Alternative Financing Options

[Sarah Callahan]

Hey guys!

My name is Sarah and my husband and I own a small business in Upstate NY. This past year our interest was piqued about real estate and have been trying to learn as much as possible before our first buy. At the moment we have some money set aside for a down payment but are having trouble finding financing options. We have only owned this business for 1.5 years, and though successful, you can imagine that the banks are not exactly eager to finance our real estate ventures quite yet. :P We've been searching for owner financing and haven't given up on that possibility but also realize that they are few and far between. Does anyone have any similar experience/ideas on other ways we could get financing? Thanks so much!
