you can get them on ebay for like $5 for 5. also, i have a skin on my phone so that when i drop it, it doesn't shatter. i drop it a lot!

That way both have skin in the game and works out better for you.

Good luck........but don't let them win by getting under your skin........anyone who would destroy another person's property is nothing but a loser anyway, but you don't want them to say you gave them aggravation while they were living there....I had 3 bad tenants in a row here in Florida, I never believed the other landlords who said I was too nice and had sucker written on my forehead, but now I know why most tenants I interviewed said there were nothing but slumlords out there.........not true....what was true was what the realtors all told me, that I was too nice and believed ever sorry *** story they gave me.....My home was so gorgeous, If I showed you the before and after pictures......OMG.....don't think I'll ever want to be a landlord again....flip homes yes, but I'm burnt out...and this never happened in NY, so I feel for you......But God sees everything.....so just do what you can within the law ....they'll get theirs eventually

Lot's of different ways to skin it.  

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

Got to be careful and really clear here - its not an unreasonable ask - but its a totally different request (and will be challenging) to be requesting capital investment from a partner with zero actual monetary "skin in the game"

Not as terrible as losing skin, but not all rainbows and cupcakes as we thought.Honestly, looking for a really trustworthy contractor who can do work quickly and charge fairly.

However, there is more than one way to skin that cat.  

@Kevin Felmlee @Simon AristizabalAs a Private Lender, you can have Title be held in your or your Company's name...And you can have the Borrower pay you interest during the Project, as their "Skin in the Game."

We are doing the repairs ourselves so we have skin in the game.
