Hey everyone, looking at jumping into this real estate game full time and am very excited and motivated!

They are playing the appreciation or cash preservation game and don't care as much about returns. 3.

Real estate investors who are used to the fix and flip game often have a hard time wrapping their head around why non performing notes are something that they should spend some time looking into for their real estate investments.

For $1500/mo rental rate, up to $3600 in yearly maintenance is fair game. 

I would say buy a rental and use to cash to reinvest and buy more rentals so by the time you retire you will have a nice money making machine assembled.

And thanks to all of you doing the work and inspiring me to get in the game!

My partner and I are intent on buying in Oakland as our primary goal is winning the 2 - 3 year game on appreciation.

Looking to get back in the game and eventually turn it full time.My biggest challenge now is locating and making a deal on something that makes sense.  

Most lenders like to see you have some "skin in the game" , so may need a down payment and some closing costs at the very least - however , there are still opportunities to wholesale or bird dog which does not require down payment money but may be a lot more difficult without a marketing budget.

Part of landlording game, but hopefully you will have a much better experience now that you have had the opportunity to screen your own tenants moving in.
