So now if people want their loan to go before my underwriting team they can have skin in the game or go elsewhere.For our business model we have found the majority of our business is through mortgage brokers.

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

I can understand that they want to know that you have skin in the game by paying certain fees and origination costs. 

@Coty Dolan We have a buyer right now trying to close on a cookie cutter deal and his HM lender is requiring a little more skin in the game for him.

you will need to put a little skin in the game about $1K.  

Lots of potential with minimal skin in the game to start the snowball of transfers for a big cash flow building of renters in the end!!!!

Most times, bank or otherwise, someone wants you to be invested and have skin in the game.

Would I irritate my tenants raising the rent after they have been there a while.

Partner with someone who has skin in the game and do the deal together.  

I might argue the big banks will screw you more because they see you as a number whereas a private lender has more skin in the game and wants your future business.
