I mean I am turnkey I was the number 24 new home builder out of the top 30 in the Portland market.. and all of are product are TURNkey I suspect  they are brand new homes.. just like the buys I fund here in the PDX metro area they are flippers.. they just NEVER sell to investors its all home owners.. and homeowners want fresh new modern rehab.. so investors same thing they want fresh new rehabbed rentals.. and if you can bring the management component that helps them.. but I bet Memphis has their share of flippers that sell to home owners.. they are turn key in a sense..

Initial CapEx Funding at property closing: At closing, as part of my 'cash needed to close' calculation, I take 3% of the sales price and set it aside in a separate CapEx savings account.  

But it should be clear from the examples above that things can sometimes take an unexpected turn for the worse.My goal was to own properties free and clear so that the cash flow could fund an early retirement.

I’m open to creative ways of funding deals using some of the equity or possibly selling these properties to fund better investments.

An example, and a huge one, is how much cash does it take to "enter" each use of funds...the two uses being a stock investment and a REI investment? 

I've been talking to someone I know who did a few flips over the past few years, and he mentioned he's always looking for people to fund his flips.

In terms of the funding options for your next deal:1) if you have IRA (Roth or Rollover) consider SDIRA.2) if you have your own business, consider solo401k. you might be able to move Rollover IRA funds into it. also, a better option than #1 above from a taxes perspective3) partner up with money partner4) look into leveraging your personal life insurance policy as a loan (if you don't have one, go get it)5) you can borrow against your 401k at work up to $50k. you pay interest and all back to yourself

Is it possible to get a conventional loan to fund this type of project?

I've seen several posts about how you should get private funding from investors, and although I'm not at that point, it would be interesting to talk to those who have actually done it locally. 

Hey Guys.Alright some Advice from those of you with knowledge in the field would be appreciated here.I have my mind set on getting my First Flip Done.Problem is like many of us here, No capital to fund it.So i was thinking,A) Get A HML just for the Down payment of the house and Use an LOC to fund the rehab?
