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.

We got a quote from Kinetico which we know is top of the line but it was a bit overkill for our needs (quote was about $6k).Our water is pretty harsh on the skin not to mention can be hard on appliances which we'd like to keep working long term.

Always check client references BUT remember the client references can be in on the con as well, so still you have to investigate further even if you get glowing references.
