While it is possible to do deals with none of your own money, the more skin you can place, the better options you will have.

In having a discussion with a seasoned RE Investor this past week and picking his brain on the structure of his business I really deduced his success down to three main relationships:#1- He has a realtor/partner(he has skin in the game) who handles buying and selling, along with finding deals.#2- He has a "money guy" who provides him a line of credit.  

@Willy Vasquez morales - Both Account Closed is right, it will increase your DTI.2) The bank will probably want sourcing and seasoning of your funds to prove that it is, in fact, skin in the game.3) Even a seller who's open to seller financing will, if they're thinking straight, want to see something down before holding back a note.Here's what I would recommend:Slow your roll a bit.

Don't be shy, I have thick skin I can take it.

Account Closed this is precisely the route I would take if my credit score were up to their standards and I had capital for the required 'skin in the game'.

They want to see you have "skin in the game."  

I have several great partners with lots of skin in the game.

The more skin in the game, the more return on investment.  

They are either going to be a lender, and you can pay them a percentage, and you would need some skin-in-the-game, or they will be a partner, and come up with all the cash and you can still get the bank loan, or you both can get the bank loan.

Hi @John Scully FHA is a wonderful product because you can start with little skin in the game.
