Automated messaging systems and payment portholes will be in place. 

I use credit cards, write checks, and pay in cash.Each situation can dictate the payment type. 

Payment isn't showing on the portal yet.

Have you considered tapping into your existing rental equity for the down payment?

I have not selected a specific property yet, but want to at least identify my potential investors.

Using leverage to scale, such as borrowing against this cash for larger down payments?

I do have equity built up in my home, but I don't want to be saddled with yet another payment.

Most hard money lenders require 10-20% down payment of the purchase price or total project cost.Holding Costs During Rehab: Yes, you'll need to cover carrying costs, including hard money interest, utilities, taxes, and insurance.

But then I am still stuck with the monthly payment of $180 a month. 

I'd be seeking someone to fund the down payment of the deal and I would be responsible for property management/bringing in funds for initial renovations for a profit/split.
