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

@Gregory Halliday Welcome to the Game!

Hello BP Members, Lately I have been thinking that the whole residential real estate game is too time consuming and is super tiring. 

If it is hobby money or money you are willing to lose, then that is a different ball game than real estate investing.

So yeah I have had no luck except playing the banks waiting game.

Here are my few feel free to add more.Flexible (this game is unpredictable so you have to be willing to adjust accordingly).Patience (Especially in the beginning it takes time to get systems in place and people in place). 

Again I have no skin in the game yet myself, been educating and analyzing like crazy to this point.

If you decide to sell the hotdogs at the game for $1.50 cents more and pocket the extra .50, you have broken your implied fiduciary responsibilities.

It's a numbers game, but the lead flow can be overwhelming (and garbage) if you know how to do FB ads.

Fixeds would have me paying until that crash happens but HELOCs let me only pay when I use the money which I think is a better fit for my 'waiting game'.Of course, I agonize that maybe I'm just losing time by not investing aggressively right now with all the money I could possibly get but, for now, I'm trying to be more conservative (as opposed to the last five years of aggressive investing).
