My agent did not, I guess he didn't want to burn a bridge?

For example, making hard money loan/bridge loans.

You bet there is - if you have that kind of cash, or even slightly less - just become a hard money guy and bridge transactions for people - stay outa the market yourself...

That water is under the bridge.

i know sherman bridge does in the Texas market.however if you are flipping a property i feel it's best to max out the ARV as high as you can get approved for when deciding to buy, hence increasing your potential profit spread.

I made sure I burned that 'going back bridge.'

You may nneed bridge financing, either hard money or private, which you can refi. once the building is up and cash flowing.

Jeff Bridges you commented how difficult it would be to find a renter & move out with minimal vacancy. in my case, this was not true. i moved out june 1st & had a renter in june 2nd.

You can get an appraisal for the finished unit, use a bridge loan and or construction-rehab loan based off the ARV.So, check conventional and non-conventional, private/hard money lenders.Get credit from material suppliers, use thier money!

College bridges those gaps, not for all, but for most.
