Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to provide immediate capital for a specific period, "bridging" the gap until long-term financing is secured or an existing asset is sold. It's ideal for situations like acquiring a new property before an old one sells, quick property flips, refinancing maturing debt, or covering immediate expenses in a time-sensitive investment.
How quickly can I secure a bridge loan?
Speed is a primary benefit of bridge loans. For qualified projects, Waterman Capital can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is crucial for maintaining momentum in competitive real estate markets.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a diverse range of investment property types suitable for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and properties undergoing renovation. Our focus is on the asset's value and the viability of your exit strategy.
Do bridge loans require a full appraisal?
To expedite the process, we often utilize efficient valuation methods such as Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on current market data and comparable sales, rather than waiting for a lengthy traditional appraisal. This helps us accelerate the closing process for your bridge financing needs.
