Gotta have some skin in the game. 

This is recognized by financial planners, bankers and other experts from coast-to-coast as a valid strategy where it meets the consumer's need.I don't take ANYONE at their word because of their age, sheep skins or experience. 

People with no skin in the game are telling you it is not hte blue mans fault even based on what you told them. 

There is a reason we lenders require "skin in the game" and experience.

So i have to think the buyers your talking about are not locals who understand the local dynamics but coast buyers who dont understand that list price is just the starting point..

I'm particularly interested in:Finding Mentors: Connecting with seasoned investors who can offer guidance and insights.Networking with Professionals: Meeting real estate agents, lenders, contractors, and other professionals who can contribute to successful deals.Exploring Joint Venture Opportunities: Collaborating with other investors on potential projects.Learning About Local Market Trends: Gaining a deeper understanding of the real estate dynamics in these areas.I'm open to attending local real estate meetups or cash flow groups.

I've seen some well-known syndicators brag about having "skin in the game" when the truth is they invest $100,000 in $25 million deal but take home $250,000 or more in fees.

Over in Austin, I’ve seen people lean on new, dynamic investment advisors who understand the rental surge happening there right now.

They wouldn't have any skin in the game and could just walk away and leave you high and dry if things go wrong with the property.

For those of you actively working on fix-and-flip projects, particularly in dynamic markets like Houston, I’m curious about your approach to navigating today’s challenges.
