@Jason Bible:I recently bought homebuyershouston though am just sitting on the URL right now as I've had some success sourcing through relationships/auctions.

We've found there are so many sources for funding out there that if you have a good deal the money will likely follow - someone will want to partner with you, or find seller financing, or find a hard money lender who will lend up to 90%, pull out equity in your first home if you can afford it, if you have a retirement account from an old employer, you may be able to roll it to a self-directed IRA that you can use to invest in real estate, etc...Another new one - have you considered renting out the second bedroom if you purchase your friend's house?
