What was the best way you have financed an investment property?

[Nicholas Crum]

I am just thinking there has to be some good stories out there on how investors got their first investment property. I was chatting with a friend and this topic came up. He jokingly said to sell a kidney for $25,000 and how in 30 years it would make for a fantastic story. Obvisouly this is extreme but I am still curioius and just want to create friendly conversation on this site. I can't wait to read some of the stories!
