Good Credit, guaranteed money back, skin in the game (money down)????

A benefit would be the ability for either party simply to engage in the transaction, if they could not otherwise do so without access to the funds of the other party.  

I am pretty open about my business and don’t mind helping follow BPers because I really believe that real estate is not a zero sum game.

THU NGUYEN my personal opinion is, first you have more control how to invest and being engaged at war zone level and second with buy and hold strategy you will build equity and build wealth overtime (long term if you hold your property).

To be the former and in the game for the long term I'd encourage you to start out with the right mindset of what it takes to build a long term business and forming trust with buyers and a good reputation is a big part of that.

So grateful to have a platform such as this to assist under experienced, potential investors with getting into the game without trying to have us pay the cost of a surgery.

When I lend money to flippers I insist for them to have a skin in the game.

All a mental game. 

I grew up a total video game nerd.

It sounds like you are on the right track to get in the game early and be successful, keep it up!
