Hello, I am completely new to real estate investing and was hoping to find out from people who have been in the game for a while what a realistic earning potential would be from accumulating long term rentals over time. 

Real Estate is the long game, not the get rich quick theme we hear on social media. 

I guess I just rolled with it because I had 45 days to play the game or call in my chips with a +30% payout to the government.   

You can find loads of articles, videos, and online courses that'll give you a solid foundation in construction basics.Network and Find a Mentor: Try connecting with people who've been in the game for a while.

But I looking at the long game - I want valued tenants that take care of the property and minimize wasting my time.

This is part of the game.
