Any other creative financing ideas?

Hey Everyone,I’m working a creative deal right now where the seller is willing to finance part of the deal at generous terms.

Also talked to various finance professionals to get creative on getting across the finish line.Initially it was me and one other GP, but we brought on a third GP to help us raise recently - pending him actually helping raise the funds.We're looking to raise 900k, 700k to close. 400k raised so far (including GP equity), 300k more needed, with 2 weeks left to close.

However, if you get creative, you may be able to get your first deal while having little money.

Yes, you need to be creative in this market as Shawn talked about.

It’s possible, just have to get creative and put in a little sweat work.

the longer answer is... if you are employing a combination of creative strategies then it's possible to reduce the amount of cash you need to put down / to close. 

If anyone has any favorite articles relating to frugality, house hacking, or any creative expense-minimizing techniques, please feel free to recommend them.

So my question is, are there any creative ways to make this work for everyone so they can generate their cash flow free and clear while I am able to have a better cash on cash return and have additional capital to deploy later?

Looking for creative options too like an assumable mortgage.
