if someone wanted to buy a fixer upper to flip it....

could they use their primary home's equity to buy it?

just trying to understand how people who flip houses ever get started when they already own a house and have their own mortgage

not that i EVER want to do this....just being curious

yes I have seen people use that on house flipping shows

ETA- you can take out a mortgage on the flip as well- you might not get the same rate as your primary house

and then you can use money you have saved for the improvments or equity from you current house

banks are not doing anything to help investors that are on the brink of foreclosure- (rate adjustments etc)
