There are also 'mezz' lenders (typically for larger transactions) who will cover up to 90% CLTV and require you to bring the remaining equity to the deal, and additionally there is Gap Funding in the form of unsecured personal debt.The latter can potentially be the most expensive option, but allows for true 100% financing as there are no restrictions for how to use these funds, as they are unsecured, and generally obtained through personal credit, income etc (since there is no collateral for obtaining these funds).

Finally the pro formas that they provide are absurdly basic and neglect at least 25% expenses, so are essentially useless.
