Flipping houses is an expensive hobby. You need money — investment capital — to finance the purchase of a house, perform renovations, pay the utilities and taxes, sell the home, and cover your living expenses while you’re hard at work. The good news is that it doesn’t all have to be your money. You can borrow against the equity in your home, persuade family and friends to front you some money, find eager investors who are willing to finance your venture in exchange for a cut of the proceeds, and maybe even finance the purchase of the house through the seller.

If you’re thinking that you can’t possibly get your mitts on enough cash to finance your house flipping venture, this is the chapter for you. Here you discover the myriad sources of house flipping investment capital.
