Somehow I think it's better to hold onto my own money and keep that dry powder on the sidelines waiting to get into the game if there are some emergency expenditures (haha, very likely with the kinds of deals I'm thinking about in class C neighborhoods).

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

Quote from @Torrean Edwards: Quote from @Pat Parrillo: Welcome @Torrean Edwards What are some of your goals with getting back into the Real Estate game?

I don’t mind having skin in the game either, but I know using private money is key to scaling one day and would like to get some experience with it now, even if it doesn’t fund a majority of the deal. 

We're probably not going to take the risk if we're busy agents to play that game. 

The collateral is so so and some have preferences such as certain asset classes they will invest in, but generally speaking, you can obtain an equity deal with very little skin in the game. 

RE is a long term game. 

There is really no reason to roll the dice in a craps game.

I'd start small and just try to learn the game of flipping. 

Profit and loss will be a guessing game.
