I'm exploring different funding solutions to understand how others manage these situations.

If you have maturing debt on the property or need to deploy this cash elsewhere, I would try and see it through with your current lender & work toward a solution.

Private lenders or bridge lenders may also be a good fit, as they tend to offer more creative solutions compared to traditional banks.

I'm doing everything I can to learn about real estate investing (mainly via reading), and there are concerns I have about my future in this field, that I want some more clarification on, and better yet creative solutions.

Don't wait until it's a problem and then look for a solution; you'll drag out the process.I also recommend that you learn how to screen better.

I let other commercial agents know what my client is looking for to leverage their network of investors and help find a solution for my clients.Best of luck!

Really it's your own decision, but if you have zero money for a downpayment and your goal is to purchase an investment property now, a HELOC could be a good short-term solution. 

Could private lenders be the solution?
