I’ve heard of a few different options but would love to hear your experiences, especially if you've used gap funding on flips, new construction, or commercial projects.

I do have monthly mortgages to be paid and not having rental income to offset my negative cash flow has been a learning experience and really trying to think of what options I have to have better success at this.

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

I reviewed about a dozen options.

My two favorite loan options for getting started are the FHA 203k or the Fannie May Home Style. 

I guess my only other option is to add padlocks onto the cash boxes on top of the regular keyed entry.

Having the VA option is certainly a benefit and we're excited to get started now.  

So all of the gain and depreciation recapture are initially still tax deferred.However, like Joe said, the down side is later when sold  you lose the 1031 option. the client will pay tax on all gain and depreciation recaptured from before the 1031 also. 

As for financing, make sure to explore options for using rental income to qualify, and be prepared for a 20% down payment.

Lenders can have different loan options based on the property type and the amount of rehab (if any) required for the project.
