I asked the owner of an off-market motel if he was thinking about selling.

Different loans, like those from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, DSCR loans, and others such as hard money and bridge loans, each have their own rules and benefits.

I know you mentioned you are looking to flip houses yourself in the BHAM market. 

Also the market and income level (5 miles around the property) is also critical.

Bridge loans can be extremely useful for situations where you may be purchasing a property that has tenants already in the property who are well under market rents to the point where a DSCR loan wouldn't cash flow.

Obviously there are mature markets where this no longer stands out.
