Transitioning From Hard Money to Conventional

[Didier Bizimungu]

Hi all! 

Newbie question here. Once I've secured a hard money loan and used it to buy/rehab a home, how do I present my current situation to a traditional lender when acquiring a conventional loan on the property? 

Do I present the property as currently having a hard money loan on it with attached details? Or do I present it as owned by me? Also, how does a bridge loan differ in this scenario? 

Appreciate any insights here. My approach is buy & hold/rent.

Thank you,

Didier B.
