They want a private lender to fund and use the equity as the "skin" in the game.

This business takes skin in the game, experience, and realistic expectations.What’s going on with this mindset?

I am doing my research on this market,  is anyone here familiar or have any skin in the game?

Most lenders are going to want to see that you have some skin in the game seeing how new you are.

Most lenders see a first time flip risky and offering 100% financing would require skin of some sort in the game.

We can help you here as a sounding board for questions, but it also sounds like you need to grow a thicker skin and that's a personal growth challenge.

So, if the Teepee is 100 wolf skins, you bring 20 skins to the powwow.

I have been in NNN 21 years and never have seen a seller carry for 25% and then the lender providing the other 75% as first position with a loan.You would have no skin in the game. 

With fix & flips, unless you have a financial partner (or family member, etc) you potentially could have no skin in the game besides sweat equity, but if you are working with any lenders and going at it alone, you will need something up front.
