Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to "bridge" a financial gap, providing immediate capital while awaiting a longer-term financing solution or the sale of another asset. It's ideal for situations like purchasing a new investment property before your current one sells, covering immediate construction costs, or quickly accessing equity for another time-sensitive opportunity.
How quickly can I get a bridge loan from Waterman Capital?
We understand the urgency often associated with bridge financing. 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. Our efficient process is designed to ensure you don't miss out on critical real estate opportunities.
What types of property and situations qualify for a bridge loan?
We provide bridge loans for a wide range of investment property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential, commercial properties, and land. Common qualifying situations include non-contingent property acquisitions, avoiding foreclosures, construction loan payouts, or providing temporary capital while waiting for a traditional refinance or property sale.
Do you require a traditional appraisal for bridge loans?
To expedite the funding process crucial for bridge loans, we often utilize alternative valuation methods such as Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs), internal valuations based on recent comparable sales, or Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you the capital you need when you need it.
