I also want high skin in the game, conservative leverage and reasonable fees.Open-door isn't a match for me (and an easy "no") because they don't have that type of experience.

Glad you enjoyed even if your end game is different. 

it's a volume game. 

I'm new to the real estate game and wanted to try out the Omaha area since I'm stationed at Offutt AFB.

It's a numbers game. 

Not know what Eddie Speed is all about, is there a game plan you have for notes?

This is why you need to do a ton of due diligence on them and make sure they have skin and the game and something to lose.

The marketing isnt that important in my opinion but the professional photo/ video is a huge game changer and I dont believe that someone is going to make much profit at .5% on the listing side.

Then the buyer walked because he actually didn't have his financing lined up so it was all a game. 

How come you don't see the excitement you could have, of asking yourself all those questions at your desktop, if only you had some skin in the game?
