People get "funny about their money".You need a thick skin in this business.There is something called "defamation of character" and if she puts things in writing that you have documented about how she is going to ruin you she is not smart.

We just felt if the customer had a little "skin in the game" they would be less inclined to pull a loan that we were currently working on. 

You'll also find that getting involved that regardless of what kind of agreements you have made when it comes pay day, you can easily be cut out if you don't have real skin in the game.

It has served me well and I find they have skin in the game because they are held accountable by the realtor.

I hope you get a thicker skin quickly

(Also, none of the workers was wearing protection for their skin, eyes or breathing.)Besides belongings that were in the damaged areas, we have asked that all soft goods be replaced because of the negligence of the cleanup crew, which admitted to us they did not follow proper mold remediation procedures.

That's not included rehab costs, r.e. agents / attorney fees, closing costs, insurance etc and you'll still need some 'skin in the game'.There are even JV offers on earnest monies (they'll put up the full amount of the EMD) that I've heard of.

You can try to get the seller to agree to a thirty day window for you to find an end buyer and only have as little as $10 of skin in the game.

With no experience, no real skin in the game and no one signing the docs whose experienced and taking responsibility I don't see anyone being confident enough to lend you 100%.And on your 1st deal, maybe first 2 deals, forget about making a huge profit, if any at all.

@Thomas Zak most lenders do not provide you the full funds for both purchase and rehab, they usually require you to have some skin in the game.
