My biggest goal for this year is just to get into the game of real estate 

If you're going to need a mortgage, you're locked out of the game. 

That's why I'm asking for more opinions from people who have been in the game longer. 

If you can answer these types of questions you will know what is important as you game plan for the next 10 years.

Their might be some wiggle room if what is being collected comes in over the market rent however for the most part the market rent would be the preferred guideline and any deviation from that would be up to the lender that you are working with.

I’m not sure if this is for you, but...If you’re serious about leveling up your real estate game in 2024, there’s no reason not to try this.

I am new to the real estate game.

I wouldn't want someone to hold back, I prefer honesty and straight talk. 

You might not cash flow right away, but even just offsetting what you were paying in rent while building equity, getting tax benefits, and learning how to be a landlord is a game changer.

We cannot breach our guests' trust by playing games with them.
