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 financing gap. It's ideal when you need quick capital, such as purchasing a new property before your current one sells, avoiding foreclosure, covering construction costs temporarily, or to capitalize on a time-sensitive investment opportunity that traditional financing would miss.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are known for their speed. For qualified projects with clear exit strategies, 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 situations where timing is critical.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
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), and even land for development. The key focus is on the property's value and the viability of your short-term strategy and long-term exit.
Do I need a strong exit strategy for a bridge loan?
Yes, a clear and strong exit strategy is crucial for bridge loans. Since these are short-term solutions, lenders need to understand how the loan will be repaid (e.g., sale of another property, refinance into a permanent loan, completion and sale of a development). We work with you to ensure your exit strategy is robust and achievable.
