Welcome to TN, the water is warm. 

Hello I am trying to see how I can go about getting down payment funding on an investment property. any ideas or creative options?

Hopefully this helps clarify things a bit!

Quote from @Wilson Pereira De Oliveira: I didn't know about this rent control limits in Berkeley.

This is a decent list, but it doesn't matter.

A friend of mine, who's been investing in Austin for years, mentioned that this approach is opening up more opportunities for both developers and residents.In my own experience here in Phoenix, flexible zoning has been a game changer.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Do you find it’s easier or harder to close deals this time of year?

When i clock that it takes me to a new page, asks me to log in or pay $99 for a packet.

Glad to hear it!
