Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and how does it work?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" the financial gap between an immediate need for capital and a longer-term financing solution. It allows real estate investors to move quickly on opportunities, such as purchasing a new property before their current one sells, or providing capital for renovations before a refinance.
When should an investor consider a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are ideal for situations requiring fast capital and flexibility. Common scenarios include: acquiring a new investment property while waiting for an existing property to sell, funding urgent renovations, preventing foreclosure, leveraging equity for new opportunities, or securing a property quickly without the delays of traditional financing.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund a bridge loan?
One of the primary advantages of our bridge loans is speed. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 7-10 business days, with most loans closing within 2-3 weeks. This efficiency is critical for time-sensitive real estate transactions.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a broad range of real estate assets, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and land with clear development plans. Our focus is on the property's value and the viability of the investor's exit strategy.
What is the typical term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are inherently short-term. Our typical loan terms range from 6 to 24 months, providing sufficient time for investors to execute their plan, whether that's selling a property, completing a renovation, or securing long-term financing. We also offer options for extensions based on project progress.
