Frequently Asked Questions about Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it ideal for investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan designed to "bridge the gap" between an immediate capital need and a longer-term financing solution or asset sale. It's ideal when you need to act quickly, such as buying a new property before your current one sells, avoiding foreclosure, completing a fix-and-flip project before refinancing, or securing a property that requires immediate cash.
How fast can I get a bridge loan funded?
Speed is paramount for 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. This rapid turnaround is crucial for capitalizing on competitive and time-sensitive investment opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a wide range of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, and commercial properties. The key considerations are the property's current value, its potential, and a clear, viable exit strategy for the loan (e.g., sale, refinance, or project completion).
Can a bridge loan help me buy a new home before selling my current one?
Yes, this is one of the most common and effective uses of a residential bridge loan. It allows you to leverage the equity in your existing home to purchase a new one without the pressure of a contingent sale, giving you flexibility, a competitive edge in the market, and the ability to move at your own pace.
