Post: How Do You Fund a Flip Without Using Your Own Cash?

A lot of new investors I’ve spoken with lately are asking:
“How do you fund a flip without using your own cash?”
Quick answer: It’s possible — especially if the numbers make sense and you know where to look.
I’ve seen investors structure deals using creative financing options like hard money, gap funding, or partner capital.
If anyone here wants to brainstorm funding strategies or share what’s worked for you, I’d love to learn from others too.

Not every property deal fits traditional financing.
I’ve worked with investors on some creative structures lately —
From quick-turn fix & flips to long-term commercial holds, the key is flexibility and speed.
Would love to hear how others here are funding their deals — and I’m happy to share what’s been working for my network too.

Hey BP Community 👋
I’ve been seeing more investors needing creative funding solutions for:
🔹 Fix & Flips
🔹 Buy & Hold / BRRRR
🔹 Construction Projects
🔹 Refinancing existing investment properties
🔹 Short and long-term commercial loans
Curious — what financing strategies or lenders are you currently using for your deals? Are you going traditional, hard money, or something else?
I work closely with a few private lenders who offer up to 100% financing on Fix & Flips, and I'm happy to share what I’ve seen working for others (no pitch — just real insight). Let’s learn from each other!
Drop your experience below or feel free to DM me if you're navigating a tricky deal and want to brainstorm options.

For those doing flips regularly—are you using private lenders, hard money, or something else entirely?
I've been looking into options that allow higher leverage (even close to 100% financing in some cases) and wanted to hear how others are structuring things to stay cash-efficient.
Anyone using creative setups or brokered capital?

Hey BP community 👋
I’ve been connecting with a lot of investors lately who are working on fix & flips, BRRRRs, new construction, and even small commercial projects — and many are surprised at how many non-bank financing options are available right now.
If you’re exploring strategies like:
-
Fix & Flip 🛠
-
Buy & Hold (or BRRRR) 🏘
-
Construction or Development 🏗
-
Refinance to pull out equity 💰
-
Short or long-term loan solutions 📝
…it’s worth learning more about what’s out there. I’ve done a lot of research and happy to share what I’ve learned (not selling anything).
Anyone here currently working on a deal and exploring funding options? Let’s trade notes.

Out of curiosity, what’s working for you right now when it comes to funding? Are you using private money, institutional lenders, or a hybrid approach?

With market conditions shifting and traditional financing getting tighter, I’ve been seeing more creative funding strategies for Fix & Flips, Fix & Holds, and even construction projects.
Some investors I know are leveraging:
-
Private lenders
-
Partnerships/Joint Ventures

Portfolio refinances
-
Even structured loans that cover both purchase and rehab costs
