You can always tap into HELOC for a safety net in the short term (not ideal) but there if you need it!

This is networking, tapping your current list of friends, family, co-workers, other real estate investors, etc.Ideal duration depends on business plan: I, personally, am a fan of long-term fixed rate loans.  

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): If you own other properties, you can tap into your home equity to fund your fix and flip, providing you with lower interest rates.5.

I was able to do a HELOC on my primary and tap into some of my Roth IRA $ (tax free) to come up with the 130k since all I had to my name was 25k in savings.

Just up your insurance to an amount that makes you feel comfortable.Do recommend getting a HELOC on the house BEFORE you move, so you can tap the equity in case of EMERGENCY only:)

They also told people to stop sitting on home equity and tap into that as an asset to use for education and build a better life.

@Jason Stofer if you don't have a support structure to tap into... the unhappy answer is that there is no short cut. 

You may not want your heloc tapped that long as the rate is generally higher on a heloc than it is on fixed mortgage rates. 

If it's real estate, then I would get a job working for a real estate investing company or something similar to learn more before you tap your equity.

She will never replenish the deposit if you allow her to use it.FYI, I'd have a lawyer on tap ready to process the eviction.
