Can't sleep under a bridge for free.. know what I mean?

Jerome,I haven't crossed this bridge yet with my properties, but I will soon.

I figured it is just a house, no need to burn bridges--better deals are out there where my agent will be able to get paid as well. 

We're an active lending in the 1-4 conventional space but eventually we all make that transition into the 5+ MFH space which requires different metrics to adhere to (debt service coverage ratio, net worth, liquidity, and experience) that is not cared for in the conventional space.The conventional space is mainly ran through AUS or automated underwriting systems for 1-4 unit properties when it comes to fannie mae or freddie mac.Its good to have the capability to do both so you can seamlessly move from one type of financing to another and have the entire toolbox of loan products available to you (private money loans PML @Beth Johnson, HML or hard money loans/bridge, conventional, commercial variants (there are large banks, small communities, regionals, credit unions, and fannie freddie agency in the 5+ space too, along with Life companies or LifeCo, CMBS collateralized mortgage back securities).Let me know what questions might come up on your end.

(Lots of people want to build, but they can't sell their homes, and absolutely no one wants to get a bridge loan anymore.)We got started in short sales to supplement our income while waiting for the home building business to rebound.

Permanent long-term fixed rate, short term bridge, mezzanine, etc. all have homes within these funds that continue to shift allocations into debt strategies.

We're at the Mackinac Bridge area, Mackinac Properties and Northern Michigan Vacation Rentals.

The buyer's bank did a full appraisal that came in at 84k (which was kind of low considering they were comping it to houses "over the bridge", but it's a revitalizing area, and there aren't a lot of comps for fully remodeled houses yet - but at least that appraiser used the fully remodeled houses and took into consideration some of the things my house had that others didn't).

I have 77k in cash that I can use to bridge the gap.
