Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge" a financing gap between an immediate need and a more permanent solution. Investors use them to quickly acquire a property before securing long-term financing, to fund renovations before a sale, or to manage cash flow during a property transition. They are ideal for time-sensitive situations where speed and flexibility are paramount.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund my bridge loan?
We specialize in rapid execution. For qualified 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 speed allows investors to capitalize on opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan with Waterman Capital?
We lend on a broad spectrum of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential, apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and land. The key is the property's underlying value and a clear, viable exit strategy for the bridge loan.
What is the typical duration and exit strategy for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are typically short-term, ranging from 6 to 24 months. Common exit strategies include refinancing into a permanent loan, selling the property, or completing a development project. We work with borrowers to ensure a clear and viable exit plan is in place from the outset, ensuring a smooth transition.
