If there was a team that developed an online game where you could simulate real estate investing, crunch numbers, find properties, and sell and lease homes it would be lucrative.

We won't always get lucky on the appreciation game so the emphasis should be on getting a good deal upfront. 

Hi BP fam - looking to get into the game with our first small multi family (2-4 units) rental in the Midwest (Toledo OH, Cincinnati OH, Indianapolis IN, etc). 

I don't use deal machine so take this with a grain of salt.  

I’m going to go against the grain and say you should learn how to find an off market deal.The method will depend on budget and preference, but once you realize if you buy good enough deals you don’t need down payments that’s a game changer.  

@Ricardo Gomez - Welcome to BP and congrats for deciding to get into the real estate game. 

The game is to get you to pay for some type of fictional service to initiate the loan process.

They started recommending board games and all of this other weird stuff.

Just the name of the game.

If you're not immersed in this game you won't find any deals.
