My hopes are to network, form connections, and learn as much as I can from those with the experience and create my own path in the game.

For those of you who've done JVs whats one strong piece of advice to get in the game?

To put it simply, I’ve been told that I do not have enough skin in the game myself in order to cash out some equity.We bought the seller financed with only a $30,000 down payment.

The walk out lower level offers an additional room with two twin beds, a game room, and another TV 50" area with a pull out sleeper sofa.

Thanks for posting, @Rene Hosman.The statewide law is such a big  game-changer.

Study the problems landlords face, learn how to handle them, create policies and procedures, and get ahead of the game.

This is a great step to financial freedom, i would said what really change my game is using an investment loan that allow me to buy property that generate cash flow without have to show my income.

I too am from louisiana and just getting into the game.

It seems you just need that first investment to get into the game. 

So it’s definitely a numbers game and making it work for your strategy.
