I'm in the Spartanburg South Carolina area and I feel as if I already know a lot about real estate but feel as if getting that license would help me get more skin and knowledge in the game.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. 

I'd rather have my skin in the game and own some property rather than that.

My suggestion is to always put your own skin in the game.

That way I had some skin in the game but he still made a good chunk when I refinance to pay him back.

You would a agent that specialist in during short sales.

First, people with skin in the game are more likely to make it work.

There is no way I would rent in California during a mortgage moratorium without Tenant putting enough skin in the game.

I only have one property at the moment and the guy we used for taxes last year was the tax guy in my home town...not a real estate specialist.

That all changed to were the banks started requiring skin in the game and they were not going to go way out on a limb with Spec loans..
