Need Lenders advice (Using equity partners for down payments)

[Rashawn Stevens]

Hey BP, I have been reading through some of the forums and I see some mixed opinions on this subject, Here's the question: If you are trying to get a loan from a Hard Money Lender and you don't have enough money for a down payment and your credit isn't the best and you deiced to bring in a partner 50/50 partner who has the money for a down payment giving you guys skin in the game. Would a Hard money lender not approve this loan or look down upon this?
