Im wondering if I will get in some sort of trouble.

Personally, I'd be nervous to not get some type of deposit from my guest because I like for them to have "skin in the game" 

They want an investor to have some serious skin in the game.The other option would be to wholesale this opportunity to somoene and make a few bucks to save so you have some money for a downpayment in the future.

At this point, we are three years in, and have learned that you sometimes have to have thick skin (grit) in dealing with tenants, managers, and RV site visitors; while maintaining a sense of humor and humility.

There are several great ones in Dallas, but I'll bet these days most want you to have some skin in the game, so no 100% financing and also financing of renovation costs. 

If you don't pay he gets the park back and your asset.That would put me at more ease, knowing that you have skin in the game, and are going to pay me.Gino

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

I would say 90 percent of all homes in the outer banks are in a str program of some sort.

@Corey Block You may want to talk to a few companies who do this sort of thing in your area.

The other options you are playing with fire as using a HELOC that is paying interest is essentially buying with 100% financing.Having no skin in the game has always been a high risk strategy and people were able to get away with it the past few years due to the money supply and inflation but I would not use that as the measuring stick.
