I would guess that you have little or no experience running any kind of STR, and now want to get that experience on the back of someone else's investment, with little or no personal skin in the game, and that's not a good way to build an investment portfolio.

There is a reason we lenders require "skin in the game" and experience.

I don't know your skin thickness but know I do it with love and care for your improvement, there is no insult meant by any of it but fact is we all gotta suck, learn and try again before we get great, right. 

I don’t mind having skin in the game either, but I know using private money is key to scaling one day and would like to get some experience with it now, even if it doesn’t fund a majority of the deal. 

These types of loans typically require at least a 10-20% down payment, as lenders want to see that you’re financially committed to the project.There are ways to get creative but they still require some form of skin in the game. 

Hard surfaces should fall at least 1 inch per 48 inches from the home.

Unfortunately most lack the balance sheet to obtain favorable financing, can't afford to put any skin in the game and fail to make a compelling reason for why the investment makes sense or to justify the structure they are seeking.

That way you’ve got some skin in the game, and the tenants will be less likely to protest that the other tenants are using more electricity or gas.

Selling sounds great on the surface, but then I would be entering that market looking for a "Deal". 

Gotta have some skin in the game.
