We live on the west side of town and a lot of the major shopping is on the east side, so we naturally drive by several times a week.  

When you consistently knock it out of the park and go above and beyond, people naturally start to trust you, whether they're investors or partners.You know the saying: trust isn't something you find lying around, waiting to be picked.

For what it's worth, I don't think you should expect your GC to put skin in the game. 

When it comes to ensuring the safety and integrity of your property, it's natural to want to conduct a background check on your tenants. 

It has come to my realization as I put up all of the money I have worked so hard for, that he has no skin in the game.

Three months of being under contract and having the deal fall apart due to you not producing any qualified buyers will get under any seller's skin. 

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

That means making repairs in a reasonable time period - given the circumstances and the nature of the repair.

There’s numbers on a piece of paper that put seller financing in a great light.And then there’s the reality of seller financing being a bet on the buyer managing and maintaining a property well for years or decades while you still have skin in the game.And a bet that the value doesn’t decline by more than the balance of the debt.And a bet that the higher “price” received because of seller financing doesn’t come with opportunity cost in the form of being able to spend or invest the liquidity day 1.And the fact that buyers with seller financing always want better terms than a bank would give them, which is real economics that sellers are far less equipped than banks to estimate risk/reward on.Seller financing is relatively rare.

Is that reasonable given the nature of the prop?
