What type Financing is best for flipping single family homes?

[Nadeen Roberts]

Thinking about flipping single family homes in the dallas/Fort worth area. Am I better off with conventional financing or getting a hard money loan? I am a rookie and not much cash flow.

Conventional lenders wont lend on distressed properties and hard money lenders will require you to have 20% - 30% of the loan amount in cash. Your best, low cash option might be the FHA route. Either purchase a turnkey small multifamily and live in one unit? That will allow the smallest amount of cash out of your pocket.
