Just regular old hard money or bridge loans.

Or, am I considering to purposefully step on a land mine and blow my nuts off with Tax burden, penalties and a shopping cart under a bridge?

It's not Trace Crossing or Ross Bridge by any means however, it doesn't get rated a D or F like it would if it was located in Hueytown for example because it's in Hoover.

I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANY INVESTOR FROM APPLYING FOR OR USING SHERMAN BRIDGE LENDING.

You can get bank funding for turn key at around 4 percent or fix and flip bridge money 8.99 or greater for one year.

Bridge, portfolio, foreign national and other specialty loan products.Key Bank, FLorida flexible lender, HELOCs on second homes and rental properties. 90% LTV on primary.

So that's water under the bridge, too -- your credit will be run again, either way, no matter what.Literally, there is absolutely no reason to stick with this lender.

BP bridge investors would like that!!!

First things first, let's talk city borders and real neighborhood borders.Despite what the Pittsburgh neighborhood map says - Brighton Heights as a neighborhood ends when you go across the Shadeland Avenue Bridge or down into "Woods Run", which is not technically a neighborhood, more defined by the valley between Brighton Heights and Marshall-Shadeland -the values and housing stock down there are VERY different from those up the hill.

Are hard-money lenders a good option for buy & hold properties (SFHs), or should I consider HMLs as a bridge to traditional financing?
