There's a map of all the properties listed on that site.  

We handle this all the time it's not difficult, just an extra step. 

I'm a General contractor here so I see this happen all the time with vacants that sit =) 

You can use HML don't get me wrong but if you just put a little bit effort in to pre-planning and getting all your ducks in a row then going with a traditional community bank would be a better option not only for your current new construction needs but also for future acquisitions.

I would also suggest finding a 100% LTC (loan to cost) lender that will fund all of your rehab and all of your purchase.

@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.

It's all about thinking big and creating a real estate empire that would make Buffet and Trump blush.

I tend to invest more in South Abilene and many in Wylie ISD but have seen investments produce good cash flow all over Abilene. 

Then check off all the things you need to do to buy a property and get them done (get preapproved, find an agent, contractor, etc.) 

I am showing 2-4 unit properties all the time here in Phoenix and I can send you the recent closings and listings I have been working on.
