They openly state their game plan in podcasts and how easy it is to evict people and just take over their home because they can’t afford to move it!  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

Although I probably get killed on transaction fees which is part of why I am not pulling the trigger (along with lack of time to execute well).There are games you can play for increasing your returns in the stock market (sector rotations, rebalancing, being a good company picker) but you lack operational control. 

Yes, we pay a fee for the coaching, that many of us feel is fully worth the cost, maybe having "skin-in-game" makes us more likely to take action and be excited about the company, but that is for you to decide.

It’s a great place to network, learn, and level up your investing game, whether you’re just starting out or already have a few properties.

Your nightly rate will be influenced by proximity to the beach, interior design and amenities (ex game options, fire pit, pool, etc).

With this scenario we both have skin in the game: His work and my materials.

Many sellers will not accept this since they are in second position, and it is very risky since if you default (higher probability for investors with no money and/or no skin in the game), they will most likely be wiped out during a foreclosure.

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.
