Frequently Asked Questions from Florida Investors
What is a bridge loan and why is it ideal for Florida's real estate market?
Bridge loans are short-term, asset-based loans designed to 'bridge' a financial gap. They are ideal for the fast-paced Florida market because they offer speed and flexibility that traditional banks can't match, making them perfect for acquisitions, rehabs, or when you need to quickly access capital against an existing property while securing long-term financing.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan on a Florida property?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Florida projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is crucial for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities across Florida.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Florida?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment property types across Florida, including single-family homes (1-4 units), small multi-unit residential properties (up to 20 units), and properties undergoing rehab or requiring quick acquisition. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Florida bridge loan properties?
To expedite the bridge loan process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the Florida real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and provide capital when you need it most.
