I don't know what you could do for a loan to bridge the construction. 

Or go the hard money route by leveraging 90/100 with a 7% rate bridge loan and refinance once the project is completed?

If you are planning on flipping property I would urge you to look at a bridge loan which can be originated by "private money" or some lending institutions will do bridge loans as well.  

im in the same boat looking to develop a 2 acre stretch of warehouses into a 65 unit mixed use loft development. i have started meeting with city officials and we have brought on a community planner and project manager. both local to deal with the city, permitting, and bridging the gap between our new vision in a up and coming are and fit into the local culture. 

Both of these can be secured via a single bridge loan.  

In Galveston, my focus is on vacation rentals and if I crossed the bridge it would be completely different.

@Jeff Bridges If they didn't get the renters insurance but the lease agreement requires it, then wouldn't they be personally responsible for the damages?

If you are just looking for a short-term, bridge loan to purchase a rental property, this is very different from a long-term, permanent type of loan for a rental property.

Don't know if SC is different but a QCD in SC does not require the derivation section to show the previous owner and where their deed was recorded.I was recording a QCD 2 weeks ago and the Register of deed clerk told me she couldn't file this without the derivation section (that is required on a General warranty deed or a special warranty deed).I showed her that this was a QCD and she pretty much said "my bad" that I was correct and recorded it.I can give you a QCD to the Golden Gate Bridge with no burden of proof that I own any of it, but if I don't own any of it you got nothing.

The 65 corridor gets my props too for easy access to many of the attractions and downtown - if they could just fix the Rocks Bridge intersection I feel it could boom like some sections just off of the Parkway North.
