Now I am starting to think you didn't read any of my post. lol You can keep insulting me if it makes you feel better, but I have thick skin!

Keep in mind that even with hard money,  many lenders will want you to have some skin in the game… especially as a beginner.  

No property owner is going to let you waltz in and sublet their property without a solid lease and a lot of your 'skin in the game'As @John Underwood said, an LLC is not really much help at this point.

No one has more "skin in the game" than a PMC as they have to deal with the property every day until an owner sells or fires them.Also recommend finding your own Inspector and not one referred by an agent.

Look for the turnkeys where the provider either has skin in the game with you or has to perform after the sale to avoid getting stuck!

@Corbett BrasingtonWhen I see a borrower swipe their card for the appraisal and they've paid an EMD then I already know they have some skin in the game so if we've agreed on conditional loan terms in writing then I wouldn't be asking for additional deposit. 

If you wanted to just reduce the contract price, they will still have to come up with some skin in the game from somewhere. heads up...

Our son Travis is 28, finishing up his degree, living at home paying enough rent to have his skin in the game, and working part time. 

For your information, a sharia compliant loan requires the lender to have skin in the game and make profits from rental/lease agreements with the buyer.

They hate it when the borrower is trying to get the deal done with no skin in the game.
