Maybe seller holds a 2nd, maybe partner with someone, maybe get some F&F (friends and family) money, maybe offer a higher rate for the 2.5 years the 2nd is outstanding. 

Is it a SFR or multi family property?

Quote from @Mike Figueroa: I have 5 single family townhomes.

I’ve been interested in real estate for years and have invested as an LP in several projects, ranging from residential single-family homes to NNN properties and flipping.While I haven’t owned any property yet, I’m hoping to take that step in the near future.

Sites such as biggerpockets.com have many syndicators that participate in the forums.

If you’re renting an apartment building to mostly Section 8 tenants, the main difference from single-family or smaller multifamily properties is scale—you’re dealing with more units, so you’ll need solid systems for maintenance and tenant management.

Could be their parents or other family  members.

The property that I have, my family owns is not currently an Airbnb or a short term rental.
