How can I not miss this deal?? (creative financing)

[Lincoln Selk]

I have a great lead on a rental property that I can purchase from a friend. However, I purchased a property in August and don't have the money to move on a property without some creativity. I would love to be able to get this property (I'll spare you all the numbers but it's a great investment). 

How can I get creative/scrappy and find a way to structure a deal on this property? My father-in-law is a potential partner. It seems like there should be a way to structure a deal but I haven't been able to come up with anything. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have a $240k single-fam rental and am selling as we speak.  It breaks-even, maybe, and the market is good on the sale side.  The smart money in the fancier single-family space right now is selling in my area.

Most of my single-fam rentals are 1%ers at least.  Unless this thing rents out for $2400 a month or more, spend that money on a plex for some cash-flow.

Jack and Jill are just tough to get creative with.  They fear what they don't understand and need the money and loan pay-off to get their next place.   Don't fall in love with a property @Lincoln Selk.
