I'm a vegan with a lot of energy for my age and according to my last DOT Physical this week, I'm in fantastic health. I

Am I required to have “skin in the game?”

I also like to see them have some skin in the game net of any acquisition fees. 

Most of them are going to want you to have some skin in the game. 

I have the opportunity to purchase an occupied SFR in this neighborhood with VERY healthy cash flow. 

Our instincts, coupled with our upbringing and experiences, make it impossible to avoid biases, and on the whole, I think some of them can be quite healthy for us, as they serve to help us make good choices, if we balance them with external input/info, too. 

They want you to have some actual skin in the game.

Just doesn't make business sense to use FAM (these days) unless you have thick skin, don't mind dripping water torcher, have no immediate need for the proceeds... 

There's a healthy supply of units but I noticed that each one generally comes with a monthly HOA/maintenance fee of $1000+.So let's say you buy a studio for around $300K, the HOA is generally around $1500.

Both are jobs and both generate income but values are pretty out of wack and the market is not looking too healthy so being a REALTOR® is likely the better option here.Definitely still start educating yourself on the flipping business if this is something you want to eventually get into.
