Of course I would have some "skin in the game", and the rest of the fiancing would come from venture capitalists.

And I believe in my heart that splitting deals doesn't work, you need skin in the game and money in the table for coaching, then you generally work harder.A good analogy is seeing a psychiatrist and having your daddy pay for it.

. - An agent that can think out of the box and has "thick skin".If there is anyone out there on BP who can help by recommending or any agents themselves who are interested or know of an agent who wants to make money. 

Most lenders want to see the borrower have some "skin in the game" .. that is some of their own money so if something goes bad, the borrower won't just walk away.Most sellers or anyone else holding a second mortgage on this property will probably want something more than small interest.

They use the term "Skin in the game"??

I'd have no "skin in the game" besides the contract is new the full amt etc. do lenders work it people like this or is it like traditional loans where u must have a certain percentage to put down?

i like where your head is at mr. bobThe more skin you have in the game the more fun it is :)Just giving my personal opinion 

Don't get excited there is only 1 that I saw and it is a duplex in Lawrence.Though it did look to be in decent shape and have 4/1 units for a list of like $209K.If your skin is thick enough you can probably get like $1300 in rent for the other unit.

The VA loan is a wonderful benefit and if you put some skin in the game to prove you are serious that will help your offer.

Will you have any skin in the game?"
