This way you are having them but skin in the game.

Is $1,500 worth reducing the agents skin in the game and therefore willingness to help you on this and future deals.

I have found skin in the makes all the difference in the world ;)

If you have no real skin in the game, just having your name on a contract doesn't give you much, if any, of an "equitable interest".IMO, a judge will always side on the good of the public rather than wording used in a contract, the legal intent being a requirement for any valid contract. 

You'll like have to have some skin in the game more than the earnest money.

In short, the whole bathroom will have to be redone.iii) The common bathroom has slight water damage from leaking end caps, but is not extensive and only the dry wall will have to be replaced.  

$3000 Removing popcorn ceiling = this may take about 7 days, cover up all the floor, remove all ceiling fixtures, wet ceiling let soak, scrap off, clean up, let dry completely 2-3 days, add new texture, paint.3. $3000 Paint the house 2 tones, paint front door white4

Just the main stuff like the dry wall, all the little stuff to finish off the home is not.Its been like this for 3 years.  

Although the inventory has dried up considerably over the years, 21st Mortgage still sells its REO on their website.There are not many players in this space, your business model should be very successful. 

I can put “skin in the game” but am struggling to find a partner.
