What does the newbie do when they don't have money to put "skin in the game" to get funded?

But yes, listing agents do often play games.

Unless you park in the top parking lot close to the interstate then at night when the game lets out you are forced to drive the homeless section and it takes 45 minutes to get out on the interstate.

So I guess the end game is to help the seller any way I can and if I can make some money in the process then it's a bonus.

I think it is an interconnected game.

Seeing I have basically done this in the late 90's and everything has changed since then I basically need to unlearn everything I knew then and relearn everything now (2014), different game, different rules.

Need an investor for sure for the cash of purchasing and rehabbing but wondering if a small inexperienced dog could even get in this game.

While I have many interests, all varying from music production, video game development, cars, and even real estate, I just don't get excited about getting a degree for any of them and hoping to land a career, working that "9-5".While I will always have much to learn, I feel "ready" to take the leap and start gaining some momentum in regards to starting a business of my own, or at least owning some rental properties.

It is true that investment properties typically require 20% down, however when this option was shown to me by a pro, I don't know whether to follow the lead and label it "creative financing" or stick to the bank rules of the game and apply 20% down.

As soon as a buyer lacks said capital to afford paying the premium on their own accord the ENTIRE game changes.
