Funding Flipping for the First Time

[Joshua Nichols]

Hello! I'm new to the real estate game. I'm very interested in flipping properties. I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip. My question is about the funding for the project. I have enough liquid money for the down payment for the hard money lender, but that'll leave me with zero cash for closing costs, realtor fees, etc. I can pay utilities, insurance, and other holding fees but I won't have enough to pay other cost like listed above. The question I have is, if I get a hard money loan, can I get enough to cover the closing costs and realtor fees and other associated fees?
