I'm new to BiggerPockets but I am not new to the real estate game!

Yes, you may be out of a few dollars due to interest but this is a part of the game.  

Good Credit, guaranteed money back, skin in the game (money down)????

I am pretty open about my business and don’t mind helping follow BPers because I really believe that real estate is not a zero sum game.

To be the former and in the game for the long term I'd encourage you to start out with the right mindset of what it takes to build a long term business and forming trust with buyers and a good reputation is a big part of that.

So grateful to have a platform such as this to assist under experienced, potential investors with getting into the game without trying to have us pay the cost of a surgery.

When I lend money to flippers I insist for them to have a skin in the game.

All a mental game. 

I grew up a total video game nerd.
