Marc, depending on the deal, on a number of occasions I've bought properties with private (hard) money loans, held them for 6-18 months and then refinanced with bank financing.

The value proposition that you're buying is the blank-slate property (read: needs rehab) but by the time it's done you have a new roof, new kitchen, new ____ (insert 50 other things) and you can then turn it over to a property management partner that can get a tenant in there. 

You'll need it when the occasion to commit into RE investment is right.

For example, 10-20 unit apartment complex in blank county are trading at an "8 cap".
