Combine Funding Sources

If you understand the principles of the Funding Stack, discussed here, you can apply them to create a funding solution for your project. You've worked out a deal with the seller to carry back financing on the project but you still need $56,000? Perhaps you can meet that need with a private lender or an equity partner. Or perhaps you can combine equity partners to fully fund a deal. Or perhaps an equity partner can provide the money needed for the down-payment and additional cash requirements for a loan. There are many variations and possibilities. The purpose of this post is to make you aware of this and encourage you. Rather than conclude you can't do a deal because the out-of-pocket expenses are too high, consider how you might bring in another funding source to make it happen. In a separate post we will provide a list of ten funding sources.
