I used mostly credit cards and borrowed money for the purchase down payment and rehab cost, and now that we're finishing up I'm doing numbers on payback and the next property.I want to keep up momentum and start the next project soon, but by my count, it will take me somewhere around 5-6 months to pay off all the debts I incurred in the process of purchasing and rehabbing the house (not including the mortgage).

I find that this brings a lot of clarity to the process.  

It's been an exciting process that we hope to continue building upon.
