If you have an investor that is beating you up on your ownership stake, I politely say to the investor that I don't think this type of deal structure is a fit for us and move on to someone else.I have put capital into the deal and am happy to do so if my investors want to see my own skin in the deal.

Its always easier to get motivated after you have skin in the game. 

We both have exceptional credit and have the means of funding a portion of the total project cost to show "skin in the game".The question we have is on financing options. 

Or sometimes it's that same scenario but I put "skin in the game" so I can get higher equity. 

Lease option, buy and hold, owner finance... there’s many ways to skin a cat

I am currently 18 years old i don't have any skin in the real estate world i live in a small town in northern Pennsylvania most of the local investors are residential investors .cap rates aren't strong though there's a lot of opportunities in residential i am interested in multi family to look for better Opportunities and Relationships.

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

Hi Allen , I plan to use hard money but still need to find the %20 or "skin in the game" that hard money requires.

When you invest in a price point that is half of the median you have only two exits ONE is to an investor who will pay pretty well  ( IE turnkey buyers ) or a wholesaler that will skin you a live LOL..
