Alternative funding/private funding

I recently graduated nursing school (hello job security) and I want to invest in real estate. The problem is I'm having trouble getting my first full time job- my lovely school messed up three times and screwed me out of 3 months of wages. Now that everything is straightened out I'm applying like crazy with no success as of yet. I'm working almost full time where I'm at now- $24 an hour, my credit score is 724 ish and I have no bad remarks on my history.

I have already missed out on two properties I loved because of this nonsense with my school and now there's a third one that's even better than the first two. Properties in this town go quick- in as little as three days. It's three units, I had planned to buy it with an FHA, live in one, rent the other two.

Has anyone had any success with unconventional funding?? I feel like if it sounds too good to be true it probably is....
