Giving mortgages to those with little skin in the game or marginal credit is the same.  

@Mike Alder   you may want to look on E bay for used course material from any of the guru courses the information is all the same there is only so many ways to skin the RE cat  as it were.

The second is that they expect you to take at least a 30% or so equity position in the property so you have "skin in the game".I wanted to know if it is possible to get a mortgage for more than 70% if the property looks like it has better than average earning potential, or if that is a hard and fast rule.Thanks!

There are 3 or 4 tractor trailer backends there, vehicles, an industrial ice cream machine, old snowmobiles, a couple boats.

Has a historical brand, used to be the cream of the crop but now it’s just absolute garbage.

It has taken some thick skin and a complete disassociation from reality though to get through the stress of limited reserves but I’m back!

Talk about having skin in the game. 

Some of the things I've read elsewhere indicate the luster is gone from Reg A+ while accredited investors still get the cream of the crop Reg D offerings.Wow, even my dog doesn't whine as much as I am today.

This was the same math done when you purchased the triplex, if you purchased it as an owner occ and used the rental income to help qualify.3) If you want a rational reason why non-owner occ math is more generous than owner occ, consider that non owner occupants have to put big fat down payments down, and have more skin in the game generally. 4) Rental income (anything about it) is frequently overlayed. 

Or would it be better to show my "skin in the game?"
