Lenders still have skin in the game I know of no underwriter willing to put their butts on the line.If anyone has acomplished a short sale flip to an FHA buyer using transactional funding, please chime in!

If you are going to do it, you will need to have some thick skin.

You need alligator skin to survive in the real worldI have kept my 👄 shut.

And why so much discontent about today’s society when only 50 years ago our society was lynching people for having a different color of skin.

I know in this business you are supposed to be thick skinned but you are also human sometimes.

It looks like this has been on your mind for some time by looking at your last few posts.It sounds to me like you're looking for a different way to skin a cat.

But what I can tell you is if you want to reach out to sellers directly, you need a thick skin.

But you can't count on another lender to look out for your interests, and certainly with 0 skin in the game, borrowers behave very differently than if they had tens of thousands at risk.If this is such a great deal, why isn't the original HML in first position lending the whole thing?

They want to make sure you still have some skin in the game since this is really a cash-out refinance.
