You will need to grow a tougher skin regarding your ability to say no to tenants.  

Thanks for your prompt response as this is a bit time sensitive. 

Having no skin in the game is just not viable in this market. 

Understanding the bifurcation of the returns on a model (money made during hold vs exit) and the sensitivity analysis of what action can cause the greatest impact to the bottom line are critical.

Well if you are buying at an 8% going in today, I could argue that compressing it over 5 yrs (again depending on asset and market) to 7% is still a realistic expectation, especially if your sensitivity shows you can still make an okay return if cap rates do continue to expand.b) you need to be more patient.  

Usually banks or credit unions want you to have some skin in the game.

@Mohammed Rahman yes, that's exactly what's tricky for me... for you all it's quite simple.. it's like I show you how to apply a KCI VAC and say now it's that simple.. just prep the skin apply Elkins to the periwound apply the VAC with setting of 125mmHg .. you're gonna look at me like what the hell, lol... that's how I feel.

This is because as the maker of the deal they want you to have "skin in the game" to protect their investment into the deal.

**Faster Turnaround**: Brokers can usually provide a BOV/BPO more quickly than the time it takes to get a full appraisal, which can be useful in time-sensitive situations[1][2][3].3.

This will give you what is known as skin in the game- and make you into it actually investor - with something to invest.
