@John Peters, There are a couple of ways to skin the cat but as you describe but it is also very possible that the transaction could actually destroy both your 1031 advantage and tax advantaged status on the other property unless that happens to be your primary residence right now.  

Hello BP,My wife and I have recently created our LLC and have been fortunate enough to have some skin in the game to start out.

An agent who might very well work harder and get paid less is likely going to be rather irritated with the wholesaler who appears to have done very little for more money.

Most other HMLs like us prefer you to have some skin in the game.

The answer could be simply that you're missing key partner (knowledge/experience) or it would just be easier if you saved up for six more months.In other non-real estate deals, I had to dig deeper to discover the source of irritation. 

The requirements would be a average credit score, some skin in the game, and some knowledge about what you are using the money for. 

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

@Drew DonovanOption 1 will likely allow you to have the least skin in the game once the plan is executed. 

She would have skin in the game.

You have no skin in the game.
