There are so many ways that you can fund your rehabbing project. You will have to do your research with all of the many lenders out there. However, to get a loan for rehabbing is not as risky. Usually, the return on a rehabbing investment is two times the amount financed which always catches their eye. Lenders know that you will double your investment and most of the time pay the loan back in full very quickly or on time.

The most difficult part of funding your rehab is knowing where to begin. Usually, when first starting out, start out buying an inexpensive piece of rundown property with your credit card. I like buying and selling inexpensive homes because you don't have to put a lot of money into the home to fix it up. You can sell these types of homes to just about anybody because a lot of buyers out there today just want a roof over there head.

When using a credit card, however, make sure you still have enough to actually do the rehab and then sell it for a profit. Your profit may not have doubled the first few times but you should have a little something in the end. You can use this money to fund your next rehab and as you keep rehabbing, money will start sticking. You will soon have enough cash flow to fund your rehabs or enough money that you have paid on your mortgage that you have built up a lot of equity and you can start taking a second mortgage out on your home. Don't become homeless or anything but this will build your credit as long as you are making your payments on time and that you haven't applied for too many credit cards. The better your credit score is your chances of funding your rehab with a loan will increase.

Another easy way to fund your rehab would be to find a hard money lender. The key to your success is finding the right one. There are many hard money lenders that you can find on the internet. Just call around and ask for their requirements and let them know you are a take charge kind of person who has rehabbed for a long time. You have to take the first step and just ask. Another way is to network. Let other real estate investors know what you're looking for. There is somebody always willing to give referrals to lead you in the right direction.

I have fully explained how to fund a rehab in my educational system, Renovate Your Success TM. This system will teach you all of the information you need to start your journey to financial freedom with property rehabbing. I have also created products for the professional rehabber to take their business to the next level of success.
