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-backed loan designed to "bridge the gap" between transactions or provide immediate capital for time-sensitive opportunities. They are ideal for situations where you need to purchase a new property before your existing one sells, require quick funds for a rehab project, or need to close on a deal rapidly before traditional financing is secured.
How quickly can I get approved and funded for a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary advantage of bridge loans. For qualified projects, we can often provide funding in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This allows you to act fast on market opportunities and meet urgent deadlines.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a variety of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and sometimes land for specific development projects. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's profitability.
What is a typical term and exit strategy for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans typically have terms ranging from 6 to 24 months, with interest-only payments. The common exit strategy is either the sale of the property being bridged, the sale of another asset, or refinancing into a longer-term, conventional loan once the property has been stabilized or repositioned.
