Frequently Asked Questions from Cambridge Bridge Loan Clients

What is a Bridge Loan and why is it ideal for Cambridge residential investments?

A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap between two transactions or stages of an investment. For Cambridge's competitive residential market, it's ideal for investors who need to close quickly on a new property before selling an existing one, finance a renovation project to increase value, or secure a property when traditional financing is too slow.

How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Cambridge?

We prioritize efficiency for Cambridge investors. For qualified residential projects, we can often fund bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This swift turnaround is crucial for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities in the Cambridge area.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in Cambridge?

We provide bridge loans for a wide range of residential investment properties across Cambridge, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), and small apartment buildings intended for investment purposes. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's profitability, making us a flexible partner for diverse residential strategies.

Do you require an appraisal for Cambridge residential properties?

To expedite the bridge loan process for residential 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 Cambridge real estate market, helping us to close faster than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal.
