Wondering what are the different ways everyone got the money to put down on a property and the way to finance it?

Something I do with my wife is quarterly money dates.

If not I wouldn't bother selling as there is an incredible amount of money lost in buying and selling properties, so you have to make sure you have a plan to maximize the equity and actually have enough. 

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

If you don't look at them before buying in person, you will get burned at some point and regret it.   

If they are available online or in person.

Do you have other collateral, such as another income property or your personal residence (last resort) your seller could record their lien against? 

Very unfortunate as continue to see people who are providing others with money and not understanding until its too late that their money was never secured and was gone the moment they wired those funds

I personally did a couple last year that I self furnished and self manage while working full time.  

I strongly recommend against people buying real estate with zero money.
