Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it the right solution?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financing gap between an immediate capital need and a future, more permanent financing solution or property event (like a sale or stabilization). It's ideal for quick acquisitions, avoiding foreclosure, facilitating a 1031 exchange, or providing capital for renovations or lease-up periods before a property qualifies for conventional long-term debt.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary advantage of bridge loans. For qualified commercial and investment projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 5-7 business days, with most loans closing within 7-15 business days. This efficiency is critical for capitalizing on market opportunities and navigating time-sensitive transitions.
What types of properties qualify for bridge loans?
We provide bridge financing for a broad spectrum of commercial and investment properties, including multifamily apartments (5+ units), retail centers, office buildings, industrial warehouses, mixed-use properties, hospitality assets, and even land with approved development plans. Our focus is on the property's value, potential, and the borrower's exit strategy.
Do you require an appraisal for bridge loan properties?
To expedite the process for bridge loans, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions), third-party valuations, or conduct our own internal valuations based on market comparables and asset potential. While full appraisals may be required for larger commercial transactions or specific property types, our flexible approach helps us close faster, making sure you don't miss out on critical opportunities.
