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 financial gap, providing immediate capital until a more permanent financing solution is secured or an existing asset is sold. It's ideal when you need to act quickly, such as buying a new property before your current one sells, avoiding foreclosure, or completing a construction project.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified projects, we can often fund bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is crucial for bridging financial gaps and reacting quickly to market opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a wide range of property types for bridge loans, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and even land. Our focus is on the asset's value and the project's viability, not just the borrower's credit history.
Do bridge loans require an appraisal?
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 real estate markets, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster, which is key for bridge financing needs.
