The only way I ever worked a deal without me going into pocket was with me providing the construction side....labor, management, advice, consultation, permits, plans, inspections, everything.....I don't see how you get anyone to front you 100% without you having some skin in the game........

Even if buying under FMV with instant equity, a conventional lender wants to see skin in the game - a down payment.If the seller could loan you money collateralized by a different property and you owner-occ/house hack it, it would be possible.  

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

Noone is going to want to work with you unless you have skin in the game.

Jim-The only advice I'd give on using someone else, is make sure they have skin the game.

Hi Kyle,This is the most common question I get asked.Don't waste your time because nobody in their right mind is going to fund 100% of your project.In order to get into new deals, build, buy, flip etc. you need to have some skin in the game.A bridge loan to get the cash out of the property on the market is possible, that can then help get you the cash needed and start this new build.

Having someone local who has skin in the game and experience would be valuable.

TK provider has skin in the game and Realtor does not whose motives may be to be the "you are paying to much, come with me and I will connect you with a better deal."

I have some private money that has been pledged my way to invest with and i'd like to show some of my own skin in the game with it. 2.

The more skin in the game from you, the better the terms and the lower the risk for the private money lender.
