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

A down payment is skin in the game.

I started charging refundable fees for viewings (which wouldn't work for an apartment complex, but if a stranger wants to walk through my house, they need to have some skin in the game!)

You will need to grow a tougher skin regarding your ability to say no to tenants.  

Having no skin in the game is just not viable in this market.
