This way they make 50,000 commission then they get it all that first time as they have already paid 25,000.Just like rehabbing a house with a hard money loan people want others to have skin in the game. 

There's a lot of ways to skin the cat, but here are the important items they need to know:1) How is their money secured when lending on your real estate project?

Last but not least, check your ego at the door and reach out to people that have skin in the game.

Basically all lenders are going to want you to have skin in the game.... and as such it's going to take money.

I personally think you shouldn't be investing in something you are not willing to put some skin into and the fixed 5.5% is as cheap of money as your gonna get and if you put 20% down and it all goes south well you lost your 20% that is reasonable. 

It is best working with a modular factory that builds using SIP Panels as they are more energy efficient and lighter weight with a much stronger quality, the SIP Panels can be worked with using OSB or Phenolic Skins. 

It helps to get some more skin in the game because if the market goes into a recession again then you have some equity in the property that may help, if you plan on having this property till retirement then it doesn't matter and just hang out of the big cash flow and buy more non-depreciating assets!

I’m also planning on climbing MT Washington and riding the sherb down if anyone is into skinning or climbing hit me up!
