The Reasons Why It Happens

[Christopher Smith]

It’s Quite often ive seen and spoke with countless Accredited and Sophisticated investors. And they all seem to be the same. “You have to have skin in the game.” “You have to have money.” “ Why would i waste my time on someone who cant bring anything to the table”. (This is for someone who has no deals)

I often think to myself. Is it really that true? Is it impossible to accomplish a feat of this size (Multifamily,etc) Although i do understand that money is needed and there has to be some sacrifice made. But do investors have to be so “anal” about everything that comes out of there mouth?

Ive been given options (Wholesaling, Bird Dog, Mentorship programs) and anything else in the book. But would you suggest someone do something they aren’t passionate about? Would you do it.

Im currently 19 in active duty military and a aspiring multifamily investor. Ive been searching for partners to help with funding but it seems as if i get the same response. (Im not soliciting im trying to build a relationship).

I guess my real question is this. To whoever may read this. If you didn’t come from much. But you had a drive and you don’t really sleep that much. And your dedicated to reach that point to where a lot of BP investors are. And you reach that pinnacle of success. Would you treat someone on the other side of the fence as if your better? As if you were never that low?
