Thank you.Sorry you have such thin skin and feel forced to covertly call me names...cute, but childish, and likely one of the reasons you're in the situation you're in.

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

Ultimately they want to make sure you have enough skin the game to invest in the 6 unit.

Real estate agents and investors have all gone through it.Gotta have thick skin in marketing.

I've got to skin this cat!

They don't have any skin in the game because they get paid either way.

The risk of default goes up dramatically when a borrower doesn't put any skin in the game.

There is also big opportunity for fraud in any area with subjectivity and opportunity for big gains.Bottom line - valuations on cash-out refis are less reliableAdditionally, lenders like to see "skin in the game" in terms of properties - psychologically, a borrower that is putting down cold hard cash on an acquisition means they have real $ to lose if things go wrong.

Because you are invested into them and have skin in the game, you will get educated by the good and bad things they do.

Well, who has more "skin" in the game on your behalf:1) An agent that finds you a property, gets their commision and is doneor2) A PMC that has to manage your property every day until you sell or terminate them?
