How I funded My First Flip

Hi all. I'm working on a blog series to help the newbies and wanted to get some material from some of the experienced flippers out there. In one simple sentence, where did you get the money to fund your first flip? Eg. conventional loan, HML, savings, credit cards, family, friends, etc.

I'll start:

First flip was funded with 10% personal savings, 20% loans from friends, 30% credit cards, 40% construction loan from credit union.

I simply had no other options at the time. If I hadn't done that, I probably wouldn't be where I am today.
