I will definitely put these questions to use in an attempt to dig in a little deeper than the generic surface questions I had.

I would imagine it would be easier to get a hard money loan when I have "skin" in the game.I'd like to get any and all thoughts.Thanks in advance!

If anyone knows of a lender that will lend on investment properties in Maryland without any skin in the game, please let me know.

You will have more opportunities if you have skin in the game 2.

On the surface it sounds like a cash-flowing property but there are too many variables and unknowns.

@Wil Andrew, there's usually more than one way to skin a cat- what would you like the cash out for?  

There are just too many things that can go south when it comes to real estate investing and you have to be committed to be successful.For example, a buy and hold rental sounds great on the surface...but what if she changes her mind and wants to sell in a year?

I offered 285k and the seller accepted, luckily, as I had about 2k of skin in the game at this point.Fast forward 4 years later and I'm ready to sell this property.

I would suggest hard money lending but you will need some skin in the game these days with most HML.  

Jeff Burdick to be honest I'm looking to do house flipping, but I'm willing to work in anything else related to real estate investing because I just want to get some skin in the game
