So you will need to have skin in the game.

You just have to get in the game, learn, and adapt as you go. 

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. 

For me, I’ve been testing a few different methods recently, but I’m always looking for new ideas to take my wholesaling game to the next level. 

Based on your advice to newer investors, should I play the long term game by paying off my house early (2030)?

Adding additional bathrooms (like a master ensuite) can be a game-changer.3.

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.

I don't know what the issue is/was, but I think a lot of customers want to play games and he probably did his best to keep them on the straight and narrow. 

I would guess that you have little or no experience running any kind of STR, and now want to get that experience on the back of someone else's investment, with little or no personal skin in the game, and that's not a good way to build an investment portfolio.

But from my limited time in the game, I’ve found that my complete lemons are cash cows a few years later as market rent comes up well and my cap ex fixes a few years ago have paid off.
