I am from bay area where real estate investment becomes so difficult.  I

Howdy @Pete SchwanSorry to here about your difficulties.  

Then you have "skin in the game" and maybe you split profits 50/50 but also have split ownership of the property in an LLC?  

Investors have skin in the game and own.Brokers - well, they make the investors broker.  

To me it almost seems kinda like a wholesale deal but even if I end up holding the property for longer than I want it's no skin of my back because the property will be cash flowing.

What is your skin in the game if you default?

Our insurance agent was working on getting us some sort of blanket policy that covered up to the purchase price only, but he's having difficulty because we often have mobile homes.

I welcome a conversation on the difficulties and your experiences to address the above mentioned questions/ complexities. 

I can put some skin in the game... maybe $35k.
