And in 10-15 years it’ll be game over with all your collected equity, meaning multi millions.

And while your long term plans are to ultimately open your own brokerage, you can "get into the game" by doing something that has proven to be very successful to me in my years of investing, and that is sending offers to owners directly.

As of now I have a solid network of laborers each with their own specialty of trades at really good prices, my partner, has been a contractor for over 30 years himself and managed many flipping properties and has a good understand about the industry.

Go all out and play the risk game alongside others who have a low cost portfolio to keep them afloat if disaster strikes?
