If feel that it’s such a sweet deal that if I’m not able to find a end buyer, I could finish the flip myself.

You all have me thinking ....Since I have a full side lot on the house with a 2 car garage on it that was partially finished for a rental by a previous owner, what about splitting the lots, selling the house for a bit less now and building a single family home on the lot I retain.

What is the best way to raise 40k to finish the job?

Hey Nicholas,I started out with joint venture partners like yourself who put up the credit statement and down payment to purchase a property and I managed it start to finish.

@Kevin Romero - Here is my "starting up" collection:Read ideal-vs-desperate-investor (http://greeneincome.com/index.php/2018/10/29/ideal-vs-desperate-investor/)Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

I just finished the section about Cash on Cash @Brandon Turner's "The Audiobook on Real Estate Investing."

Full disclosure I have one more class to take to finish my actual degree. 

We pay a college kid $200 to do handwritten notes and envelopes to 20-25 houses on the block after we finish a flip. 

I'm using 40k to finish a whole home renovation here on the Wet-side of the state.

@Bobby Dirkmaat  Congrats on finishing up at BYU and taking the leap to do your own thing.
