Quote from @Bree Jimenez: There are many ways to skin a cat, but you should choose one way and stick with it until you figure it out or learn that it's not working.

Overall, that doesn't drive up the price of homes like tech markets tend to.We tend to lean towards a healthy balance of linear markets that are starting to have "something" that people are moving there for.

If you wanted to, you could simply hire one of the many other PM's out there, rent the thing for $1,200+ and them sell it in 10-15 years for a healthy profit.

When the properties are paid off, you’ll probably have a healthy profit.

Potential Equity is not skin in the game. 

It does not matter whether you are starting a real estate business, restaurant, car wash, or amazon commerce business - the lender will first look at you and your partner and how much skin you have in the game, your experience and the risk of the loan not getting paid. 

There are companies out there that have 0 skin in the game and are just referral sources and there are others who are vertically integrated so they own/manage the entire process from start to finish. 

So after a long and healthy Tech career I thought it was time for a change.

But lately have had a hard time finding anything to BRRR or even with enough skin to flip.

Good luck with that one—I doubt any syndicators would find a sympathetic jury in such a case.Scott, you and I have debated the concept of “skin in the game” for years.
