No skin off my back.

Another option could be raising private money from your sphere of influence but I believe you'd still need some skin in the game to make it happen i.e. acquisition experience, construction experience, syndication experience.Some investors partner with folks who can find the deal on their own.

All hard money lenders I talk with want skin in the game on the part of the investor, so no gap finding.

I didn’t even have skin in the game by that time because our property had been re-defined as a single family but I was furious that the campaign season threatened to change the “winds” of the thoughtful yearlong discussion.  

Real estate is tough, and we need thick skin.

I found their assumptive sales tactic irritating (for one thing, they wanted my checking account info after the first call to start moving things forward!)

I use an accountant that specializes in income producing real estate and owned some himself so he has skin in the game.

For residential, you can do a "piggy-back" second, but a lender is still going to want to see some skin in the game from you in one way, shape, or form.

. 😂 They have no skin in the game, why would they care? 

I expect a lot of irritation and disappointment.
