It's good to have healthy passions, but we also need to set boundaries and have balance.

But during the crash (and it is extremely hard to call when to sell), the property we had stayed rented and rents kept flowing, and it helped prove that having different income streams is important to a healthy portfolio while we waited out the stock market returning to normal.  

But you get the point there is all sorts of ways to skin the RE cat.If one is going to go out of state Like Ali Boone is always talking about.. that's fine most anyone who has read my post knows were I stand on this..

I do have list of lenders but with all of them they require some skin in the game.

Don't get me wrong you can use that as a down payment on a rental or your skin in the game on a rehab flip but you just aren't going to be able to buy a house and rehab it without any financing coming into play.

And to compound it the borrower had no skin in the game and is 100% leveraged another idot idea and one I would not partake in.

Good revenue (high ROI of at least 15% cash-on-cash basis on deals ranging from 3-12 months).There are other roles in the real estate deals, but they generally don't have skin in the game and are paid as part of processing the transaction (real estate agent, loan agent, appraiser, home inspection, property management, etc.).If you want to get into real estate, decided on your role based on your strengths and weaknesses.God Bless You!

So that is in addition to any "skin in the game" that they want?  

More than that, I want to be able to give back to my community by helping other children that need a positive role model as well as healthy food to eat after school. 

That will allow me to use the most precious commodity, time, for healthy and important things.
