and -  I see you're points. I'm going to put this brain storm to rest  after doing  what suggested in this post until when and if a situation would arise that that I might pitch the idea. Until then Ill be studying up on creative financing and although its not a great interest to me possibly wholesaling to build a platform. Thanks again to everyone for the advice, biggerpockets.com is FANTASTIC!.... and addicting:)

Thank you very much for the advise. I am going to start working on what you suggested. Would you mind if I contacted you once complete and asked you if you would be so kind as to take a look and offer any further advice?

Although not what I wanted to hear it is what I expected. With that being said I have no issues perusing "unlikely." Would you be able to offer any advise on how I might go about this? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

thank you

Milo

Hello,

My name is Milo Guzman. I'm a newbie from Lehigh County Pa,  My wife and I have been studying this site among other and doing a lot of research on investing in our surrounding areas. I believe we could be in the stage of seeking funding for our first project however we recently purchased  our home so our $ situation is less then impressive at this time. My question is, would it be unlikely for a cash investor to consider my Skills/time/labor to be skin in the deal? Although I know I could not accomplish all the work myself I am very capable of most aspects of the rehab ( I am not a "do it yourselfer" I am a professional. Dollar for dollar this seems to make sense and I know I could more then cover my share with what I have described. Has anyone every dealt of heard of any deal such as this?

Thank you for your time

Milo
