If you didn't use YOUR CASH for a downpayment, what did you use?

[CJ T.]

Hello everyone,

Getting ready to invest in my first rental and I'm in the mood for an inspirational story time. 

I'm calling all the badass creative financing investors. If you didn't use YOUR CASH for your downpayment, what did you use? 

I am doing my own homework so I do know of a few ways, but some recent case studies from you guys would be much appreciated. So please do share! 

I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who didn't have a stated income, IRA or HELOC, and from commercial investors or those who use commercial loans.

Thank you in advance!
