Good luck with that one—I doubt any syndicators would find a sympathetic jury in such a case.Scott, you and I have debated the concept of “skin in the game” for years.

Having a PMS with automated reminders has been a game-changer for us too, making it easy to manage renewals without much manual follow-up.

Potential Equity is not skin in the game. 

Playing the long game, it's not for those chasing rainbows, definently for the LT planned methodical focus. 

Vacation rentals are a cash flow game really.

That is a dangerous game to play with students.

I've even heard of GCs using auction type settings for returned items at Home Depot and Lowes for steep discounts.I've learned a lot about the GC game as I was up close to over 40 projects last two years and some went well and some did not and when they did not it was all Contractor related.If a GC isn't sourcing cheap materials at the same time milking the hell out of his 150-200 per day workers, then you can find yourself eating into your margins real fast. 

Kind of like a game of craps.
