Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it most effective?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap, typically used when an investor needs to quickly acquire a property, refinance an existing loan, or transition to permanent financing. It's most effective for time-sensitive situations like securing a new property before an existing one sells, or covering immediate capital needs for a project under development.
How quickly can I secure a bridge loan from Waterman Capital?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified bridge loan projects, we can often fund in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is crucial for allowing investors to capitalize on fleeting real estate opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for bridge financing?
We provide bridge loans for a broad spectrum of real estate, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), apartment buildings, various commercial properties (retail, office), and even land for new construction. Our lending decision prioritizes the asset's value and the project's viability.
Do bridge loans require a traditional appraisal?
To ensure speed and efficiency, we often utilize Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive market experience. This expedited valuation process helps us close bridge loans faster than traditional lenders who rely solely on lengthy appraisal processes.
