Will hard money lenders lend on something of this size?

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

As you mentioned intentional flips are typically considered inventory-This means the income is ordinary income and as such: - Is not a capital gain, so hold time of 1 year does not change to a better long-term capital gain rate - Can not be invested in a QOF Deductions related to it can't be pushed or changed- all costs are accounted for with the inventory component 

Hope this helps.
