And given syndications are a marketing game more than a real estate game, it begins to give you real marketing content to share with the world to help drive new leads for future deals.

Good Morning BP,I bought my first house last year in Suffolk, Virginia just to get started in the real estate game.

I have found enough business and made enough money not to need to expand outside of this market.Section 8 is a whole different ball game but I find the program is unique in that it's a 3-party relationship adding the variable of a government agency.

I think real estate investors in the game just become confident as to handle new challenges and they call that being experienced - Just like parenting: you think you are experienced with changing diapers, but the child is growing-kindergaten-grade one-baseball/soccer- soon teenage and the jazz goes on - grandparent

I would do a game room over a movie theatre.

If your new servicer wants to play games, file a complaint with the CFPB and dispute with the credit bureaus.

I agree with you and @Doug Smith because I been laughed away enough to realize that aint the game anymore. 

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.

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.

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.
