There is almost always some "skin in the game" requirement from the borrower, in our case generally between 20-30% of the purchase. 

Just wondering how irritated people get with you if this is your strategy, and mainly, if it works!

Typical "skin in the game" stuff. 

Came to PM asking about lack of cash flow maybe I wasn't pointed enough in my questioning and yes I'm easily intimidated by my PM and her staff (who often treat me like crap or act irritated when I ask questions or want to argue a point) Needless to say, I was told what I wanted to hear and it all adds up on paper  but the question remains of why I still am not profiting rather than maintaining.

For your first investment, the best thing you can do is team up with an experienced investor to help walk you through the process and help you get some skin in the game.

I would suggest networking and considering partnering up with an experienced investor to help you get some skin in the game.

I was pretty shocked as obviously race or skin color had nothing to do with it.

Another one I did, I was not going to do much to increase the value so I put 15% down and the seller held a second for 10% so that I had some skin in the game.Also keep in mind that it is hard to cash flow something that's 100% financed.

I told him he might be better off pursuing this on his own as he would have all the skin in the game initially but he insists on me helping him and holding him accountable.
