(whatever it is you use).Some people borrow against their personal residence with a HELOCK for this needed cash, but I've seen those go bad in several instances, and the results were not very pleasant for the borrower.In many instances working a second job can allow you to set aside cash, or you might inherit it, or find a cash filled partner.But the bottom line is, initially your success is measured by how much cash you have to invest.And be careful of Hyperbole.Good Luck!
