I'm not ready to act yet, probably within the next 60 days though.I'm an experienced investor, but I have been out of the game since 2008.Are you a wholesaler?

I am new to the game, although I have been doing rehabs for years...just not on my own properties.

Its just part of the game, I guess.Keep in mind there are landlords who are very flexible on their rules.

Is the game of getting good deals in Real Estate just a "good old boys club" as they say?

If a lender offers a deal where the borrower has little skin in the game or just "sweat equity" they are not giving you a loan, they are buying your project which likely you will be removed from shortly.

Tom Hanks "the hard is what makes it great"If I were an aspiring RE investor, new to the game, or just starting out and looking for the right path and info, I would beg, borrow, and borrow some more to get to this event.

I felt pretty much out of the game.

Of course you could always create a wiki tailored to this objective yourself, but there may already be a robust platform available.

I just read "Platform" by Michael Hyatt..

They all (in my experience) require the borrower to have some skin in the game.
