But long story short - make sure you have the cash or access to cash to fund the unexpected.  

I have some funds set aside and plan to take a loan from my 401k to get started.

However, I took out a HELOC as a way to fund a purchase/remodel.

Instead of finding a job, the tenant cashed his grandmother's bonds and goes out to casinos and strip clubs every weekend, he verbally told me this.

He has answered all of our questions about the process and the steps that need to happen, however, we would like to speak with investors who have been through the 203k loan process and have used these loans to fund deals.

We are in the process of moving to Marietta/Smryna GA and plan to use a 203k loan to fund a multi-family property.

@Sherwin Gonzales I follow mainly a passive stock market investment strategy, investing in index funds with a low expense ratio.

Hello everyone,I want to start financing buy and hold investment properties but I am looking for funding.

However, I have a lot of experience and if you're just starting out you should assume you'll mess up the first few deals you do.Also, I'm in a position where I want to transition to being less active so I'm slowly transitioning into things like Syndications, Funds and REITS.
