Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a type of short-term, asset-backed financing designed to "bridge" a financial gap, providing immediate capital while waiting for a longer-term financing solution or property sale. It's ideal when you need to quickly acquire a new property before selling an existing one, for time-sensitive rehab projects, or to cover expenses while awaiting permanent financing.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary advantage of bridge loans. For qualified projects, Waterman Capital can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most bridge loans closing within 7-15 business days. This rapid turnaround is essential for critical transitions and seizing market opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for bridge financing?
We lend on a wide range of investment property types for bridge loans, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and sometimes even land acquisition. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do bridge loans require an appraisal?
To expedite the process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and market expertise, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster, which is often a key requirement for bridge loan scenarios.
