The buyer must have 20% to 30% "skin in the game." 

Hi everyone,My husband and I are just starting out in the real estate investing game.

Does the sponsor have skin in the game?

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

and you can find an almost unlimited variation on risk ( from low to high leverage, both floating and fixed rate debt, from no to high skin in the game, etc).

Its a game of failure... its a numbers game.

They got in the game when rates were low and it was easy to find cashflow plays. 

In my opinion, this is far more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.The two best strategies I know are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be costly, but it can also lead to deeply discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

You will need to really start playing the long game though and focus on securing assets that have good underlying fundamentals as you will need to get more creative with the financing if you want to keep moving quickly.

Account Closed - I am trying to map out a game plan for my next investment, and a good friend of mine who is an experienced realtor wants me to consider Section 8 because he has a client who is an investor making very good money off of it.
