Im a new investor with no skin in the game.

As to HML providing funds most HML would want skin in the game.

Here are my thoughts and game plan, please let me know if you've done this, have ideas on if this is a good route to take, or any opinions and input would be greatly appreciated.To start out I've been saving money for a down payment for an FHA loan, just so I can get some skin in the game using traditional financing.

Instead of the 2" upper strip of mosaic he's got 6" luckily the mastic wasn't dry and I could remove them.

A little thin skinned are we? 

Keep your fingers crossed that the rush to buy land, any land on dry ground, South of Progress Village and Bloomindale continues because companies like Amazon pay outrageous prices for raw land just South of you in Ruskin to build enormous warehouse busineseshttp://www.tampabay.com/news/business/realestate/a...and that the Port of Manatee will be built out, like planned, to be a big container port for the Panamax ships that will be sailing into Tampa Bay to offload everything from China.

Gosh, I sound ridiculous saying that, but I've been buying MFs and SFs and I have the money and thick skin to go bigger.

The property I just purchased needs some minor repairs (some dry wall in bathroom & ceiling need to be replaced, leaky faucets, proper mounting of A/C units, installation of smoke alarms, missing circuit breakers)My plan would be to fly down to meet the contractors, get quotes and then come back at the end to inspect the work.  

People talked about buying REO properties for 20 years, then supply and demand adjusted and that's a dry well.People have talked about wholesaling for 10 years or so, now that well is MOSTLY dry too.Meaning that at some point, the furnished rental thing will be a dry well too.

When my REO business dried up and I hadn't bought any houses for a while I just listened to the podcasts to keep my mind open to the possibilities of making it in this business.
