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.

Most lenders would want to see experience and track record to remove your need for skin in the game.

The hard money lenders that I've worked with in Houston have required you to have some skin in the game even if they're willing to lend almost 100%.

More than 1 way to skin the cat. 

I have no interest in that company, Steve probably has no clue as to who I am, so none of my skin in the game...but I think he gives some pretty good advice in that podcast.Rentals and wholesaling two total different ballgames. 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.
