Bridging the gap

[Account Closed]

I'm considering using a HML for my first flip, but funds are tight. What strategies have people used to "bridge the gap" that the HML won't cover? For example, a generous HML will lend 80% of the purchase price. But obviously that leaves an additional 20% plus rehab costs to cover the flip. I know this is where the "skin in the game" phrase comes from, just wondering what combination of private/personal/extra financing folks are using.
