The Hard Truth About Real Estate Investing: You Need Access to Money

Access to money is essential to real estate investing, or any other kind of business you're trying to start or grow. Even if you're selling wholesale home, you will need access to money, and maybe even more so if you're planning on buying rental properties or flipping houses.

The money doesn't have to be your own, though you may have to do a little more work to access additional funds if it's not. Your funding can come from a friend, family member, hard money lender like Hard Money Bankers, credit line, etc.
