So far Grandview area has worked out very well, as well as Red Bridge Road area around the IHOP prayer room.  

Could be folks doing renovations, or buy and holds, or bridge or whatever else. 

Any time people mention the "what if" questions I just say "we'll cross that bridge when we get there!"

In March of 2018 I can qualify for a conventional mortgage or I can get qualified now for a bridge loan which has an interest rate of 7.375% and $7,000 closing costs with a 2 year prepayment penalty.  

When you portfolio is very large, and has a track record of stability, then the lender can bridge the portfolio income at which point W2 becomes less important.

Our Financial Solution provides fast funding for projects nationwide.We provide a wide range of financing alternatives, including Hard Money Loans (non-conventional, non-credit based loans for borrowers with poor credit, or in foreclosure or bankruptcy), Sub-Prime, Bridge, Construction, Rehab, Private Equity, and Stated Income.

Super investor friendly, have all kinds of great debt products (Fannie, Freddie, HUD, Bridges, Mezz) and will work with you through the entire process. 

Tread carefully, and know your state law before you jump off that bridge.  

@Quay Wallace Watkins, I recommend looking into Jonathan Twombly at Two Bridges Asset Management.
