On a Ground-up loan, lenders generally want to see more skin in the game.

Protecting your time and your deal is key, so I’d either enforce and re-list or only extend with meaningful skin in the game from the buyer.

With last week’s September 17 rate cut already in place, the next jobs report (October 3) could set the tone for further moves.

I agree with Jason - there has to be enough skin in the game to bait an investor - BUT also remember that depreciation provides a paper loss that shelters rental income from taxes, boosting after-tax cash flow.

It could just as easily be $200. or $1000. because the Real point is to get the 'investor' to get some of Their skin in the game.

@Cyril J StrezoFor most commercial properties you're going to need to put 25-30% down from what I've seen.

Very simple.Of course, lender fees and third-party closing fees (title/insurance/appraisal) are not typically covered and are expected to be the borrower's skin in the game.

ThanksWell. knowing what you paid for it is one thing, but you need to need to how much it would sell for, today.

Or does the sponsor issue a statement obviously “sanitized” by legal counsel with only a generalized reference to any problems with a general tone of the investor is lucky to have invested with us?   

Either a .5% cut or a more dovish tone in his comments, signaling future cuts.
