You can get an SBA express loan (for Lines of Credit up to $350,000) or a 7A loan (term loan, but you can get them for working capital, it will be amortizing though).

I have other investors that have expressed interest in pooling money to do a project like this if I could find one worth pursuing in our area, so I also believe I could bring together the money to develop it and gain experience in developing properties, which is a primary goal of mine for the coming 5-10 years.
