Discouraged already, and haven't even started. Fix and Flip

I've found ways to get 70% of Purchase price funded by hard money.  However, I don't seem to have enough cash and credit cards to fill the gap.  Been at this for almost a year now and can't get the finances in place to start doing Fix and Flips.  

Any suggestions or words of encouragement?  Not ready to give up!

to be an actual fix and flip investor / business  its quite capital intensive.. and just a down payment is just a drop in the bucket of the capital required.

your best bet is to put a little private network together if you really want to do this.

or get your license and specialize in finding these types of properties for fix and flippers.. 

make a commish selling it for them.. and then the list back.. that's what agents in our market here do and they will knock down 250 to 500k a year no sweat in commish with no risks of borrowing money or a flip that did not work.
