Any thoughts on more creative financing other than taking money out of my personal house?

You are looking for a Hard Money loan.

I do not have much knowledge on real estate but I am the hitting  books: BRRRR by David Greene, Estimating Rehab cost by J.Scott, Investing real estate with no/low money down by Brandon Turner and finally, Rental property investing by Brandon Turner.Outside of real estate, I enjoy swimming, bike riding, watching anime, playing video games and interests in the stock/house market.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

If so, that would be a good starting out point as $20k can be enough with a hard money loan and a lower value property (although likely challenging in CA).DSCR Loans are an option for turnkey and a refinance - there is no DTI involved in the qualification so salary does not matter

.* We could lose money on a project, or make twice our planned profit. * The amount of hours spent managing could vary, based on size of remodel and number of contractors involved (10 hours or 80 hours, paid the same).* The house could sit on-market a while, meaning the PM doesn't take a commission for 6-9 months on that project. 

@Youssef Labib  I don't know about the success rate of this or any big guru program, however my thought is most people at the end have parted with a large sum of money with nothing to show for it. 

Just remember you dont always make money when you do a flip . 

Let's make some money Archer!!!!!
