I am new to the game with only one previous tenant under my belt.

I this my entry point into the real-estate game.

It’s not a zero sum game and the lessons learned alone are worth it!

We're still early in the ball game.

Your relationships you build will bring way more deals that random wholesalers who misrepresent the entire process to the sellers and daisy chain a game of telephone 8 deep on a property.

The successful investor understands that this is not a game of weeks and months but a game of years and decades.

From me they've stolen the honey out of my kitchen, board games, books, puzzles, random silverware, etc.

I will always keep my license here in Chicago because it's so hard one but I wouldn't jump into the game here.

Hi Jessenia,I've been in the game for quite some time and have many battle scars to prove it lolMy best advice would be to always look at a worst case scenario and start from that.By starting with a worst case scenario you will be able to quicker eliminate markets that aren't a good fit.I don't know much about NY but personally, I wouldn't invest in any market that takes 6 months or even worse longer to evict.Worst case scenario for example = Tenant doesn't pay rent and trashes the property.I would want to be able to evict, fix and re-tenant as quickly as possible.Time is money and I want to keep moving forward and not deal with financial and emotional drag.There are many markets nation wide that are landlord friendly.My business is based on Ohio and there is no mercy for non payment of rent.Eviction usually takes 6 weeks max and although I never want to evict, being able to do so quickly minimizes risk of that investment.Thanks 

While employees can be a valuable asset, they also come with a hefty price tag.In my journey as a real estate investor, I discovered a game-changer – virtual assistants.
