You may need to do a few BT to get to $30k- apply for fee new cards with sign up bonus and 0% interest promo that way, you can fund most of your rehab and reward yourself with free travel after you complete your project- get HELOC if you have enough equity in your house- re-finance your car if it’s paid off and pay it off after the project is done (Penfed sends you a check for a car)- apply for Business Loan if you have business

However, in any deal you must still bring some value to the table (capital, experience, ability, resources, etc) otherwise the remaining parties have no motivation for your involvement.As a new investor with no demonstrable track record capital is your easiest ticket to the table.
