However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.

I’ve heard of a few different options but would love to hear your experiences, especially if you've used gap funding on flips, new construction, or commercial projects.

I Hope with this new perspective perhaps some new options have opened up for you! 

I think the first step would be to contact a lender and figure out our best options moving forward.

We are trying to think of all our options for a rehab loan.

Yes, they are actually selling individual units as well

From time to time, I will see brokers list in the private remarks - "The property can't close until X date unless the buyer wants to pay for early issue title insurance. " This may be an option for you but TIME IS MONEY and why lose potential buyers or offers by creating roadblocks to your flip project.

We have done lots of research about the city, but I know there are things that can come up from people with experience, especially since we are OOS (and out of country too actually!).

One option is to buy the home and pay them out in installments rather than taking out a bank loan right away.

I am thinking of taking that option and also discussing with a lawyer how I should prep for it.
