St. Louis investing help

[DJ Cummins]

Hello friends of the midwest! I recently used conventional financing to purchase a four plex on the Illinois side of the river, where I am from. I am actually ordering @Brandon Turner 's book on low and no money down today, but i am wondering if anyone has experience using any of these techqniques. Has anyone used Hard Money Loans? Do they do 100% financing on those? Just wondering about some alternative methods. I would like to keep growing, but have used most of my available funds for this first purchase(20% down).
