They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

It is sales and you really have to have tough skin and not be afraid of “NOs.”

I would find a partner (with skin in the game) in any area that interested me.

Some skin in the game like that would gain my trust, but at this point I'm back to looking for my own property.

Either way, they get paid --- basiclaly.As mentioned above, if somebody is doing a PM function, they should get paid as a PM.As they say, one needs to have "skin in the game." 

Sponsors like this will not have the highest projected IRR, and are also generally keeping leverage low, which again drives down the projected IRR.If you are conservative, then another thing you are going to want to see is a lot of sponsor skin in the game to mitigate the fact that the promote incentivizes them to push the risk envelope.

No one has more "skin in the game" than a PMC as they have to deal with the property every day until an owner sells or fires them.Also recommend finding your own Inspector and not one referred by an agent.

You'll have skin in each property but repeat until you run out of capital.
