As long as things are structured correctly and there is alignment with skin from the other partners you trust then I think this is close to the best of both worlds.

There is always other ways to skin a cat.....

Why would you have a partner who doesn't have any skin in the game?

That's why I want to make sure we both win, not like I'm just paying him a wage.I suppose it makes sense to start out with me 100% in control, and when he has some skin in the game, then we can work out different numbers.

Hardmoney lending is sort of like being a limited partner in a real estate partnership with a little more skin in the game.

Do they require more skin in the game than HMLs?

WhileI don't know this, I would think the few brokers on BP wouldn't skin you alive working with them, guys like Marc Faulkner, Loc R., Will Barnard, Dion DePaoli or others, so I'd suggest you guys interested in getting involved pick the brains of those mentioned, you can alway ask me as well, but remember, I'm retired and not doing partnership deals, LOL.

I want to show my investor that I am vested and have a lot of skin in the game.

There are more than 1 way to skin to get your deal to the closing table.
