Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I consider one?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap, typically lasting from 6 to 24 months. It's ideal for situations requiring fast capital, such as purchasing a new property before selling an existing one, financing a quick renovation, avoiding foreclosure, or taking advantage of a time-sensitive investment opportunity that traditional banks can't accommodate quickly enough.
How fast can I get funded with a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary advantage of bridge loans. Waterman Capital can often approve and fund bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days for qualified projects, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is crucial for seizing opportunities and maintaining project timelines.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a diverse range of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), apartment buildings, various commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and even land for specific development plans. Our focus is on the property's value, the project's viability, and a clear exit strategy.
Do you require an appraisal for bridge loans?
To expedite the funding process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and market analysis, rather than relying solely on a traditional appraisal which can take more time. This allows for a much faster closing.
