Frequently Asked Questions About California Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it ideal for California real estate?
A bridge loan is a short-term, secured loan designed to "bridge" the financial gap between two transactions. It's ideal for California real estate investors who need quick capital to acquire a new property before an existing one sells, to complete a renovation, or to secure funds while awaiting long-term financing. It provides flexibility in a competitive market.
How fast can I get funded with a bridge loan in California?
We prioritize speed for bridge loan applications, understanding the time-sensitive nature of these transactions. For qualified projects across California, we can often fund loans in as little as 5-7 business days, with most loans closing within 7-15 business days, ensuring you don't miss out on opportunities.
What types of situations or properties qualify for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are suitable for a wide range of situations including purchasing a new investment property before selling a current one, providing capital for property renovations prior to sale or refinance, completing construction, or leveraging equity quickly. We lend on residential, multi-unit, commercial properties, and even land with development plans across California.
What is the typical term for a bridge loan from Waterman Capital?
Our bridge loan terms are flexible but generally range from 6 to 24 months. The specific term is tailored to your unique situation and anticipated exit strategy, giving you ample time to execute your plan, whether that's selling the property, refinancing into a long-term loan, or completing a value-add project.
