Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it ideal for residential investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge the gap" between financing needs. For residential investors, it's ideal for quick acquisitions of 1-4 unit homes or small multi-family buildings, allowing you to secure a property before selling another, fund a rehab project, or stabilize a distressed asset prior to securing long-term conventional financing. They offer speed and flexibility where traditional lenders fall short.
How fast can I get funded for my residential investment property?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified residential projects (1-4 units, small multi-family up to 20 units), we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is critical for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities.
What types of residential properties qualify for your bridge loans?
We specialize in bridge loans for a wide range of residential investment properties, including single-family homes (1 unit), duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes (2-4 units), and small multi-family apartment buildings up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.
What is the typical loan term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are designed to be short-term. Our typical loan terms for residential investment properties range from 6 to 24 months. This provides ample time to execute your exit strategy, whether that's selling the renovated property, refinancing into a long-term loan, or stabilizing the asset to increase its value.
Do you require an appraisal for residential bridge loans?
To expedite the process for our bridge loan clients, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in residential real estate, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and more efficiently, particularly for 1-4 unit and small multi-family properties.
