Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it typically used?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap between two transactions or during a transitional period for a property. It's commonly used by real estate investors to acquire a new property before selling an old one, to fund renovations or construction completion, or to secure a property quickly before long-term financing is finalized.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund a bridge loan?
Speed is a key advantage of bridge loans. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is essential for investors needing to act quickly on time-sensitive opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a wide range of investment property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and land. Our focus is on the asset's underlying value and the project's viability, rather than solely on the borrower's credit history.
Do bridge loans require a full appraisal?
To expedite the funding process, we often utilize faster valuation methods such as Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive market experience, rather than requiring a time-consuming, traditional appraisal. This helps us close deals much faster than conventional lenders.
