Personally, I wouldn't invest w/ a first-time lead who has no "skin in the game", and prefer that even seasoned deal sponsors have aligned interests via their equity investment.

Yes, you may be out of a few dollars due to interest but this is a part of the game.  

Good Credit, guaranteed money back, skin in the game (money down)????

Also, regarding legal issues about wholesaling, I can point you to another BiggerPockets post pointing to a Blog by highly respected attorney Jeff Watson, who speaks with two members of the Ohio State Board of Commerce - Real Estate Division where the regulators clearly state what is and what isn't legal regarding Wholesaling. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/193...Look at Marketing No Nos

I am pretty open about my business and don’t mind helping follow BPers because I really believe that real estate is not a zero sum game.
