I mostly agree with @Greg H, the exception, is that HUD does do pre list Auctions on Auction.com, and Hudson and Marshall, and possibly Homesearch, (havent been able to verify this one) but the process is totally different, you may or maynot be buying from HUD, but if no one buys at these auctions it gets added to HUD's inventory and listed on HUDhomestore. in any case, you need to prove your money, submit Ernest, and lose the ernest if you dont close, so yea, you have skin in the game.

They have skin in the game. 

Now, there's no turning back.I'm sure I'll become more active on the forums now that I've got some skin in the game, but I just wanted to share my excitement with the community.

Essentially they would allow Thomas to come into the picture with only 10% "skin in the game", and then it is 10% of a potentially inflated (err, "appreciated") value.  

They should want to see the skin in the game, your source of funds for your side of any purchase.

It’s almost unheard of in today’s real estate market for a buyer to be able to borrow all of the money needed and also be able to wrap in all of the loan costs and fees without bringing any money to closing or having any “skin in the game”. 99.9 out of 100 times the investor will need to bring some money to closing. 

Hopefully you have thick skin and will hang around because people seem to either love or hate wholesalers around here, and there is very little in between. 

It just kind of all evens out in the wash so to speak.And its one thing agents must be very tough skinned about..

So for example, I bring in 5k for skin in the game with an agreement that I will manage all properties for a fee and handle repairs and maintenance for x amount of equity a year toward the properties.
