Real estate is building wealth via the long game.

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.

They are playing numbers game.

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

There are a lot of owners that have great purchase prices and 3 to 4% Interest rates that bought 5, 10 or more years ago.If you want to jump into the STR market game now in competitive markets you better run your numbers conservatively and you need an appealing location and property to be competitive. 

Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

I understand it's a long term game.

REI is usually a long game in regards to building wealth.

Horrible idea for many reasons...1) Without a decent down payment ~20%, it's very unlikely you'll cashflow after all expenses 2) Sounds like this would be a highly leveraged property - high leverage when rates are high is a dangerous game to play.

It's accelerated a lot from there but real estate is and always will be a long-game.
