Any thoughts on more creative financing other than taking money out of my personal house?

Leasing Management Program Overview The Leasing Management Program will involve the following activities: • Annual review of all units via the tax assessor database to identify potential "hidden" leasing situations. • Creation and maintenance of a list of all units/owners approved for leasing. • Creation and maintenance of a leasing waiting list for homeowners requesting to lease their units. • Creation and maintenance of a list of tenants' names and contact information. • Inclusion of tenants in the association website with "renter" level access. • Inclusion of tenants in the violation system, including sending notices to them when needed. • Regular monitoring of approved leases to ensure proper actions are taken at the leasing expiration and renewal dates. • Preparation of quarterly reports for the Board of Directors outlining the current status of the leasing program. • Coordination with the Association attorney as needed for enforcement of the leasing provisions. • Assessment and collection of costs for this program from the leased units by the authority of the Community Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs), $150/year.

Discover, for instance, will deposit the money for your "balance transfer" directly into your checking account, and often has specials for 0% financing for 12 months with 3% up front transfer fee, or 5% financing for 18 months with 0% transfer fee.

You are looking for a Hard Money loan.

I would recommend contacting your local government and requesting a list of properties with back taxes, then start analyzing the areas where you think you can add value.

I am looking to purchase a tax deed for under 40k and need a loan or 10k in funding. 

If so, that would be a good starting out point as $20k can be enough with a hard money loan and a lower value property (although likely challenging in CA).DSCR Loans are an option for turnkey and a refinance - there is no DTI involved in the qualification so salary does not matter

@Youssef Labib  I don't know about the success rate of this or any big guru program, however my thought is most people at the end have parted with a large sum of money with nothing to show for it. 

.* We could lose money on a project, or make twice our planned profit. * The amount of hours spent managing could vary, based on size of remodel and number of contractors involved (10 hours or 80 hours, paid the same).* The house could sit on-market a while, meaning the PM doesn't take a commission for 6-9 months on that project.
