You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

Both properties have a substantial amount of equity that’s essentially sitting idle.Would it be a good idea to tap into this equity (through a HELOC, cash-out refinance, etc.) to fund future fix-and-flip projects or purchase additional rental properties?

I have opportunity to buy a small portfolio of performing commercial notes with LTV's less than 50%.  

@Jayna Stevens - Pros - Fast closing, construction funds given, credit score usually not a factorCons - Short term financing and expensiveYou need to have more than 1 exit strategy and you need to have enough funds to carry the interest payment in the event that things don't work out. 

Hey Laura,So I can't help with the true GAP funding, but I might have some ideas on how I could help utilizing the seller financing and transitioning it to something long term.

Whether you are a veteran looking to buy a home or an investor seeking the right funding for your next deal, I am here so put me to work.  

Hi Steven - Sorry for the delay, but I am an investor with Goodegg (Hotel Fund and Wealth Fund II) and I have nothing but praise.

Same thing as Bankrate for example they use a very specific model to price those rates and scenarios like 740 Fico, 70LTV, 15 year term and the APR is never really talked about when it comes to margin and points charged.So when your fico score, LTV, loan size or DTI deviates from that very specific loan scenario then they say in all websites required by law "rates are subject to change" hint hint! 

Any advice on different ways to fund a flip and find a flip??
