It is a numbers game, I send out about 30 offers before I get one owner willing to finance.     

I'm excited to hear about your decision to enter the real estate investment game.

It's a marketing game.. optimize a marketing strategy to let people know what you do.

@Tom R.Part of the game 

I am writing this as a newbie to the VR game as well so please do not take this as an expert answer.

I’m really trying to get into the game but I was wondering if I have to pay mortgage, taxes & insurance each month isn’t that getting into my cash flow?

They are in the game to make $$, and in taking your $$, they may well be taking all your profits from your property.Second, I think your move out clause is a little unreasonable. 

I am now living in MA and looking to get back into the game.

I struggle with whether I should take some money off the table and sell off some properties, reinvest in other areas that cash flow with some more room to grow on the apprecIation side, or just play the long game and ride it out.
