Ultimately, you could be looking at a workout.But, if you want to keep it to cashflow, publish some lease-to-own ads to get some folks who have steady income, poor credit, a decent nest egg stashed and want to own.

A bank account with positive activity is a huge thing, as soon as I could i put any bill I could under my business(cell, internet, ect.)That helped as well to get a CC and the rest is history!

If your investor is like me and we are making money the last thing I am going to do is kill the goose that lays the golden egg..
