The government has strict rules on rent to own and the irs has changed the game

Many of us have been in this game for a very, very, very long time, and I am confident saying that none of us have most things figured out. 

Such a good, comprehensive overview and introduction to help us keep perspective on all the ways to develop our businesses.

The area where the duplex is, is being (albeit slowly) renovated, there quite a bit of development going on and prices are definitely on the move in Daytona Beach.

If you have to use hard money to buy the place, plus utilities, this could be $1000/month out of your pocket till the project is finished.There are so many moving parts to this game, I keep thinking of other small (or large) details. 

It's a numbers game so it's not impossible, you'll just have to shift the numbers & resources to your side. 

Just getting started in the rental game, looking at 2-4 families (owner occupied) in providence, RI and Merrimack valley area in MA.

Thinking of it as in the way Robert K mentioned that life is a game of Monopoly.

There is definitely more than enough investors around, and so your game plan just has to take that into consideration.

Feels like getting in the game now is better, to learn and start creating opportunities.
