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.  

The buyer must have 20% to 30% "skin in the game." 

I want to know how much skin they have in the game, the loan, and their track record.

Well, if I'm buying to flip and it's going to cost me 3-5 months of time, effort, holding costs, risk, etc, and I'm only going to make $30k off the final sale then it serves to reason that the wholesaler would make less because they have less skin in the game.

Landlord - lots of ways to skin this cat but finding, buying, leasing, managing will be nearly impossible for you overseas unless you have someone take all of this on for you.  

You have skin in the game in the form of your entire net worth.
