Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a Bridge Loan and when is it ideal for real estate investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used by real estate investors to "bridge" a gap in financing, often for a period of a few months up to two years. It's ideal for situations requiring quick access to capital, such as acquiring a property before long-term financing is secured, funding a fix-and-flip project, preventing foreclosure, or completing a construction project while awaiting a permanent take-out loan. They are asset-based, offering flexibility where traditional lenders cannot.
How quickly can I secure a Bridge Loan?
We prioritize efficiency to meet urgent funding needs. 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 rapid turnaround is essential for competitive markets and time-sensitive investment opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for Bridge Loans?
We lend on a wide range of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and land for development. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, making bridge loans accessible for diverse real estate investments.
Do you require an appraisal for Bridge Loans?
To expedite the process and align with the speed of bridge financing, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in various real estate markets, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and more efficiently for our clients.
