What do I need to do from here to start flipping?
I currently have a rental property I bought for $79k that is being leased out currently with the same tenants in it for 4 years. I have around $69k left on the loan (FHA). The value as of today stands at $100k. I want to buy my first flipper but I do not have the funds to do so. Is there a work around to this? Would I need to get a home equity loan? I'll have about $10k around March if I need to wait. I know it isn't much but I'm just trying to figure this out. I'm in the process of getting my real estate license and I eventually plan to buy a 4-plex. Thanks!
