I got advice from so many lawyers and CPAs that had never done anything, no experience, no skin in the game. 

The seller is now requesting to see the estimates from our contractors and foundation specialist. 

We both have a set monthly contribution to the "our's", and it's just that simple.In this way, she can JV into something btu if chooses not to, it's no skin off my back, as i do my own thing.

The only downside I see, is on a spreadsheet, usually the more "skin" you put in a property the lower your COC % goes down, but profitability is more important than that.  

I have thick skin 😁The first step to implementing my plan is sourcing capital.

I ask my investor friends to make introductions and ask GC's for specialists they trust.Treat it like finding a good mechanic.

I would consult with an appliance specialist to find a more long term solution rather than a short term fix.

That's when you have some skin in the game and have the right to look at components in detail. 

If you can master systems like a champ, and master the art of the tenant screening with ability to put on rhino skin for when it's a tenant nightmare, it could be your honey-hole. 

We have capital to get skin in the game but our immediate short term goals are: 1.
