Make sure they have skin in the game right from the start (equity and/or points). 

They were impressed I think.We were asking for 100% funding (no skin in the game) unless we have to.  

Buying these units based on the nice TK or worse yet the marketing agent has no skin in the game is in my mind counter intuitive.

This is especially true for investors who you haven't worked with previously that are likely to back out if they don't have skin in the game

Since you don't have experience and the 10% skin in the game that most hard money lenders require, you can't rehab this yourself.

So as long as i show ive got skin in the game im hoping to liquidate the houses an buy a 50+ apt complex that will fullfill a passive income of x dollars a month.There are so many things i dont know and eager to learn about. im hoping my internship will answer a lot of them but i know i also have you guys to back me up so please tell me my plan is wish wash and give me more facts so i can overcome them and find the way to financial freedom thank you BP :)

And from there you can have a big picture of how much cash flow you need.Route 1: Hard money lendersRoute 2: Conventional MortgagesRoute 3: Portfolio LendersRoute 4: Private investorsRoute 5: Cash AdvancesI can keep sugegsting but the point is where you are today, what skin you have in the game, what's your goal and how are you thinking to achieve the goal

It appears you have some capital from your flips so with enough of your own skin in the game, you should qualify, no need for a 9-5 job with them.

If they don't have any skin in the game where is there motivation, short of the threat of legal action, to perform on the contract?

What does the newbie do when they don't have money to put "skin in the game" to get funded?
