It's just part of the game, if you decide to play.  

My name is Matt Virnau, and I am from La Grange, TX.  I am Active Duty Military currently stationed in Western Washington, but my plan is to eventually make my way back to the great state of Texas! I just put my first...

On the other hand if you don't understand it and don't educate yourself about it you should be in that game anyway.

Sounds like a good game plan Ryan.

I am ready to get back into the game.

Then you play the follow-up game!

I am transacting 1 deal in the portfolio for my buyer where they are transacting 20 for a set price so it's not my problem.Yet again others will say co-op is 2.5% like the seller is paying 5% total but they play games.

I am attempting to get some skin in the game, learn the numbers, etc etc and it is tough.  

@Allie Bloyd welcome to the game!

I personally would rather be an investor/landlord willing to help than not to, as I have found the ethical approach to what my parents always told me growing up to "always treat others as you'd like to be treated" to be very fruitful in this game of life (and real estate) we all play.
