My thought, having been in the same pinch is to look for seller financing, a tired landlord who wants to sell on payments.

This has helped me out in several occasions when I am in a pinch. 

I would work on paying off that credit card debt and then pinching pennies for a down payment. 

My operation is a family operation, all of us have FT jobs(IT, Medical, Engineering), and we are pinching pennies together leveraging via your standard 20%-30% down payment, Investor Mortgage, or paying cash for a place to add to the Portfolio of Properties.  

Literally sitting over here pinching pennies on an inspection report - unreal Unless you're an expert in inspection/construction or getting an amazing deal that can overcome any problems you find about later - get the report 

People should though research and not put themselves in a pinch financially.

Penny pinching a little once in a while is ok but you will never get big by acting small.

As of today, everywhere is shop is around 4.1 to 4.3... in CA.In a pinch, with the right deal, HML at higher rates can make very good sense.

When you find people who are in a pinch and have to sell, get them under contract for a LOW price, then the buyers will line up at your door.

Two little kids who are siblings might share one in a pinch, but 2 teens or 2 adults do not want to sleep in a bed that small.
