Best Options for Access to Capital

[Shayne Hastings]

Hello all!

I wanted to pick your brains and see what you did to raise capital for your real estate investments. I currently have a 5-unit building in Detroit but want to expand my portfolio rapidly. 

Would it be best to find a few homes that I can fix and flip to get access to capital for future buy and hold investments or would it be better to access a Hard Money Lender to purchase a property and pull money out via refinance to pay back that loan?

Access to capital has been my biggest hurdle in this real estate journey so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
