Perfect Opportunity. Horrible Timing

[Amanda Smith]

I have been presented with a heck of an opportunity and I am hoping I can get some advice here. 

I am a REALTOR and recently listed a group of 8 apartments. Very nice, built in 1998.  

The owner of the property is a friend of my family and has recently offered me a killer deal on purchasing the properties.  Way to good of a deal to pass up.  At the moment, my credit score is poor and really dont have any cash to put down.  I do have a family member with excellent credit score that would be willing to help me get established.  I am looking for some advice on how I could still make this deal happen.  If anyone would like to help a sister out and help guide me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
