Then after the debt is paid off you can go in with the original $150K and get a loan 1)You'll have skin to put in the game and 2) You can show your experience as a real estate investor with the flips that you did.

I'm just shining light on this topic and it seems to be getting under your skin big time.

The worker bees have no skin in the game long term, all they gotta do is show up and do their job.

Also, I don't need the money.I was thinking along on the line of having too much equity is too much exposure or skin in the properties.I know that even full time experts are having trouble finding great MF deals with cap rated crunched the way there are.. what chance do I have?

Or 2, don't most conversations start on the phone where skin color would not even be an issue?

@John Colin Rogers I am glad you are focusing on self improvement and bettering yourself but ANY complaint you make about your upbringing, status, skin color or any internal struggle that you may be having is a seed that you are planting- an excuse.

I tend to agree, if I feel the risk and I'm not an underwriter with potential skin in, I would imagine an underwriter would have a field day with this.

Sometimes things happen for a reason......right.Times like this, I guess patience and a thick skin will have to prevail.

It has a slight handscraping texture to it and most people don't immediately recognize that it isn't real wood planks.  

Well then, put some skin in the game and show that people are going to invest in success.
