A neighbor of mine has a "medical dog" who can sense changes in blood pressure which can be life threatening for what looks to be an otherwise healthy man.  

We don't see very many great deals in the small multifamily community, but with that type of growth our single family rental numbers should be strong, even with our healthy market. 

My grandma happens to be very old and her health is failing and I recently talked with my parents about buying her house from them after she passes.

Good, healthy partnerships are difficult and the more people you add to it the harder it will be to keep everyone happy over the long term. 

You do have to be willing to either pay that amount back or loose it if the investment doesn’t work out.A healthy cash flowing deal may be safer.

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.

Now this is not my first property, so have a healthy return.

Banks and a hard money lenders will want a borrower to show skin in the game.

@David Johnson Sounds like he was trying to wholesale your wholesale without having any skin in the game....

A bit of background info:1) My wife and I after 30 years of working have a healthy stock portfolio.
