Quote from @Torrean Edwards: Quote from @Pat Parrillo: Welcome @Torrean Edwards What are some of your goals with getting back into the Real Estate game?

I'm new to the game but I have been prospecting for deals for a while now.

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years? 

It's a game-changer where you can buy a $1,000,000 property with $35,000 down, you can build equity while keeping living costs low.2️⃣ Partnering Up:Real estate is a team sport.

Sorry for the long winded back story, but end game is to put a A frame on the existing 20x40' stem wall above near where I"m standing, and put some stairs into a drop down area below for chairs/fire-pit overlooking the river canyon below (but out of view) under where the drone is flying.

This decision often comes down to a simple numbers game.

I own a property management company and am looking to get into the investment game too and to meet people on a similar path.

Spending too much time on analyzing one deal will put you out of the game on too many other ones...

If appreciation is not there, however, it seems like a potentially long waiting game to see if your $60k investment today returns anything meaningful in the long run. 

Consistent action is the name of the game when it comes to achieving success.
