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.

I like good neighborhoods, with sloped tile roofs, stucco siding, built in the last 20 years. 90% of Las Vegas SMF checks none of these boxes. 

Selling to the wrong buyer can become more expensive than carrying the home for slightly longer.I will buy my bath/kitchen fixtures at a plumbing supply house and not a big box store.

I would also say that many real estate salespersons will not be committed to an investor that just tells them to send properties to them that fit their buy box and then never hear from them again. 

You can buy crappy cabinets from the box store made of particle wood, or nicer plywood cabinets with soft close hinges, etc, or you can have custom cabinets made to your exact specification.  

The demand letter does not go anywhere except in tenant's junk box or undelivered mail.

I actually prefer some of these search and map features over the MLS.And those that think they can save $$ on commissions will be disappointed.

@Nick D.I'd start with identifying what your buy box is for your next property and what you are going to need for a purchase.

If a bird flies through one of the sets, the alarm does not go off.So you have two of these boxes, which can be set up to 300 feet apart. 

After the demo, there really is not much you can do to save outside of thinking outside the box on fixing whatever that might be that has come up.
