In general no they want you to have some "Skin in the game".

I could use this as a learning experience or is there another way to skin this cat.

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.

They require you to have a discounted purchase, some "skin" in the game, and are more expensive but also a workable way to get started.To your success,

As a realtor, obviously I don't have the cash nor can I borrow from banks, but I'd chip in $50k (drop in the bucket) just to have some skin in the game.

As long as you choose not to rent to them via one of these reasons you're fine.Race, Skin color, Religion, Gender, National Origin, Disability, Familial StatusMost of these are pretty straight forward except for the last two.

I certainly wouldn't lend to someone with no skin in the game.

My own "skin in the game" though for my second building is only $5,000.

But I hit roadblock at the moment, bank door pretty much closes to me, hard money lender won't talk to me neither cause I don't have 'skin in the game' so what do I do?

They typically want you to have some skin in the game too.Look on BP for the money, they have a section dedicated strictly to lending.
