What are some ways besides traditional financing for someone to get into a Commercial Property? 

HML will cover all properties, sight-unseenHML can fund quick, sometimes within one hourHML is usually easy to pay off if you're keeping the house and have it whipped into good enough shape to take traditional financingSome HML lenders will fund flippers with no interest payments, money due when house is sold or @ 12 months in a balloon paymentHML will give you better rates if you're experienced. 6 pts 18% is ridiculous.

If you can help sellers sell there property when they can't sell it a traditional way then I say you are providing a great service. 

They closed in 2 weeks from the date of application on their website, and the entire process was very streamlined compared to traditional financing.

I have other "traditional" offers coming in lower than current loan balance. 

I've recently been something like this.Ill give you X amount monthly until property "seasons" - appreciates over time - you will tell me your interest rate - and then refinance in about 3/7 years with traditional loan.

I'm assuming you do not have a 20% downpayment to pursure traditional financing.You need to account for property taxes and insurance.

That way you don't have to bump up the price to pay a traditional agent.

There are other options to those just starting out and have little capital to begin with than traditional banks.

You mentioned that you started a new job and have "non traditional income" therefore finding a lender may be a bit of a challenge, but there are ways to get creative.
