As experienced investors, what alternate financing processes would you use?

Without getting into all of the details, it's an expensive proposition for a small duplex.Although seemingly better suited for large properties, I looked into a submetering system as an alternative.  

Another alternative , maybe it's just the company you work for , the company culture,etc  and perhaps switching jobs to a different company might make things better? 

This may be a solution and better alternative to a hard money lender for a first time flipper.

Alternatively, I have owned a separate LLC for 3+ years which could probably qualify for a large enough business line of credit to purchase outright.

Thomas S may say you can get your rent.. but this is different..Ultimately you are in control of your building because your going to be held responsible for whatever decisions you make.Make the right one. protect your building, safety first. and Florida shelters are still operating so people do have alternate places to go. until all is safe. 

Alternatively, or in parallel, you can take some of your cash and invest w/experienced syndicators who do this all day long.  

I don't know what kind of property you have in mind but you will be fairly limited on LTV and rates that isn't going to vary much from what you could get on Alternative Funding. 3) I would highly suggest you prepare for a purchase using whatever financing method, but then offering a NNN/option with the same amount being offered as a down payment.

Tax liens are another low-dollar asset in the alternative asset space, but the time invested in finding and acquiring good liens can be significant.

I've explored RentecDirect a little bit as an alternative.
