Various ways of getting financing?

[Vincent Plant]

So I have a decent amount of cash stock piled but I feel it isn't enough to turn into a decent investment. I hear all of the time people on here saying they used $30-$40k to start up however in my market the only thing your buying for that amount Is a mobile home on a leased lot or a complete tear down in a sketchy part of town. Then of course you need funds for rehabbing and everything else. How, how, how do you get money to put into a deal??? I'm a licensed agent so I know for sure that anything that needs work is unobtainable using a mortgage lender but what other ways are there? It's been explained to me about hard lending and cashing out from appraisals after you rehab but I just can't seem to comprehend those techniques.
