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. 

Most of the "Sub-To" community members I've met on the journey are the most overzealous people in the game.

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.

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.

Things like your car (if used for business) and home office expenses could be game-changers, especially in your first year. 

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 personally focus on DSCR investment loans and creative investment financing strategies, so I am happy to connect with you and talk about a game plan.

Love to hear your getting in the game at 21!

There are rules and situations unique to each state and that is why you want to go with a local lender vice someone just reaching out to you telling you they can do it. 2) Better recourse if the lender screws something up: a local lender has more skin in the game so to speak as if they screw something up their name will be mud to local real estate agents in the deal.

This has been the most successful model I have seen in real estate.This goes 100% against every guru and investor the past 5 years of get rich quick of buy, rehab, rent and refinance with little money - that video game is out of order so the gurus need to reinvest themselves and they are trying with seller financing and zero down.
