This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

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.

Beyond the lessons from the projects themselves, building a business that’s efficient, diversified, and focused on the luxury market has been a game-changer.

I played that game and I don't want to make money just to make money anymore.

Mentioning unique perks like 'Game Room,' 'Lake View,' or 'Pet-Friendly' can really draw people in.

Based on your advice to newer investors, should I play the long term game by paying off my house early (2030)?

Compare that to Phoenix where I had been to a game just one month earlier.

Plot 1: 2024 market value of $6,900. 45x120Plot 2: 2024 market value of $3,800. 100x94I'm still pretty new to the game, so I have no experience with land deals, ground up construction, zoning, things of that nature, and am wondering what the best play is.Sell one to help with acquisition costs and build an ADU on the other?

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