Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it typically used?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" the gap between two financing stages or transactions. It's ideal when you need quick capital to seize an opportunity (like purchasing a new property before selling an existing one), complete a construction project, refinance out of another loan quickly, or when waiting for conventional financing to be approved.
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 loans in as little as 3-7 business days, with most closings within 10 business days. This rapid funding allows you to act quickly on time-sensitive opportunities and maintain momentum on your projects.
What types of properties are eligible for bridge loans?
We offer bridge loans for a wide range of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and land (especially with clear development or exit plans). Our focus is on the underlying value of the asset and a robust exit strategy for the bridge loan.
Is an appraisal always required for a bridge loan?
To expedite the process for bridge loans, we often utilize efficient valuation methods like BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) or conduct thorough internal valuations based on recent market comparables and our extensive expertise. While a full, traditional appraisal may be required in some specific cases, our goal is to provide fast funding, so we opt for the most efficient and reliable valuation methods possible.
