Personally, I wouldn't invest w/ a first-time lead who has no "skin in the game", and prefer that even seasoned deal sponsors have aligned interests via their equity investment.  

hello I'm Rupert from Arizona, new to the game but shoot for the stars trying to be rookie of the year.

Going to attempt to summarize everything up to this point.Current Stage of construction: FramingWe purchased this lot about 3 years ago for $6000Have built 3 homes in this same neighborhood, this is our 4thTook about 6 months of re-zoning to allow for a variance in the rear of the property so we could maximize the size of the home, mainly to accomadate a master bedroom downstairsLot was vacant, cleared out a few trees and started on the foundation, concrete slabAltered the plan a bit so that the patio faced east instead of north, thus making it open to the patio.Project Description: 2-story home, 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1 office, 1 game room/4th bed2808 sqft,  Lot  6,568 sqft        

I'm new to BiggerPockets but I am not new to the real estate game!

Yes, you may be out of a few dollars due to interest but this is a part of the game.  

Good Credit, guaranteed money back, skin in the game (money down)????

So I'm a total noob to REI but I'm pretty excited about it, as I'm finding out its this huge diverse world with many different opportunities.So assuming I wanted to move on a foreclosed property, what would I have to look out for?

I am pretty open about my business and don’t mind helping follow BPers because I really believe that real estate is not a zero sum game.

To be the former and in the game for the long term I'd encourage you to start out with the right mindset of what it takes to build a long term business and forming trust with buyers and a good reputation is a big part of that.

So grateful to have a platform such as this to assist under experienced, potential investors with getting into the game without trying to have us pay the cost of a surgery.
