This is all indications of a super sensitive earnings, extremely sticky projected inflation, and the bond market being way in front of the Fed. 

I've seen some well-known syndicators brag about having "skin in the game" when the truth is they invest $100,000 in $25 million deal but take home $250,000 or more in fees.

People with no skin in the game are telling you it is not hte blue mans fault even based on what you told them. 

An time sensitive opportunity came across my table for a purchase of properties in a bundle.

They wouldn't have any skin in the game and could just walk away and leave you high and dry if things go wrong with the property.

it is technically a real thing but very rare, and there is plenty of historical data out there that shows those who have less skin in the game are at a far greater risk of default by a factor of 5-7x.
