@Coty Dolan We have a buyer right now trying to close on a cookie cutter deal and his HM lender is requiring a little more skin in the game for him.

you will need to put a little skin in the game about $1K.  

Lots of potential with minimal skin in the game to start the snowball of transfers for a big cash flow building of renters in the end!!!!

Most times, bank or otherwise, someone wants you to be invested and have skin in the game.

Partner with someone who has skin in the game and do the deal together.  

Second, I liked that with Roofstock there is a partner to help me with the due diligence and there is someone else who has skin in the game when I buy a place.

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

As to LTV...not sure why an investor would care, other than they want to see you have experience and skin in the game.

I've done it twice now and the last one was by the skin of my teeth that it went through because of the marginal neighborhood.

If you have any money to bring to the table, that would definitely help out in finding a partner as you'd also have som "skin" in the game.Or you can also partner with more experienced flippers, by bringing your time and energy to the table, doing work that your experienced partner does not have time to do.Good luck!
