Many lenders would offer a lower interest rate with a greater downpayment (the owner has more skin in the game).  

My goal is to fund my first deal with no skin in the game!

You didn't insult anyone I'm sure, if any are they need thicker skin!

If you just give them a house with no skin in the game when it gets tough to rehab they walk away and you do not see a return as the mentor.Same thing with agents in that they promise the moon and say oh just show me what to do and I will make it happen.One week goes by and if they are not millionaires yet they quit.

I just wanted to share what I read and I thank everyone for all their advice about not getting skinned alive.I know it won't be easy but I just think sellers will have to be a little more flexible when it comes to selling their properties now.Louis made a great point about the regulations that are in place that will cause so much hardship and stress.

I try to redirect them to what I am looking for and them I point out BP to them,  but they get pretty irritated that I'm not taking them under my wing and teaching them everything I know.  

That may be beyond irritating, but if there is still a lot of profit to be made then I'd go forward and note the lesson learned for future deals. 

Some of us have worked on homes for years, assisted on all kinds of commercial and residential cites, have been mentored by agents with enough skin in the industry, and absolutely love to see everyone win!

Wise, but keep in mind that there's more than one way to skin a cat.  

Your skin should not matter.
