He is a MFH owner so he has experience and skin in the game.

skin!

You still need skin in the game. 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

You'll actually have some skin the game.

I've found from my experience and the experience of a few of my colleagues if you can find a way to both have skin in the game it's the best.

The tenant has zero skin in the game.

Second, it will be a rare seller indeed who will choose your offer with 3% or 5% down instead of someone else who will put in 20-25% as they will have more skin in the game AND they appear to be more financially secure in that they can afford to pay that amount.Now that I'm done being a negative Nancy, I think the multifamily option is the right track.

‘Putting skin in the game’ not only gives you credibility in the future, it forces you to think as an owner.You need to educate yourself, take short term action aligned with mid and long term goals.Best wishes

You don't just need thick skin, you need leather-like skin to handle it.
