Post: I need money to fund my deal.

Here is what I am thinking of doing.

1. In order to pay for my deal, I thinking of refinancing my house.

2. I'll get about $20,000 in the cash-out. 

3. My mortgage is $1255 plus $140 in a foundation loan.

4. I'll take $5500 from the $20000 and pay off my wife's care. Monthly payment of $260.

5. Leaves $14500.

6. I have a foundation problem in my house. It will cost $14,500 to fix. 

7. Currently, I have a loan of $6500 (unfinished foundation loan)($140 a month).

Should I refi and cash out?

Should I take it out and pay for the 2 debts and the new foundation? Which the house I live in would be more stable. 

But I would not have enough money to invest. But I would $400 a month. Which $200 would go to the new refi. 

- Should I pay for both debts and fix foundation?

- Should I pay off of the debts and use the rest to fund an investment deal?

Please assist!

1. Underestimate repair

2. Underestimate holding period

3. Overestimate selling price. 

Make sure you allow for room in the above. 

 Thanks for the feedback.

Post: What's the best way to find money to start in real estate?

I currently have read and listen to information on how to invest. I'm confident in the strategy I have. However, the current part is I only have maybe $20k of equity on my home. I have $10k in a line of credit. Both of these have to be paid back if I use them.

I know the area I want to buy in. 

What do I do first. Then how do I get money to pay for the renovations I need?

Can you tell me what would make this a deal? Should I flip it, rent it or wholesale it. I'm thinking I should buy it, then wholesale. The exit strategies in this order, owner finance, sale it, rent it. Thoughts. The cash flow is low. $-30.

That's what they say the averages are. How do I find out?
