This property is going to be a money pit for a while, but long game will most likely show a profit or at least not a loss.  

How much skin in the game is the borrower providing?

The Real Estate Game by William Poorvu is one of my favorites. 

Eventually, you're out of the game, and blaming it on bad hands.

And what kind of skin in the game you would have. 

New listeners really need to understand that RE is a long game and bringing back people that have been doing it for a long time and getting that perspective would definitely be worthwhile. 

I've been playing the long game and will continue to do so, but what I am seeing is that my road is just more challenging than my sister's was and may not have the ceiling she had. 

I've only been in the game since 2022 so I don't have anything to report yet!

They have less skin in the game than a tenant who stands to lose their home if evicted and sued.

If the person wants to play stupid games: two years.
