@Jimmy Lieu, thank you for the offer.

It’s been pretty competitive here (partly bc we’ve gotten some BP nods over the last year) but I’ve definitely noticed a drop in offers and competition.

Look for a local credit union that can offer a cash-out refinance once the work is done, ideally with minimal seasoning.

Also, some helocs will offer Interest Only payments, some that go above 90% LTV may ask for 1% of the outstanding balance or 1.5% of the outstanding balance.

Quote from @Arshiya Taami: I am planning on purchasing a profitable business with its real estate included in florida and the dscr is 1.85. the problem is im just short of 600k for the down payment. that being said, can anyone provide me any reputable loan companies that will offer bridge loans and what their requirements are. thank you in advance! 

When you go to a Bank or Credit Union, they can only offer you what products that bank or credit union offer. 

It's going to offer Strong economic growth, Appreciation (especially in DFW), Tax advantages (no state income tax), and a Growing population, including infrastructure and amenities. 

For the first time in years I’ve noticed many of the larger apartment complexes even offering the first month free to fill vacant units, so it’s clear that demand is down.

You could offer cash for keys to get her out-NEVER hand over any money until they are out and you have the keys and signed paperwork that they are out of the property. 

If you ask them to write an offer, don't disappear for weeks at a time after you make the offer.
