A private money or hard money lender is going to want to see that you're financially stable and have some 'skin in the game' so to speak, with some of your own capital.

Higher lacking in social skills asking the cool kids how fit in 😂I know I've only scratched the surface and would love to know how you're finding the forums most helpful.Thanks a bunch,-Dan

there is a publication called Scottsman guide.. this will list a lot of the top lenders.keep in mind HML want to see some experience and skin in the game to get decent rates. 

Also traditional lenders will require that you have 35% "skin" in the game.

Buying an investment with existing tenants may sound nice on the surface but it can come with a lot of problems.Buying a vacant property and finding your own tenants has additional challenges because you don't know what you're doing.I recommend passing on both deals.

Having said that, if you have zero skin in the game, and don't have something to offer like experience or a trade skill, it is definitely a hard sell to an investor, you need to be able to establish confidence in you with the investor.

Your skin will become tougher with every problem tenant.

Will he have skin in the game?

Now I am simply settled in with tenants with whom I have a respected, professional relationship.I have a thick skin and fulfill my duties so it wouldn’t phase me.
