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

My wife and I moved from Montana to Northern Kentucky 10 years ago, though I'm originally from North Central, Ohio.It was around that time that I read the books 4-Hour Work Week and Rich Dad Poor Dad, which both lit a fire in me to better understand this idea of passive income to reach financial freedom for myself and retirement for my father.I've spent this past year immersing myself in dozens of books, listening to hundreds of hours of podcasts, networking with realtors, and studying as much as I can about this industry.

It seems to me that if the investor has enough skin in the game and the ARV is sufficient, that mitigates a lot of the risk. 

I have been in the retail commercial leasing game for 4.5 years (shopping malls, shopping centers, restaurant and street leasing) as a real estate salesperson.

@Michael Ealyi wish I understood that lol but I’m new to the game and have little knowledge on this stuff.

I'm here for the endurance game though, and have the drive and persistence to learn it all!

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

I’m trying to get into this game & wholesale seems like the only other for me , I have little to no capital .

All with just 3.5-5% down.On the other hand, investing upstate or OOS can get you in the game at a significantly lower price point and give you a better shot at cash-flowing.

You always play the appreciation game.
