What to Do: First Property, Can't Qualify for Loan

So I've found a property that might be a good deal. However, I won't qualify for a bank loan on anything over ≈$55,000 due to being a college student (low income and debt). What are some ways I can work around this issue?

    You can take a look at private money or hard money or get a co-borrower to help boost your borrower profile.
