We have done research on these topics and found many different ways to skin that cat.  

I'm pretty much only making an offer on this property because of the financing option so I'd have little skin in the game.

Most non-accredited options (including Fundrise) suffer from extremely high fees, extremely low sponsor skin in the game, and are often less experienced than the higher quality accredited options.

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

I've heard many say you should invest your own capital in your syndication because it shows that you really believe in the deal and have your own skin in the game.

They want you to have skin in the game so most will want a 30% down the first deal you do with them.

I have some ways to add value as well as put my own skin in the game with 30-50% of the down payment.

Getting investors was not as difficult given my track record, but I generally put in about 10-15% of the equity to have some "skin in the game".

We cannot say in our leases that no white skinned people or black skinned people etc.

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.
