Frequently Asked Questions from Malibu Residential Clients

What is a bridge loan and why is it ideal for Malibu residential properties?

A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge" the financial gap between two real estate transactions. For Malibu residential investors, this is ideal for situations like making a non-contingent offer on a new luxury home before your current residence sells, accessing quick capital for a high-value renovation, or preventing foreclosure on an existing property, allowing you to act swiftly in Malibu's competitive market.

How fast can I get funded for a residential property in Malibu?

We understand the urgency often associated with Malibu's high-value residential transactions. 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 critical for securing prime residential properties and responding to market opportunities effectively.

What types of residential properties do you lend on in Malibu?

We provide bridge loans for a wide range of residential property types across Malibu, including single-family luxury homes, multi-unit residential properties (1-4 units), and small multifamily buildings up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's underlying value and the project's profitability, especially in Malibu's unique and desirable housing market.

Do you require an appraisal for Malibu residential properties?

To expedite the process for high-value Malibu properties, we often utilize efficient valuation methods such as Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations. These are based on recent comparable sales and our extensive experience in the local Malibu residential market, helping us to close faster without compromising due diligence on your significant investment.
