Looks like I need to continue saving up my own money (skin in the game) to be more attractive to whomever I get the money from and in a better position.

Maybe this is my contractors, but there is a reason flipping is a full time job.For out of state investment, I would be looking for turnkey operators, or find a partner in the market, where you both will have skin in the game to do it correctly.

You two could potentially link up and reduce your skin in the game by working together.
