These will have multiple offers the first day on the market.

If a lender offers a deal where the borrower has little skin in the game or just "sweat equity" they are not giving you a loan, they are buying your project which likely you will be removed from shortly.

If a multiple owner business, the cost to setup a clear partnership/management/operating agreements.

after a 2-3 week rehab, i was on the market for 2 days and had multiple offers!

Many of those deal aren't deals, they are divorce settlements, transfers to family or trusts may be investors putting stuff in an llc.Sounds too like your Realtor just put you on the public side of the mls, solds are there but limited to mls members, a Realtor giving out access to the public would be in for it, doubt you'll have that much of a favor unless you marry them.Try courthouse records, multiple mortgagors are buyers with financing, grantees with no deed of trust are cash buyers.

They all (in my experience) require the borrower to have some skin in the game.

If it is a deal that I plan on pursuing, I will bring in multiple general contractors to give me quotes on the work.

The other thing you can ask for is a cosigner from someone with better credit.Usually they move on to another landlord with lower standards but I have people jump through my hoops and with the extra "skin in the game" they have been better than average tenants.

Even major fixers with serious issues are getting multiple offers.

There were multiple GFCI outlets that didn't work.
