short term down payment loan until my other property sells
Question for you guys - I've found an investment property that I REALLY want, believe is a great deal, and will be very profitable long term. Purchase price $480k. So need $96K for 20% down payment. I own another property (no mortgage) that I've listed for sale at $139k, so obviously that would cover the down payment, problem is it's not going to sell before I need to make an offer on this new property (which is now). What is the best way to go about getting a short term $96k loan for the down payment on my new property, which I will be able to pay back as soon as my old property sells? Thanks so much everybody!

No reason that couldn't work in theory, but that would probably be slower than a HELOC + vanilla mortgage, or sell and then buy (assuming the other property is priced to move, not priced to go stagnant).
