Where do you get the cash for your down payments?
I've bought a few houses this year and am out of my personal cash for down payments. How do you keep the momentum going?

@Andrew Smith every deal I buy helps me buy the next deal. My first property was a four unit in Lyons, that I was able to BRRR right away. The down payment from that, plus the sale of my home (live in flip) in Riverside, helped me buy a nine unit apartment building in Berwyn. From there I bought another fixer upper and then bought a 19 unit in Berwyn. Then a six flat in Cicero with a HELOC. You have to focus on buying value add so that you are always buying equity.
