And by the contractor having skin in the game, the GC would not likely draw our the process and it would be done quicker with attention to the finished product since he/she will profit from a home that will sell quickly.

I've got pretty thick skin so I don't see those areas being a problem for me.  

I am a person with thick skin, and your comment did not bother me, but there are probably some new BP members who would have taken your comment negatively and it would have probably killed all confidence that they had. 

@Nick Belsky great point, also some syndicators have more "skin" in the game because they believe in the investment that much

Additionally, most private lenders want to see their partner have some skin in the game.

He will ask you to bring $5-$15K to the closing table so you have skin in the game. 

I'm technically not raising money from other investors although my parents would have "skins in the game" as their asset will be collatorized

I have heard several times before when a general contractor that is supposed to handle the remodel has no skin in the game and stops showing up.

Many ways to skin the cat :).

Buyers should not be able to go and put in an offer without any skin in the game in my opinion.
