Vet sponsors hard: track record across cycles, fee structure, downside scenarios, investor communications, skin in the game, and third-party references.Leveraging those gains into local rentals (especially mid-to-long-term) is a great next move and gives you more hands-on control.
Krish Nair Leasing versus property management

This is a BIG issue when it comes to Realtors screening tenants as they have NO SKIN in the game, as after they get their commission they won't have to be accountable for tenant nonperformance issues!

David Kim Condo HOA wants to take out a loan - what reasonable alternatives can I propose?
23 October 2025 | 3 replies
I'll look more into hybrid/segmented special assessments.You'd think lenders would be mostly okay with these, since while it's true that only a portion of the units are responsible for repayment, the loan amount itself (their risk/skin in the game) is lowered by the same factor (slashed in half in my case).I know this is silly and I probably won't go down that route, but part of me is thinking, "I'll be the lender myself - I'll give them a less predatory (but still win-win) interest rate - if anyone has to collect interest here, why not it be me?"

Jason Malabute HAVE YOU INVESTED WITH BAM CAPITAL?
19 November 2025 | 43 replies
I have not reviewed BAM's fees but it's likely based on their representation of UNDER 10% "skin in the game" that most of their "investment" is taken from fees deducted from the money gamblers place with them and counted as equity in the deal; this is a common practice in the syndication industry.
