I’m still relatively new to the real estate game (2 rentals owned in just under 6 months of investing) and have been coming across different strategies to buy properties.

This is why it is wise to flip in the markets where there is no new construction competition.Pay attention to SSD (Specific Supply and Demand), also pay attention to GSD (General Supply and Demand).Stay on your game and keep watching the numbers or the market will eat your lunch and dinner

Don't jump into the game without a safety net.

I agree wtih Ehsan that this is a numbers game and that you should invest some of your cash flow into finding your next property.You need to get a bit creative when it comes to your marketing to find property to buy.

I’m newer to the real estate game as I just bought my first property with a business partner and we plan to rehab, hold for five years, and sell and keep rolling into bigger deals. 

I am still not sold that Trenton is the place but research and education is the name of the game.  

. · No large dogs For Flight.The problem is, unless/until the laws are changed, there are some folks that are always going to game the system and they will get over on you. 

I think it would be a hard business to start if you and the investors you work with were all brand new to the game. 

I make the bulk of the money via Homeaway/Vrbo and very very little on Airbnb.Yes our lake house makes money well above just paying for itself.Our house is close to a University so we get extra rentals from home game weekends, graduation etc.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.
