Frequently Asked Questions from Boston Residential Bridge Loan Clients
What is a bridge loan and why is it ideal for Boston residential real estate?
A bridge loan is a short-term, secured loan used to "bridge" a financial gap, typically lasting from 6 months to 2 years. For Boston residential investors, bridge loans are perfect for quick acquisitions, funding renovations before securing long-term financing (e.g., fix & flip or rehab-to-rent), or purchasing a new property before selling an existing one, especially in Boston's highly competitive market where speed is paramount.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan on a Boston residential property?
We prioritize efficiency to match Boston's rapid market pace. For qualified residential projects, we can often fund bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-12 business days. This speed is invaluable for securing competitive properties and reacting swiftly to market opportunities across Boston.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Boston for bridge loans?
We lend on a wide range of residential property types across Boston, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units, up to 20 units), condo conversions, townhouses, and properties requiring significant renovation. Our focus is on the property's potential value and the project's profitability, not solely on the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Boston bridge loans?
To expedite the bridge loan process for Boston properties, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations. These are based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the Boston residential real estate market. This approach allows us to close faster than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal, which is crucial for bridge financing.
