<prompt> Human: I want to purchase a house to do some remodeling and then flip it for some profit. I just purchased my primary home 6 months ago and there is not much equity in it. My credit is good 730. I understand that it may be difficult obtaining a second mortgage but I was told there are Hard Money Lenders who do loans for the purpose of flipping homes.Is this a viable option or should I look into different options? I do not have any cash to put up but not sure if they will use the title of the house I want to flip to secure the loan. Anyone have any experience or suggestions?  <response>: You shouldnt be buying homes if youre broke.Hard money is a thing, you can read more about it on biggerpockets.com.
