But I did tell him that, although I was open to the idea, he absolutely had to have some of his own "skin in the game", ie money. 

I guess what I'm getting at is, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to take his money and put it in a deal, even though I don't really have that much skin in the game.

The investor will need “Skin in the game” – meaning the investor is required to bring a minimum percentage or dollar amount to the closing table.6.

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

I believe they have happened in the past making it possible that it will happen again.Each to their own but once expenses roll in, vacancies happen or a eviction results in extensive property damage the glow will be gone and it will be too late.

Skin in the game keeps guests from being lame.

Took a little off the price.Fired the contractor.We're now working with a contractor who has skin in the game now, so I'm not as worried.But when I start to work with someone new I'll be bringing donuts/coffee or lunch a few times a week. 

Does he need you to have "skin in the game"?

And its good to have some skin in the game..

I tend to think C class MFH are for local with tough skins....
