The current condo I own is non-warrantable which eliminates utilizing traditional loans. 

As a college student traditional financing won’t work for me anymore as I already had to get my father to co-sign my 1st loan.

I am currently  in the process of purchasing my next primary home in GA using a VA loan and my own savings as a down payment. 

The balance on the Loan is 40k.

@Bill Brandt Here's the breakdown: Bought it for $4.95MEarly loan payoff is ~$175k ($5M @5% 30 yr fixed investor note)Conveyance Taxes ~$90kImprovements $1.6M ($400k done on lower property)... 

You could also consider unsecured term loan options and zero percent credit cards depending on your credit profile and income.Temporary Fixes: If a full repair isn't feasible right now, you might consider temporary solutions.

I would buy a property that needs a little bit of work, and then use a hard-money loan to pay for the property and the repairs.

A lot of people chase cash flow, but the reality is that even if you just break even while renting it, you'll still be making money through appreciation, depreciation, and loan paydown.

The loan was originally $25k.
