Frequently Asked Questions from Lakewood Real Estate Investors
What is a bridge loan and why is it ideal for Lakewood, WA?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge" the gap between immediate capital needs and more permanent financing. In the fast-moving Lakewood market, bridge loans are ideal for investors who need to close quickly on a residential property, finance a fix & flip project, or acquire a property before securing long-term debt. They provide speed and flexibility when traditional banks can't.
How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Lakewood, WA?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Lakewood residential projects, 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 crucial for securing competitive deals and reacting quickly to market opportunities for single-family homes or small multi-family units in Pierce County.
What types of residential properties do you lend on in Lakewood?
We specialize in residential investment properties in Lakewood, including single-family homes (1-4 units), duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small multi-family buildings up to 20 units. We also consider condos, townhomes, and land for residential development. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's profitability, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do you require an appraisal for Lakewood properties?
To expedite the process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the Lakewood real estate market, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster and get you the capital you need without unnecessary delays.
