this might be somewhat unrelated and I might be a bit of a broken record here but I continue to stress this feedback that I really don't understand why it can't be changed - The financing options/terminology/content is very confusing and poorly defined here on BP - If you look at the financing options of "Find a Lender" and on the website / forums - there are terms and interchangeable content that has to be super confusing to people from a financing perspective - probably at least partially leading to excess questions and request posts - as it is extremely hard for a new or somewhat new investor to clearly understand all the options and numbers..My 2 cents(see below - what is the difference between a "Bridge Loan and "Fix & Flip" loan?

Plus it's right over the bridge, so its reasonable for MA residents to live there full time.

And besides bridge loans, which I'm already looking into, are there any other creative ways to hack this? 

For the past 15 years, private/hard money rates have averaged somewhere in the 12% to 15% ballpark for 6-to-12-month bridge loans.

And you may burn the bridge if you fire them from PM to where they don't do the rehab work anymore.

Nice city to start an investment career.I've closed many. many bridge/rehab loans. 

People often confuse hard money, NonQM, bridge, fix and flip, PML and other forms of lending as one umbrella of PML. 

recently heard that this area has a community developed, called Pradera Oaks (CR51/CANNON RD, Bonney, TX 77583), developed by Wan Bridge, advertised as affordable and has a big rent market and has the potential to appreciation.

bridge would be your best bet from a private lender 

From points of DC and Baltimore crossing over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge lands you on the Eastern Shore of the Bay.
