Unfortunately, we are one of those groups that will be searching for a refi option in this current climate as our bridge loan rate has doubled. 

I have a bridge/rehab loan. 

Once re-subdivided, before the amended subdivision plat is recorded with the City, I will need to install a water line and a CMU wall along adjacent property.Does anyone have experience with a type of bridge financing to purchase vacant land and close fast?

They also may be more professionally organized, for instance a company that specializes in bridge loans, fix and flip loans, and DSCR loans are considered private money because of where their capital came from vs. a credit union or a bank. 

If you're using conventional or other long term loans for fix and flipping, yes, you will pretty quickly burn the bridge to get those loans. 

Trying to balance between stern and not getting taken advantage of with being understanding and not trying to burn a bridge of a relationship with a contractor I planned to use for future rehabs because I have been impressed with his quality of work and price before.

Quote from @Matthew Bridges: How did you get started investing in real estate?

If it is a significant difference, you can find an HML to cover most of the purchase and partner with someone to bridge the gap for the rest of the funds needed.

Rehab Wallet is the best for short term (bridge and fix and flip).They're extremely easy to use. 

The seller agent suggested a bridge loan, but I’d need my cash to do a renovation on the studio, so I can’t do a huge down payment... does anyone have experience with any creative financing options regarding bridge loans?
