It's the best way to determine if you are winning or losing in this game.

You May have to share a % of equity with him but he will have real skin in the game then. 

A true TK will have their own PM team.... full skin in the game. 

Soon you will find a network of higher net worth investors who got out of the sfh direct investment game and now laugh at this race to 10.

I also track auction.com and Amlin auctions, but I've never pulled the trigger on any as I need a little more cash to get in the auction game.

The game plan was to fund with a commercial loan upfront, and reinvest all of the initial cash flow back into the property so that I could ultimately pull my capital out.

Definitely swings the numbers a little bit, but the extra ~$500 / year for a SFH or duplex shouldn't change the game too much.

Along side that I'm wanting to get in to the buy and hold rental game in a few ~B- neighborhoods.I've never worked with a buying agent before, and they usually seem to be focused either on "homes" or "investments".
