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.  

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. 

In today's market lenders are wanting you to put skin in the game and 20% down is the standard unless you find hardmoney or a private lender to finance the whole thing.Starting out I would invest in my home town.

@David White, I would say make sure you have thick skin.

And you'll likely need some skin in the game.     

Was wondering what avenues(techniques) to obtaining properties through wholesale with zero money involved? I'm sure there's several threads on it.

Who can point me in the right direction?

However, most owners are not motivated enough to hold the note on a "new investor" with hardly any "skin in the game." $5K on $240k represents about 2%, which doesn't leave any equity for him to pull out if he has to foreclose.

It's no skin off my nose.
