Options for down payment on first rental property

[Brian Gula]

I am a new member of the BiggerPockets community. I am really enjoying all the videos, articles and podcasts. I have been utilizing the rental property calculator to familiarize myself with what kind of deal would be needed to make a profit. Once I feel I have a good understanding, I'd like to to start to seriously inquire about purchasing properties. 

One of my biggest hurdles of getting started and narrowing down a price range is the down payment. Since I am looking at properties for solely rental use I'd like to stick with the target of 25% down.

So my question is, are there any other options to come up with the funds for a down payment other than the traditional use your "savings account"?
