Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and how does it work?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to "bridge" the gap between a borrower's current financial situation and their next long-term financing. Typically, it provides immediate capital for a new acquisition, renovation, or to cover a down payment while you wait for a current property to sell or for permanent financing to be secured. It's often secured by existing real estate assets and designed for quick repayment.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Waterman Capital specializes in rapid funding. For qualified projects, we can often close bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-15 business days. This speed is crucial for investors who need to act quickly on new opportunities or manage time-sensitive financial transitions.
What are common uses for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are incredibly versatile. Common uses include: acquiring a new property before selling an existing one, securing funds for a down payment on a larger deal, completing construction projects, facilitating partner buyouts, providing working capital for commercial projects, or even preventing foreclosure by offering a quick refinancing solution.
Do bridge loans require a traditional appraisal?
To expedite the process and align with the speed requirements of bridge financing, we often utilize faster valuation methods like Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and market expertise, rather than relying on a lengthy, traditional appraisal process. This helps us close deals much faster for our clients.
