A healthy lifestyle will keep you out of the hospital in the long run and is a lot cheaper.

Repeat the process with dozens of properties and I should have healthy passive income coming in from the rentals.

It's not as fast as hard money, but almost always they want to see some skin in the game.

Some will loan up to 100% of the as-is value and rehab costs, but many will want you to have some skin in the game too. 

I have had all sorts of respiratory and skin issues through the years and at times it can be nasty at least and fatal at worst.

I agree @Dede Christensen that you have to have some tough skin sometimes when posting on BP. 

I have only seen 2 deals (out of more than 100) where they split 50/50 and that is only after the 1st 20+% of returns.Simply put, no one is giving you capital so you can own 70% of a property with no skin in the game.  

I feel that we are on a healthy track financially but at the same time I do question if this will provide the best outlet for our kids to get exposed to the things they need to succeed.  

That time will come to and end, but profit will stay alive and healthy, the market will adapt.
