Lending for Repairs
I just inherited a property in Wilmington, NC which I would like to use as an investment property. The property does not have a mortgage. I need to make repairs to the home prior to renting it out (~$15,000). I am looking for lending options I can use to make all the repairs. I would like to use an option with lower interest than the credit cards I have used up to this point, and that I can pay off quickly using the rental income. Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your advice! @Scott E. I am doing a short-term rental over the summer, with a projected income of $11k. I have long-term renters as of October with a monthly rent of $2000, with the renters covering expenses (trash, water, electric, etc.).
@Tim Johnson I took your advice and took out a personal loan. @Blake Novotney I went with SECU, a great rate, much better than credit cards. Bonus I was able to get enough to bring the credit cards to $0 and finish up the repairs!
