While it is possible to do deals with none of your own money, the more skin you can place, the better options you will have.

In having a discussion with a seasoned RE Investor this past week and picking his brain on the structure of his business I really deduced his success down to three main relationships:#1- He has a realtor/partner(he has skin in the game) who handles buying and selling, along with finding deals.#2- He has a "money guy" who provides him a line of credit.

Why do you even care that she wants to change to a 1 year lease since you were fine with it a month ago, and how does it benefit you to irritate the tenant?

I have several great partners with lots of skin in the game.

The more skin in the game, the more return on investment.
