This can bridge the cap as a conversation starter as well as lay the groundwork.

In the end you need to build one bridge, not begin many at once and never have it touch the end goal.Good luck

@Douglas Curtiss Just out of curiousity - what APY/APR are you getting on your CD and bridge loan?

There are some good hard money lenders, like Sherman Bridge, that fund deals in the Triad.

Seattle Times is how I stay up to date on the West Seattle Bridge situation, but I feel like there should be better sources. 

Also principal pay down over 2 years doesn't really help bridge the gap either.So are Seattle rental yields just crazy high or what?

Most bridge loans for fix-n-flip (we prefer the that term to "hard money") will give you anywhere from 75%-90% of the money for the purchase and up to 100% for the rehab, so you might not have to come up with as much as you think.

Last month they converted both HPC and 12 Bridges from LLC to Inc.
