My husband likens a loan to that game on the price is right; Plinko. 

I'm a Plant Manager at a sand and gravel mine working 65-80 hour weeks and have been in the industry since I was 17.

Hi BP Communtiy, as promised, I want to discuss how i fell into the real estate industry with my first family "deal"My grandparents have lived in Cambridge, MA (10 min walk to Harvard Sq) for 50+ years in a duplex.

There are so many "gurus" posting there 5 figure checks online when the reality is, this is a tough, competitive business that requires you to bring your A GAME.

Hello BP forums, I am very new to this game and i'm in the works of making my first deal ( Im looking for a 3-4 unit multifamily house.) my question is about the payment on your mortgage. should you rely on the tenant's rent in order to pay the mortgage or should you be able to fund the whole thing your self form other sources. 

(E) If you're new to the game and looking to get off the couch and understand how things work, be smart like @Tanner Verhoeks and @Tim Coulter. 

No one appreciates waking up to neighbors yelling at a game...well, within reason, I guess!) 

What's the end-game here?

The industry is what it is.  

A lot of this is speculative of course but make educated guesses and if after all that you still have significant cash flow then start looking at you options for refinancing and see if there are good rates available, and terms available (it is possible your current loan is better than anything you can get now that you have it as a rental and since rates have trended upward)  In the end this is a numbers game.
