The only thing we can do is play the game within the rules that are currently in effect.

Every time I try to talk to him about his situation and for him to maybe consider getting into the real estate investing game I feel like I come across as an a**hole who's talking down upon him for how he has built his retirement fund the last 40 years. 

We expect many tenants to play games in the coming months. 

I am new to this real estate investment game, but I am super excited for this opportunity to gain finical freedom through real estate investment.

You might be able to get a seller carry back done with some lenders to help limit your skin in te game, some will allow it, others wont?

I'm somewhat of a newbie in the REI game and the strategies I've focused on are wholesaling to find deals and network, and buy and hold.

It's a long game.

I see your point too since networking is everything and getting/keeping deals is a huge part of the game.

Leverage is the name of the game in real estate investing.

Definitely worth getting some education and knowledge on Stocks at the moment definitely some games short term to be made.
