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! 

Bigger Pockets sent out an alternative investment article which included ATM investments as a suggestion. 

To get started with fix and flips, first define your criteria, including location, property type, and budget.

Hi, Jaycee The deal makes sense for me after accounting for all expenses including vacancy, cap ex, and repairs.

This has become challenging due to an increased interest in the historic district in Dubuque due to revitalization plans that include 18 million dollar investment into the historic downtown area. 

I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

First, the $316K w/study seems a little light, and I would interested to see some more details on what they included in their 5,7,15 year asset classes.

Agreed- with a long term rental you can be very clear and upfront about all the nuances/quirks of the property and what is included because the transaction has far more direct communication.

Need to be sure you include the "unknown budget" and never take the optimistic approach as it is better to have money left at the end than writing more and more checks that were unplanned for.Again, if you can walk through an actual property and compare notes with someone that does it in your area (key factor), you will be way ahead of what a generic book can give you.
