But what I can tell you is if you want to reach out to sellers directly, you need a thick skin.

Talking with people and facing rejection and insults takes a thick skin, and not everyone can develop it.

I know in this business you are supposed to be thick skinned but you are also human sometimes.

It looks like this has been on your mind for some time by looking at your last few posts.It sounds to me like you're looking for a different way to skin a cat.

And why so much discontent about today’s society when only 50 years ago our society was lynching people for having a different color of skin.

I started charging refundable fees for viewings (which wouldn't work for an apartment complex, but if a stranger wants to walk through my house, they need to have some skin in the game!)

The proposal sounds promising, and I wanted to reach out to see if anyone here has experience with this type of arrangement.The investor has offered to give me $10,000 upfront, which seems to indicate that he has some skin in the game.

In my experience people ho have no skin in the game tend to care less about keeping the property up than those that have to work to have it.

You didn't mention it, but will he have any skin (money) in this deal?

I know that getting your skin in the game is probably one of the best learning experiences so excited to get started.Best,Joe
