Hi All, I am very new to the Real Estate investing game and haven't pulled the trigger on any properties yet.

I don't think I need to have that exactly figured out on day 1 of my first rental purchase, I need to get into the game. 

My mother is very interested in learning more about the power of real estate and how she can get in the game.

Selling "Golden Tickets" has proven a dangerous game for many through-out REI history.

But it's in your interests to make sure the property value makes sense and the borrower has skin in the game.

You’re already ahead of the game—stick with Central Florida, and you’ll crush it!

I have not reviewed BAM's fees but it's likely based on their representation of UNDER 10% "skin in the game" that most of their "investment" is taken from fees deducted from the money gamblers place with them and counted as equity in the deal; this is a common practice in the syndication industry. 

But if your a W 2 and real estate is how you are planning on retiring by investing that is a completely different lifestyle and motivation and game plan. 

Game to collaborate with wholesalers who can help me unload this property quickly.

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.
