Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a Bridge Loan and when is it ideal?
A bridge loan is a short-term, secured loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap. It's ideal for situations requiring quick capital, such as acquiring a new property before selling an existing one, refinancing to avoid foreclosure, completing construction, or securing funds for business expansion while awaiting permanent financing. They offer speed and flexibility when conventional loans are too slow.
How fast can I get funded for a Bridge Loan?
We pride ourselves on efficiency, a key benefit 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 time-sensitive transactions.
What types of properties qualify for Bridge Loans?
We lend on a wide range of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and land for development. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, providing flexibility beyond strict borrower credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Bridge Loans?
To expedite the process and maintain the speed advantage of bridge loans, we often utilize efficient valuation methods such as BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions), AVMs (Automated Valuation Models), or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and market expertise. This helps us close faster than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal.
