With that being said I would like to say that Do Hard Money is a good company to work with, but do not get disillusioned into thinking that you won't need any of your own skin in the game!

I also have thick skin and shrug off foolish remarks.

I would think with that kind of cash to put "Skin in the game" you should be able to get "hard money" for flips.

Most want 20% skin in the game.  

I would never accept a tenant on the promise that they will "quit" smoking without considerable skin in the game.

You didn't say what the price point was, but 20% down would generally be adequate skin in the game and enough to cover repairs if you end up getting it back. 

You want to keep this mixture off of your skin though..

And the 10K can be used as your contribution/skin into the deal.

Better to have the legal framework in place by a knowledgeable professional with zero skin in the game, than to have an ambiguous setup that costs several thousands to unravel.

However, many portfolio lenders will want to see skin in the game so you may have to put some cash down regardless of how cheap you buy it.
