Most will require some skin in the game and they lend on the property and your experience, not your jobs.  

So I can go into a syndication deal as a GP with wanting to find the best deals.So skin in the game is not always a predictor of success.

How much skin in the game? 

Navigating the financing nuances is where I'll need the greatest help, since there are 110 ways to skin the real estate purchasing cat, and none of them are totally clear to me (yet).

Also, you are right about wanting to have a deposit from the tenant, so they have some skin in the game to take better care of your property.

Anyhow, its their belief that hosts are exacerbating the housing problem and theyre doing God’s work as good little apparats for the city by taking us out, one by one 

It should also make potential LP's more comfortable knowing you have considerable skin in the game plus the fact you are profiting from the merits of the actual deal at time of sale rather than collecting fees.

Some want to see skin in the game. 

Im looking at 7% however I think a better safe guard for me to have enough skin in the game is to move the sales price higher just in case he decides to pay off the loan earlier.

I rather have little skin in the game, then nothing at all.
