Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan designed to 'bridge' a financial gap. It's ideal when you need to acquire a new property before your existing one sells, to quickly access capital for a time-sensitive investment, or to cover expenses while awaiting long-term financing. It provides fast, flexible financing when traditional banks are too slow.
How fast can I get funded with a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary advantage 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 allows you to seize opportunities that require immediate capital and overcome delays associated with conventional lending.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We offer bridge loans for a wide range of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties, commercial real estate (retail, office, industrial), mixed-use buildings, and even land. Our focus is on the property's value and the viability of your clear exit strategy.
What's an 'exit strategy' for a bridge loan?
An exit strategy is your plan to repay the bridge loan, as these are short-term solutions. Common exit strategies include selling the property (either the one being purchased or another asset), refinancing into a traditional long-term loan, or securing permanent financing once a project is completed or stabilized. A clear exit strategy is crucial for bridge loan approval.
