For all your non-recourse lender is concerned, you are providing the 20% plus closing costs to the table (your skin in the game as far as the non-recourse lender is concerned).Trick to becoming a successful investor:  DON'T OVERTHINK, JUST DO IT! 

I will spec materials/colors/repair method when I feel it needs to be done a certain way or I want something different/special.  

Sounds like you have no skin in the game, so it would be tough to find a partner that would take all the financial risk. 

Or make him a gift of a key ring that would hold some sentimental value to him and then color code each of the 3 keys he needs for entry to the apartment and place on said keyring.

The majority of the house has a lighter colored LVP which has unfortunately been discontinued. 

I would add more decor that adds color and fits the theme of the area.

However, you will need skin in the game at least 60%,of the ARV. 

Hi Bryan,It's very rare that you would be able to put down 0% on these deals as lenders like to see that you have some skin in the game (worth giving a try though).

This isn't Nike and Michael Jordan and paying the NBA per game fine for having too much color on your shoes... this is pretty serious stuff.Unfortunate, for sure.

In other words...people that don't have enough skin in the game to even cover the deposit.
