Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that. 

We could also play the present value to who game?

I am new to the game with 1 property leased to section 8 under my belt and was about to buy another.

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

I want to have a game plan in action prior to reaching out to lenders. 

I’m an investor and student of the game when it comes to building passive income and a solid portfolio.

Agree 100% especially if they don't have capital and a capital sponsor wants 75% or more - something better than nothing especially when you don't have skin in the game 

A borrower really needs to have at least some "skin in the game" to make lenders feel comfortable.

On the surface, it’s a game-changer.

Include some outdoor games (cornhole, foursquare).
