Gotta have some skin in the game. 

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. 

Dear Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area, my name is Gabe and I'm relatively new to the real-estate game- but I'm eager to learn.

To me it’s a challenging game, an intricate puzzle where if you learn how to play you get great results.

I recently came across a piece in Forbes talking about how quickly rental dynamics can evolve when population growth spikes.I’m based in Phoenix and have been in the real estate game for three decades, and a close friend of mine recently reminded me how the right connections can shape your entire strategy.

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

Nothing wrong with being a bit new - there are options out there for all stages of the game. 

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. 

I'm pretty new to the game and would love to get some advice from more experienced investors here!

Should I re evaluate what strategy I should use and maybe look further out in places such as Rochester and BRRR properties out thereHey @Jared Leggett, I know I'm jumping in here late in the game, and I have to admit that I haven't read all the many comments you've gotten, but I wanted to provide what I imagine and glean is a contrary view.It is easy to dunk on NYC for young investors starting out, but if you are a first time homebuyer you can buy a $1M property with $35k down (+ closing costs which can be avoided with seller's concessions).
