Funding ideas for 1st rental property

[John Renfer]

What is the best option right now for funding down payment of a 1st rental property? I'm building up a cash position but fall well short of the 20%-25% down required by most traditional lenders.

A fellow investor friend has offered me the ability to purchase a well-established rental property with a tenant in place but my current cash position leaves me well short of the amount needed to purchase. Thanks
