@Timothy Joseph Kiyosaki refers to something called “infinite returns” which is earning a return when you have zero money or skin in the game.

You will have to have skin in the game with the national lenders. you want to look for UPTO 90% of purchase and 100% of rehab. their will be draw fees. typically 200-250 dollars netted out of the draw.

Originally posted by @Teage Staunton:Most of the traditional bank, credit union and portfolio lender you talk to will require you put down 20-25%, some even 30-40% down, as your skin in the game.

At the end of the day you won't have skin in the game.  

Many lenders would offer a lower interest rate with a greater downpayment (the owner has more skin in the game).  

My goal is to fund my first deal with no skin in the game!

I am not sure anyone will give you a bridge loan without and skin in the game or track record.

Therefore, it will be wholesaled, as will the next few until I have the skin on the next home run.Cheers all.

Here's my thoughts (I'm guessing several won't provide sufficient funds):Use crowd funding sites like lendingclub or prosper to get a personal loan (up to $35k I think) to help w/down paymentTake out a HELOC on one or more of your own propertiesIs the contractor putting any skin in?

Honestly that was stressful enough and I had no skin in the game or financial burden.
