You could use a hard money bridge loan to purchase it.

Realizing that more funds are going to be needed on bigger deals I wanted know if there are many non bank lenders out there that do commercial bridge financing on vacant or nearly vacant properties and what points and rates might look like.I have tried to get traditional commercial bank financing with some of my small lenders that take the deal after its stabilized, but it seems to be an uphill struggle. 

Home is currently vacant and looking for a property manager.

I never like to burn any bridges.

Would an unsecured line of credit to bridge from one project to the next be the right way to go.

My idea might be to get a bridge loan until I can separate the property into qualifying units?

Account Closed the tax assessed value has basically nothing to do with actual value, so an offer for 30% of the asking price is just going to be a waste of time, if it makes sense close to the asking price for you go ahead and offer if not just move on to the next property, no sense in burning bridges with an insulting offer.

Has anyone ever used a bridge loan to help with a downpayment/to cover the entire down payment on a rental property?

@Josh TamminenNot sure, do you have any bridges for sale too?
