Make it a game to see how many friendships you can start.

Hello BP,My name is Justin Kappel and I'm new to BP and new to the whole real estate investing game.

There is almost always some "skin in the game" requirement from the borrower, in our case generally between 20-30% of the purchase. 

I can purchase a new primary residence and rent my current one out for around $600 cash flow/month which would also allow me to use a FHA loan with 3.5% down to keep more capital in the game for further investment properties. 

When you see a La Colombe flagship store you know it's game over.

It's much more important that you have a CPA that knows what they're doing and less important that you actually meet that CPA face to face.Talk to @Brandon Hall.  

I'm new to the game and aspire to cut my teeth on a few flips before settling in to a long-term buy-and-hold strategy. 

He has put together some funky stuff for me and is in the game himself. 

Explain the cafe, the bar, the meeting rooms, the convention hall, the shops, laundry facility for the hotel, these aren't residential amenities. 

Typical "skin in the game" stuff.
