My name is still full recourse on the loan so I technically do have skin in the game. 

I'm not telling you to be lax, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. 

Most, if not all private money/hard money lenders today will require you to put some skin (contribute cash) into the project.

As opposed to a blue room where some buyers may not have a boy or like blue, the tans, creams, and other earthtone colors are welcomed by almost all.One other thing I see some rehab flippers do wrong is do crappy work on certain items.

I'm just looking for somebody that I can go to for advice and if it takes splitting the first 5 or 10 deals I'm cool with that b/c They make money if I make money so we both will have a little skin in the game.

Others feel they do not know enough to comment on things.I want to make it very clear that ALL of US as BP Members should take into consideration when posting or commenting to a new member, that they may not have the "thick skin" it takes to be in this buisness (YET) and we should approach each of these situations with a bit more compassion and understanding.

Im ususally rather thick skinned on the contructive criticism.

The true cream of the crop often reveals itself during this phase. 3.

I would immediately start leveraging $200K of the cash as skin in the game in multiple single family flips and use the remainder to fund holding costs until those flips started producing.

I get locking up the deal and having some skin in the game but 5k is ridiculous.
