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. 

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.   

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

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.

Real estate is a long game and waiting is the hardest part. 

I've been in the real estate game for over 20 years and have done my fair share of transactions, including condos and multifamily properties.

If you are going to do a game room and want it to move the needle then you need to really do it.  

Buyers are out there, and with fewer investors jumping in due to concerns, there's less competition snagging those good deals.If you're considering moving forward, connecting with someone who knows the Tampa scene inside and out could be a game-changer.
