Like mentioned before, most lenders would do a deal to a first time investor if you have more skin in the game or high FICO score.

I'm a conservative investor, so when I invest in most real estate asset classes I prefer sponsors that have at least one full real-estate cycle of experience, little to no money lost, low leverage, and high skin in the game.And there is an apartment operator that has multiple real estate cycles of experience (decades) with no money lost, low 65% less LTV, and high 10%+ skin in the game.

No skin in the game.

My plan is to "wholesale a mhp," so that I can have some "skin in the game," as it were, for buying my first park. 

The best thing you can do starting out is build a strong team around you while getting some skin in the game.

On a $290k loan, I would want my buyer to have more skin in the game than $15k.What would the tax implications be if she refinances or pays off the loan early?

the flipper is in essance getting hundred 100% financing and has no skin in the game.. one thing that could sway the deal though is some cross collateral. 

The skin in the game investors are doing as expected. 

It gives them skin in the game, helps them learn the common terms and speak your language.

It sounded like a really good way to benefit from cash flow with minimal risk and very little skin in the game.From what I gathered, the point of this strategy is to lease a property from someone with the option to sub-lease, then re-lease the property at a higher rate and pocket the difference.Can someone out there break down the strategy for me?
