If you have a track record, you could potentially solicit a private lender for an 18 mth note to bridge you to the 12 mth title seasoning you'll likely need.

The last thing you want to do is burn alot of bridges by showing your new found buyers a bunch of lousy deals.6.

Commercial Real Estate ie 5 units or more of multifamily does have a hybrid lending category called bridge financing.

Hey Rich,I'm just across the bridge.

I have experience using a Hard Money Loan to "bridge" the gap between non-traditonal financing to a traditional source.

I don't want to say the wrong thing right off the bat and burn a bridge just by saying something stupid.

Right on Jeff Bridges!

It seems like they are always applying for funding from CDBG (community development block grants) or HUD grants to fund their purchases and rehabs.I have been looking for a way to bridge the private side of our business (HMLs,) with the public side (tax credits, etc) It seems like you mentioned that you have done that before.

It is bridging the gap that is hard.

Agreed K. but there is usually no requirment for the sale of property obtained through ED as it is acquired for the public purpose, they can do with what they like, pave over it, build a bridge or highway or seel it to Joe and Steve.
