I don't want to burn any bridges or just blow anyone off.

@Jeremy Bridges it really depends on how hands on you want to be.

@Jeff Bridges  Lets say you purchase this house for $30000+closing cost=  $33000.

I found a hard money lender, that lends on owner occupied homes and also a bridge loan lender that will lend for 12mos (high interest and all) but both companies require a significant down payment (35% hard money and 25% bridge loan).

A construction loan is a short-term bridge loan that you must replace with more permanent financing. 

You are right next to the beach, golden gate park, golden gate bridge, the presidio, land's end, and much, much more.

To me, an appraisal seems a fair way to bridge the price expectation gap between the buyer and the seller.

Hey BP,I’m new to the RE world, and have had a blast bridging my learning curve over the last year.

If you're living under a bridge, moving into a house or apartment will dramatically improve your life. 

@Terrence Williams - I know it seems counterintuitive to not use debt... but basically 2 reasons:1) We bought a distressed deal and the bridge financing would have been too expensive2) Less risk and now we don't have to worry about the debt service
