you may get hung up on a few times (tough skin is a plus) again, you have to be all things to all people, part investor, part psychologist, part priest.

The flipping Market is kind of dry right now.

Such as doctor's office, vet for animals, salon, barber shop, restaurant, dry cleaners, gym, karate school,etc. 

You'll still need skin in the game unless you can find an investor or some other clever way to raise the money. 

My greatest fear is I get a mold infestation to the level that renders the property worthless or less than worthless- condemned.My initial thoughts were to run 4 dehumidifiers in the basement 24/ hours day for a week or 2 to dry things out.

With them having "skin in the game" it's not so easy to just hand someone money just because.

But I gotta start somewhere.Anyway in my experience the MLS is dry and decent deals are "pocket listing" of agents that are already in contingent or have 8 or more "offers" on it.Hope this helps.

I START FREAKING OUT (assuming they were bed bugs)So my dad tells me to get out of my car and take off all of my clothes and ditch them, instead I found the nearest Appartement complex and dived head first into the pool with a 3 piece suit on 😂I'm currently drying up, & have concluded that they were fleas not bed bugs *Sigh of relief* This is the stuff the gurus don't tell you about, but I'm enjoying every minute of this ride😂 Questions: •I'm still deciding weather or not, I should wholesale this deal or buy it & rent it out.

What I was wondering was from the LENDERS perspective - meaning if the purchase price on the new place was 675K, and we were able to talk the sellers into taking our current rentals (225K) + 450K from a bank loan, would the lender look at is as 'having skin in the game'.Hope that makes sense. 

It's common sense to understand that given two equally capable people managing a property the difference between them would come down to motivation, who has the most skin in the game, who has the most to lose, who has the most to gain, who has a personal buy in to the property, who's attentions are divided more between properties?
