Additionally, no lender will loan any amount without you having XX% skin in the game.    

#1 is not an option with only $15k to cover closing costs and your skin in the deal...banks won't do that.#2 is likely not an option if you don't have 6-12 months of liquidity.Yes to #4.  

I do realize that somehow I have got to demonstrate to those whom I look to for funding my deals that I have got some "skin in the game" as should be the case.

Cesar Corona Hi, the best way would be to invest a reasonable amount into the deal so you have some skin in the game.

Hearing no is part of the game, develop thick skin and move onto the next bank!

All of these get rich quick guys who went to a two day seminar think you can just show up and put a house under contract with no skin in the game are the guys giving all of the real wholesalers bad raps.  

I was recently in Denver and thought about stopping by to complain in person, but in the end Little Man Ice Cream won and I thought I'll drop you a line.

There is nothing like having skin in the game to help you focus, learn, and act.

If you are essentially getting a 100% mortgage you have no skin in the game. 

My greatest concern is buyer;s remorse, furniture not fitting like they thought, no skin in the game on their part.
