Hey BP Community,I am wanting to get into flipping and I have the construction experience but am lacking the cash or money to fund a deal.

PS this is how I became a home builder in the first place I had funded a GC who controlled the payments and of course in the GFC he did not pay..

This is advantageous bc later you have a third party loan (not your personal money) so seasoning period is 90 days to DSCR out. 

Find someone where there is a personal connection and at some point your relationship now or later can benefit the mentor.

The problem is, all the ones I've seen, you have to keep your collateral funded or they start selling off your stake in order to keep it at a certain percent, so you have to keep an eye on it.

I am interested in some in-person or virtual connections for anyone in the GR area.

@Timothy Frazier  This will be tough as the HML will want a 1st position loan, but so will the other lender providing the rest of the funds. 

and also like what I do Utilize as STRs: You furnish and list these properties as short-term rentals (STRs) on platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb.Generate Cash Flow: The higher rental income from STRs, compared to long-term rentals, allows you to cover your mortgage/lease payments, generate positive cash flow, and potentially have funds left over for further investments.Positive Cash Flow: STRs often generate higher rental income than long-term rentals, allowing you to cover your costs and potentially profit.Tax Advantages: You can often deduct expenses related to your STR business, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and maintenance costs.

@Mark Towey I don't "farm" areas personally, it doesn't really fit the niche I'm personally going after, but what I have heard from some major agents in my market lately is that farming is not near as productive as it used to. 

Yes you can use commission as sourced funds for down payment on a conventional loan.However some lenders have internal overlays that don't allow it.
