I currently have a full-time job, but I plan on doing REI full time when I can replace my job income with passive income.I am very happy to meet all of you and exchange ideas in this great game of real estate investing!

Tenants leaving early and trashing properties are part of the game.

I am in the Columbus, OH market looking for a good realtor who really knows the game.

The reason I'm investing and learning the game is because I'm just not one to do what everyone else does.

numbers game.

I live in Las Vegas and I play " poker" for a living..

YOU cannot win the game of credit without understanding the rules..... funny how these rules are nowhere to be found on any of the bureaus websites nor will they send you the rules if you request them.

Careful with friends.Buy and hold on Lease Options is the game right now.

From that point, you probably want to start lower as most sellers will want to play the negotiating back and forth game, so better to start lower and do not go over your set max price.Also, identify the average vacancy rate over the last 10 years+ and include that in your expenses.

Then you go and negotiate the best deal for yourself because you're keeping everything below your buyer's estimate.This is how I prefer to do it.It just requires close relationships, and this is a people business first, and a numbers game second.Paul
