The only other option I see is a short sale, if you don't need to purchase for a few years and don't mind a temporary credit hit to save the $60k.  

Or you can probly turn the other unit into a short term rental? 

They should ONLY include properties of the same size (sq ftg), and within a short distance form this property.Lastly, your profit comes after you recover your cash you put in.

@Karen SmithAs jay mentioned private lending has been around forever and it’s really not on the rise - I think it’s always been a large player in the real estate investment space for short term loans.
