Talk to a couple and really get a feel for them, its all about building a relationship of trust and longevity if your getting into this game for the long haul!

Now she has feet in the game! 

Congrats on getting into the real estate game!

My main goal is to just get some skin in the game by the end of 2022 and purchase my first property.

But it seems like to me you have it backwards…it is usually the buyer who puts up the down payment… that is your “skin in the game”.  

The reason most rental property investors are not successful and end up out of the investing game is because they work with property managers who only sign month-to-month or one-year leases and investor incurs this cost every year or so.  

Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I am new to the Realestate game.

I have $30,000 saved up besides what I have in my other assets to get my head in the game of RE investing, should I even have to put that money down at all?

I can tell you financing for a condotel is a whole different ball game and dealing with the HOA can sometimes be a challenge.

We've done very well in most--military brings a strength and diversity to Colorado Springs, Arlington, and San Antonio but definitely are not the only game in town.
