What are all the ways you can finance a deal?

[Blaine Alger]

As I have been getting more interested in real estate investment, I have found out that financing is one of the most important parts of the deal. However I feel like I don't have a complete understanding of all the financing options out there. Can anyone provide me a quick run down of all the different ways you can finance a deal? From the most basic to the most complicated. Or just point me to a prior forum or blog post.
