@Cassidy Burns - congrats on your growth! 

@Ashley Burns, I would look at the REtipster web site.

If you get, say, 10 properties before you're 30, and each property gets a rental income of $1000/month before PITI and other expenses, when you're 60, you'll no longer have Principle or interest, and can just collect fat checks.

Can you afford to pay out of pocket if it burns down?

@Cassidy Burns I love real estate..not up for debate and I will make it work, to me there's nothing sexy about staying up until 4am working on real estate every day, listening to multiple podcast, reading endless articles and books.

The saying "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" really applies here; I offered a deal on a place and came up to my maximum all-in, and they wouldn't come down $2500 to make the deal.

Any experienced agent will simply not burn their time or burn the sellers time getting the house ready for a showing without it. 

These will burn through a 20% discount in a heartbeat.Perhaps, in a sub $200K price range a 20% discount would get a rental investor juiced up a bit.

But between me burning out on flipping and the low inventory and the massive numbers of flippers and the low returns, I'm not seeing a solid yearly salary I can pull in from it.

The passion is still burning for what we do.
