Hello from Columbus Ohio!

[Marco Stack-Simone]

Hi There!!  My name is Marco and I am looking into starting my flipping business.  I am been reading books and websites, and have been a member of house flipping groups for probably over a year now.   I live in downtown Columbus and am really attracted to urban neighborhoods.  What is holding me back from getting started is MONEY! Ugh!  What are some tips for someone who has very little capital?  How do I convince a hard money lender to trust a newbie? Is there any such thing a crowdfunding for real estate?
