Frequently Asked Questions from San Francisco Bridge Loan Clients
What is a bridge loan and why is it ideal for San Francisco residential investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term, interest-only loan used to "bridge" a financing gap between an immediate need for capital and securing long-term financing or selling an existing asset. For San Francisco's fast-moving residential market, bridge loans are ideal for investors needing to make quick, non-contingent offers, purchase a new investment property before selling another, complete a renovation, or access equity rapidly to capitalize on new opportunities.
What types of residential properties qualify for a bridge loan in San Francisco?
We primarily lend on residential investment properties in San Francisco, including single-family homes, 2-4 unit multi-family properties, and small apartment buildings (typically up to 20 units). Our focus is on non-owner-occupied properties where the asset's value and the investor's exit strategy are strong. We support acquisitions, refinances, and rehab projects for these property types across the Bay Area.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan on a San Francisco property?
Waterman Capital specializes in rapid funding. For qualified San Francisco residential bridge loan projects, we can often close and fund in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is crucial for competitive deals, allowing you to move quickly and decisively in the aggressive San Francisco real estate market.
Can a bridge loan help me acquire a San Francisco property if I'm waiting to sell another?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common uses for a bridge loan in an active market like San Francisco. A bridge loan allows you to purchase your new investment property without waiting for the sale of an existing one. It provides the necessary capital to close quickly, enabling you to make stronger offers and avoid missing out on desirable properties while ensuring a smooth transition between investments.
