I am finally ready to get out of analysis paralysis and get some skin in the game!

This concerns me as the investor appears to have very little skin in the game.

like mentioned above CLEAN  windows seals  PAINT  cracked ( gator skin ) looking old paint    .only one house we replaced all the windows  as they where dated   just make sure you know what the inspector needs and is looking for and you will be fine and the tenets will be safe :)

Hard Money Loan - I do have a nest egg (40K) to put skin in the game along with the majority of it coming from the HML.

I would bank on 25-30% of build cost as your skin in the game.

A down payment is skin in the game.

Its been a true blessing to have gone to the weeds of it and grow thicker skin!

It's definitely possible but the bank would probably also provide some pushback as they want to see the operator with skin in the game.

Sometimes it's just easier to understand/accept a message from a stranger who has no skin in the game than it is from a loved one.

It's far harder to qualify for conventional loans if you're a business owner or self-employed and that equals opportunity.When I look at doing a potential owner finance deal the most important thing for me is skin in the game.
