In the past year we've been through the ringer financially due to bad contractors, deal promises, and generally just being new to the game.

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.

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

This is my first personal mortgage so I'm trying to learn the game.

I can tell they are both on top of their game.

In this game, there's always something! 

Would love to connect.I'm currently eyeing at least a 3/2 with a pool/hot tub and area for a game room outside of an HOA.Thank you!

Real estate is a long term game once you understand that it gets easier my friend .

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? 

Starting out in real estate can be overwhelming, but with your background in flips, creative financing, and the Pace Morby community, you’re already ahead of the game.
