Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it ideal?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a gap between two transactions or provide immediate capital for a time-sensitive opportunity. It's ideal when you need to acquire a property quickly, pay off existing debt, finance a renovation, or secure a new investment before permanent financing is in place.
How fast can I get funded with a bridge loan?
Speed is a core advantage of bridge loans. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is essential for investors looking to outmaneuver competitors or meet urgent financial requirements.
What types of properties qualify for bridge loans?
We offer bridge loans for a wide array of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and even land for development. The key focus is on the property's value, marketability, and the investor's exit strategy.
Do bridge loans always require a full appraisal?
To ensure speed, we often utilize efficient valuation methods like Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on current market data and comparable sales, rather than requiring a time-consuming traditional appraisal. This helps us expedite the closing process for your bridge loan.
