For a 5+ bridge loan this is what you can expect:Need as is value to be 250k+You will only get 75% toward purchase and 100% of the rehab max and if you are new to investing this will be sort of an impossible first deal for financing especially if you think 20% is a lot to be in for.

That happening while everything is hunky dory in the economy, news, world, is essentially impossible.

I learned about finding a deal which should have positive cash flow but it seems increasingly impossible in today's market, especially in Austin TX area.

They're nearly impossible to find.

Although HELOCs are generally more challenging for investment properties and might come with higher interest rates, it's not impossible to find one with effort.I have a VA lending contact who is a retired Army veteran himself.

Because it's nearly impossible to find a buyer at the price he's asking.

Which is impossible to find under $300k. 

A further note:  It would be impossible to perform background checks on illegals. 

In my market, my duplexes all gross more than 1% per month of the price/cost (2% is impossible in my area). 

Houses in South Florida are a little more pricey but it's not impossible.
