Hello Tiffani Hollis, Congratulations on stepping into the realestate game.

We had been to lots of seminars and guru programs looking for a way to get into the real estate game. 

Don't play the blame game.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Learn everything about real estate like it's your favorite video game and show your wife how passionate you are and how much you believe in real estate.

Thank you Nick - unfortunately it is the name of the game in this space that there will be people with bad experiences, typically when the appraised value doesn't come in as what they expect and they lash out at the lender accordingly (anyone in this space obviously understands this occurrence). 

Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

The odds of default go up significantly for those who have no skin in the game.

I took a break from reading "Money: Master the Game" by Tony Robbins to read all of your hurdles.
