As mentioned by @Chris Mason, Bridge Loans: These short-term loans can provide immediate financing until more traditional financing becomes available or until the property stabilizes and becomes more attractive to lenders.Interest rates and stipulations may be a pain.Out of the box here and requires a few more research, SBA Loans: Small Business Administration loans can be an option, especially the SBA 7(a) loan program, which can be used for hotel acquisitions.I heard someone  mention - Mezzanine Financing: it involves a combination of debt and equity financing, which might appeal to some investors looking for higher returns.

Excited to join the BP community.About myself - I am a principal of a RE development company and co-founder of an proptech company. 

Offer to help with lead generation, driving for dollars, cold calling, or even administrative tasks.

I myself have been a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Southeast Michigan since 2021 when I turned 20 years old, and have took a bit of a hiatus since now to finish my Bachelors in Business Administration.

I’m really hoping the new administration can get Freddie and Fannie privatized.

I'd really vet the developer, their past projects, talk to prior partners (GP & LP) to see how prior development deals worked out and how the communication was, etc.
