Hey Jaxin,Congrats on jumping into the real estate game.

If you have ever played the Cash Flow Game, you are pretty much the poster child character in the game for a high-income investor.

Keep the risk in check so you will not be taken out of the game. 

Real estate is a long term game and a lot of podcasts, reels, etc will show you examples of 25 year olds retiring from their 400 unit section 8 portfolio in Cleveland.

Play games.

Alternative route I chose, I will leverage my duplex (purchased 4 years ago) equity through house hacking to have skin in the game on next flip.

Then you hire a coach to accelerate your learning and take you to the next level.Using a sports analogy, it would be foolish to hire a basketball coach if your intent is to play pickup games every Saturday for fun.

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

Ramsey, your game plan seems like a great idea.

It’s a longer-term game, though, with higher upfront costs.I’d say spend some time researching your target area and connecting with local investors or meetups—they’re goldmines for market insights and networking.
