Also, I don't need the money.I was thinking along on the line of having too much equity is too much exposure or skin in the properties.I know that even full time experts are having trouble finding great MF deals with cap rated crunched the way there are.. what chance do I have?

Or 2, don't most conversations start on the phone where skin color would not even be an issue?

@John Colin Rogers I am glad you are focusing on self improvement and bettering yourself but ANY complaint you make about your upbringing, status, skin color or any internal struggle that you may be having is a seed that you are planting- an excuse.

I tend to agree, if I feel the risk and I'm not an underwriter with potential skin in, I would imagine an underwriter would have a field day with this.

Sometimes things happen for a reason......right.Times like this, I guess patience and a thick skin will have to prevail.

Well then, put some skin in the game and show that people are going to invest in success. 

That is why I get the upfront money so they have skin in the game.

Communication has always been the sticking point for me as I am not quick to trust my investment to someone with no skin in the game and who hasnt' gotten my ok on spending my money.In my mind it might be better to find a realtor or other money partner in long distance properties and pay them a management fee for that service. 

VC's are savvy, knows how too DD much better, but probably can see right through this stuff much faster than us and if they didn't put some "skin in the game" here, that said a lot to me. 

Here is one play on bulk purchases, however there are many ways to skin this cat.Hedge fund or Private equity player will buy anything at a steep discount if they can have a very reasonable chance of selling it higher.
