If the property needs work, then a bridge option is something to look into.

You have a skillset that could be extremely useful for quick fixes and landlord issues and from there you can bridge relationships and partnerships to enhance your knowledge of real estate investing and couple your skills.

All that said, it's water under the bridge.

Even though you’re not fond of DSCR loans, it might serve as a bridge to free up your line of credit for quicker flip-and-reno opportunities.I remember years ago, a close friend of mine was in a nearly identical situation.. from what I read in Forbes, he ended up with zero wiggle room each month.

I’d suggest exploring a bridge loan that covers a portion of the purchase price along with 100% of the renovation costs.

Other's are cautious to share their resources so they dont burn bridges if things go south with a referred investor.

Also, townhomes are a great bridge property, it's a common trend that those in townhomes are aspiring for home ownership meaning credit sensitive and with that right mindset.
