Commercial lending on "distressed" assets

[Tony C.]

Hi BP - there may be an obvious answer to this question: do big banks usually lend on commercial assets that are vacant upon purchase? If I plan to purchase the property as is, demo all the structures on the land, and rebuild, will a big bank help, in terms of lending, on the purchase + demo + rebuild costs? 

If not, alternatively, what are feasible options for seeking financing for purchase + rehab + rebuild?

Thanks!
