Please advise.regards,Jane Hi welcome to Bigger Pockets!!!!

Gotta think big and go big, it's a numbers game after all.

The long game is to get cash by fixing and flipping and then get more

I want the rents set to $1100 and she is willing to pay the $200 out of pocket each month.

Real estate is a people game, you have to meet and get to know people and it has to be fairly organic.

Instead of tv & video games you can immerse yourself in the podcasts & webinars.

Then you have "skin in the game" and maybe you split profits 50/50 but also have split ownership of the property in an LLC?  

I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts ad nauseum for several months now while I work for my father (when I'm not working with clients I keep the money flowing by doing so) and one of the main things that I have taken away from all of the guests is the majorities' response to the question of "what do you think separates successful investors from those who give up, fail, or never get started with investing?"

You can only learn so much from Bigger Pockets and other resources.

If you're in the short game trying to capitalize on market fluctuations or appreciation, the risk is that you might buy at the top of the market and get stuck overpaying with few exit options.if you're playing the (really) long game, then it matters much less.
