I've worked with some Canadians buying  here in Ohio.Indeed, rather than selling your stocks to fund investments (and lose out on any potential price appreciation and dividend payments, as well as incurring capital gains taxes), a nice alternative is to borrow against some percentage of the holdings.You would start with the brokerage where you hold the stocks and see what their loan program looks like for the account you hold. 

Because later on, if you want to get a business line of credit, apply for grants, or pivot into a different industry (like buying an ice cream truck—hey, life happens), you can use the same LLC without lenders or banks assuming you're only doing risky real estate deals.

I'm not saying I would do this, and I haven't done the math yet, though I think I could get a normal policy with hurricane/wind as well as the prosper policy for less than it would cost to add wind/hurricane to the prosper policy.Hurricanes typically turn into tropical storms at best by the time they get to Orlando, so I don’t buy the same type of policy they offering for those on coast. 

So, is it possible to get an outright loan for say 100,000 and use that to buy, flip and sell a house for a profit?

We have 60 rentals12 air bb units, Ohio  and Fla. 15-20  flips and wholesales, between buy and sell close at any point. 

If you use the extra $100k of cash you receive to just...live on, buy a jetski, take a trip to Disney, (any personal use) the interest for that portion of the loan will not be deductible.
