There really is no easy way to get caps. The only thing you can do to get caps would be to kill Raiders, loot their bodies, and sell the stuff they have. You could also go to places you've explored, like in a building or in the Metro, and find junk in there to sell. Another way to get caps is if you've found Reilly's Rangers and you tell them you will explore for them. You get like 30 caps for every place you find. The only drawback is you have to find Underworld to get Reilly and you also have to do a quest for her before you can map places for them. Hope This Helped

The easiest way in the beginning when you just get out of the vault is go to the wrecked houses just down the road there's a ton of loot and in one house there is a woman(can't remember her name) but I think she asks if Colin Moriarty sends you say no and she relaxes a bit after that kill her. I think she has a couple hundred caps on her and some pretty good loot for early in the game.

I of one way to get almost a thousand caps in the beginning,but it will require starting over at the point when you leave the vault. First off,when you get out and it asks you if you want to edit your game go it will have the three tags you can edit (from the goat test)the main skills it will put them near the thirties, tag speech ,medicine, and repair;and add seven out of the seventeen skill points you get to lockpock. Once you have done this go to megaton and talk to the sheriff about the bomb and try to talk him into giving you five hundred caps. If you fail repeat until you have a success this is why the repair need up. Collect your money.Be sure you get lady killer perk. Go to the clinic and talk to the doc and get him to break a confidence( this is where medicine and speech both come in save befor you talk to Leo)talk to Leo about his drug problem and choose the speech dialogue if success he gives you the key to his stash at the water processing plant .It will be in the desk in the back and this will get almost a hundred caps and meds and chems. Finally go talk to moriaorty start your errand to get silver she will have four hundred caps. Her house is the only one in the city you passed fully intacted. It will also be labled ranch. Go in kill her rob her and her house to get caps search we you will find a pilot light in the stove and chems in the house. Keep the pilot light it cAn be used to make a flaming lawnmower blade of death(not real name). Go back to the bar and talk to nova use ladykiller do not talk to moriaorty. If you obtained pass from nova (check notes) wait until you can use the terminal in the back safely. If you cannot obtain pass go to the cabinet by computer in back it has pass when done with info. Sneak out the door behind the terminal(computer). Walla you completed part of your quest and gained nearly a thousand caps. Also after you repair the three leaks bring scrap metal you find to walter at the water processing plant he'll give ten caps per piece of scrap.
