The key thing about your approach is showing them that you will have some skin in the game- your $20K4.

Just make sure you're confident in that ARV number.A hard money lender is going to require you to put some skin in the game.

I've always structured my team to have skin in the game from start to finish where you work with an agent/management operation so it is a constant and ongoing relationship.

But just putting SOME skin in the game tells us you are less likely to start the project, discover you are in over your head or it won't be profitable and ghost us....which happens a hell of a lot.

I would question any information provided by anything not a human being with decades of experience and skin in the game.

That means you will be turning a profit, with no skin in the game anymore, of $15k/year, from that time forward.

They use conservative leverage on every deal, put high skin in the game and offer a 1031 exchange program to defer taxes indefinitely.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

I have been looking on the East coast but don't believe I have enough skin in the game to make that jump.

Sales is a numbers game that requires a thick skin.
