Buying a primary residence using creative financing

[Beth Meurer]

I am making a big move in several months from CA to the east coast.  I would like to purchase a condo/townhome.  Since COVID, my previous business was closed so I've been on unemployment.  I believe my only option is creative financing; subject-to, owner finance, or something I am unaware of.  I am totally new to the real estate business so I would love some help in directing me as to how I can make this happen.  I know there are many people here with much more experience than me so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Have a great day!
