The rest can really only be learned through "on the job training" I've got the fundamentals relatively down and I'm ready to begin analyzing properties and finally getting some skin in the game!

Pay them well, maybe make them a minor partner so they have skin in the game....?

To get skin in the game I am interested in starting out with house-hacking but I would love to hear advice from investors on how you started out in REI, what you may believe is the best route and if there any more methods towards learning more about Real Estate Investing.

I am analyzing properties and saving with my wife to finally get some skin in the game, but in the meantime, I would love the opportunity to shadow or apprentice under anyone for anything to get a more in-depth look at how the process works.

This brings me back to my list of various ways we can skin this and wondering what others might see that we haven't, or have new ideas we haven't thought of. 

Find a deal 3. find a partner/investor. with you it'll be easier because you will have skin in the game (unlike me).

Gotta have skin in the game and experience IMO. 

Also, maybe important players such as the architect, contractor, and others should be investors in the project, believers in the vision and they’ll have skin in the game so the product will be made well.2.

Hard money/private money lenders normally require you to have some skin in the game (more than 20k) for your first deal or either to put down as a down payment or as collateral/reserves.  

There's a questionnaire we have borrowers fill out but its not something that will kill a deal. what i'm interested in knowing here is how much skin in the game you have.
