Just by nature of having to source new deals on your own requires a tremendous amount of work.

It could also potentially be an interesting second home option if you set it out in a little more secluded area away from the city where people could have a little space and access to nature etc..I would be interested to hear if anyone has come up with a model for something like this that could be profitable.

Thank you for reading this any notes are appreciated.I have been studying smaller (SF) property investment for 2 years, and have yet to get "skin in the game" at any level so far.I am planning on starting this year, either big or small though preferably bigger like this property.PM's are accepted.

One of the first 3 rules of real estate investing is always buy for cash flow never for natural appreciation.

So if you sell when you leave, natural appreciation will likely not be sufficient to offset the closing costs, meaning you may end up losing money on the deal.Above, you had mentioned worse case scenario being you break even. 

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.

Some personality disordered people truly enjoy trying to aggravate and get under you skin when they get mad about something which may be completely unrelated to the stated problem.

Being a capital raiser for other's deals is completely legitimate in my book (I do it), but "Shady" doesn't even describe some of the people saying they own X amount of units without ever putting skin in the game (money) or signing on a loan.

Right now I work in a dirty, dangerous environment that is hazardous to health, so I want to transition into a new career and I really like the idea of commission based sale, love real estate, and plan on investing in the future I figure becoming a Realtor is the natural choice.

If anyone brought me a deal that I liked, I'd be more than happy to fund the whole thing and give them a portion even if they didn't have any skin in the game.
