It's only gonna cost you money and time: thicken tha' skin.

If you go to a higher court, try to access a mediator who isn't worried about their political skin.

Even with hard money and private money, they typically want to see some skin in the game.Hopefully that helps!

It's called a Progressive Tax System for a reason.My opinion is that those investing money and taking the risk of losing it should be treated more 'special' than the common W-2 worker, who has no real skin in the game.

Make sure you hone in on your value proposition to not just the deal but the team as a whole and try to chip in something, even if it is fairly minimalIf I was the money partner in your scenario, I wouldn't partner up with someone who is bringing just the sweat equity without some sort of substantial skin in the game since it is far too easy in a situation like this for them to leave the other partners holding the bag if the project goes sideways

After bringing in a thick skinned property manager, we've got all of the fully rehabbed units rented and are loving the cash flow.

I also strongly suggest you bring some of your own money to the table so that you have some skin in the game.

Better interest rate if you secure the loan with something but I like having as little skin in the game as possible.d) There are other options out there like refinancing your house, ect but personally I think options A - C are your best bet.

@Braheem TolbertYou can get a loan for almost anything as long as you have enough skin in the game

If you are, then make sure you let the lender know you have no skin in the game.
