a real estate investor in some way each day, you will stay far ahead of everyone else who keeps subbing themselves out and then asking to get back in when the game is already out of reach.

That drive is what sets apart winners in this game. 

If you are good with your numbers, you're already ahead of the game.
