The easiest way to win this game to become and expert craftsman of the tools you wield.

However, now I'm motivated to get my losses back and get back into the game again.

Being a little newer to the game we are still working on developing capital.

You'll be impressed and it's been a game changer for the way investors track and analyze the metrics here in CA. 

You mention commercial sale, tri is commercial so I'm not sure what you mean by that being my end game. $100k is it, the property is rough. 

Go thru the trash , once its at the curb its on a public right of way and fair game 

Because we are new to the game, inventory being low and the demand high- we are having a hard time competing.We have been listening to BiggerPockets podcasts for about 2 months now and we are ready to see where a little active participation can take us.

I'm not trying to be a downer by asking this, but as someone wanting to jump into the game, I have some big concerns regarding buying now and the ability of GTA (and outlying) properties to produce cash flow. 

The name of the game is leverage.

My goal was just to get a starting price from them and avoid the old game of no you first, no you first , no you first.
