i understand the "skin in the game" that lenders want you to have invested, im just confused as to the "no or low money down" purchasing of real estate so often spoken of here...the only way i see that occuring is to have someone else  (friend/family) loan you the 10-20% down, then bring in a private lender for the rest so we can present "all cash" offers....??   

You have an opportunity, and you state it's a great deal, but then you leave the reader in the dark.

The current landlord may sugar coat it just to get rid of them but the previous ones got no skin in the game anymore.

Skin in the game is key🔑🔑

I am not saying this is the case but if it is do not give up there is always more than one way to skin a cat.
