Call me when you have nothing else to do and we can talk about making money, writing contracts, Control & Roll, delayed settlements, hybrid offers, skinning offers, commercial purchase, assignments, auctions, my kids, my grand kids, my house on Amelia Island Florida, my pet gold fish - your kids and your financial goals --- Ha - should be a long time on the phone with all those subjects.Cheers ------ Charles

The problem I'm having is that a lot of Lender's want what they call "Skin in the game".

      There are plenty of hard money guys that would lend on a well thought out and documented project, to an investor with experience and enough skin in the game.  

But at the end of the day you're still purchasing a deal under market value and have no skin in the game.If you ask me it sounds like you're the one trying to take advantage of them; not the other way around...

The assessor is really the one who has the biggest slice of the pie, and no skin in the game. 

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

Here is how I think about structuring the partnership and I would like to hear your opinions:My equity partner will receive 40% of the profits for coming up with the 20-25% required for skin-in-the-game with hard money lenders.

So now these investors need to trust a lead/sponsor/etc. with infinitesimally small skin in the game.Okay, that said, I’ve made more than a few assumptions to get to this point.

Bottom line, this kind of seller financing is very difficult to complete and Close because banks, direct lenders, hard money lenders all want you the buyer to have skin in the game.  

Even banks want you to have some skin in the game.
