You can always further your knowledge and experience on Construction Management after you establish your "foundation" and "bridge" in real estate investing.

If the property doesn't appraise at or above the agreed to purchase price, the deal may fall through unless the buyer is willing to bring money to closing to bridge the gap between what the bank will lend and what the seller is asking for.

I loaned the company another 100K as a bridge for a cash purchase and rehab.

Build your bridges before you need them.I don't know the best way to find a seller.

We typically fund fix & flips and construction of SFR and multi-family properties, short term bridge loans, and more. 

My "Bridge" financing is a LOC which has no term so one can pay interest only during the rehab/hold period.Just offering constructive criticism.  

I'm just across the bridge in Brooklyn.

If the offer is contingent on appraisal and it comes in lower, there are a few options:1) You can lower your price to the appraisal amount - the loan is based on the lower of the appraisal amount or the purchase price2) The buyer would have to come up with cash to bridge the difference.3) Appeal the appraisal - usually a good agent can do this pretty easily.
