Hello all  what color gray are you guys using? 

I like the colors of her final pictures.

You could also ask the tenant to co-invest in the project giving them some skin in the game. 

The original post was talking about how he has had to thicken his skin to deal with some of the manipulative tactics that tenants can use to take advantage.

@Mark WeinbergSo there are a couple different variables that determine what your Leverage is, ( the amount you have to put up yourself,  'skin in the game'). 

I cannot (and would never) communicate with the tenants that until I am the legal owner of the property but the P&S has strong language that no lease can be amended, extended, colored blue, etc.

The lower the score, the lower the LTV allowed and the more "skin in the game" you have to have.Let's put on the lender hat for a second and think about it from their stand point...

Typically they will put in $50K-$100K depending on the project so they have some skin in the game.  

Houses are one of the biggest most personal items anyone owns, I would be certain what you plan to do there are no issues with it, and no matter what anyone here tells you, only an attorney (who would be there to defend you should the issue arise) will have any skin in the game giving you the truth.

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