Maybe to get his skin in the game, give a big bonus if it is finished by a certain date and another bonus if it sells by another date at or above some price.He can not manage money and time. 

Be willing to split the profit very favorably toward the partner until you've proven yourself and built some capital to put some of your own skin in the game.For a presentation you would also want to provide information on what teams you have access to--do you have an agent with expertise in local neighborhood pockets, one who will sell for 1%, do you have crews, someone bringing you wholesales, etc?

I want (hopefully) long-term tenants with their own skin in the game.

The numbers may not be the same but that's the general idea.The other idea I had was having the monthly fee be lower in terms of % of rent, but then giving them a slice of the cashflow of the place... this way it's almost like they are a partner in the business and have lots of skin in the gameThanks!

This is to insure that I, the investor, has "skin in the game" so to speak, makes sense.

I love that you have skin in the game and are taking steps to be thoughtful in your responsibility as a builder to provide more functionality and outdoor space for future tenants. 

As @Taylor L. mentioned lenders often want to see the GP have some skin in the game besides loan guarantees. 

So what I was thinking (say the numbers make sense) that we find a private/hard money lender, put a small down payment so that we have skin in the game too not just the lender, increase the interest rate so it’s beneficial to the lender, rehab the duplex, and increase rental price, then refinance in 1 year having a background of tenants to show the bank, and to pay back the lender so it’s a short term investment.What do you guys think?

Made it to settlement by the skin of my teeth (debt to income ratio was excellent) after being underwritten twice.

Focus on meeting other passive investors who actually put skin in the game. - Did it meet expectations?
