Why Investors Choose Waterman Capital for Bridge Loans
The real estate market often presents opportunities that demand immediate action or requires a temporary financial solution to bridge a gap. Traditional lenders are often too slow or inflexible for these time-sensitive situations.
Waterman Capital offers a strategic advantage:

- Flexible Terms: We specialize in tailored bridge loans for unique transitional strategies, including property acquisitions before permanent financing is secured, preventing foreclosure, or facilitating a quick sale.
- Problem Solving: Bridge loans are designed to solve immediate problems, providing the necessary capital to move forward when conventional financing isn't an option or is taking too long.
- Asset-Based Lending: Our focus is on the property's value and the project's viability, making us an ideal partner for borrowers who may not qualify for traditional loans.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it typically used?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap. It's typically used when an investor needs immediate capital for a property purchase but is waiting for a long-term loan to close, needs to avoid foreclosure, or requires quick financing to facilitate a property transition or urgent acquisition.
How quickly can I get approved and funded for a bridge loan?
We prioritize speed for bridge loan applications. For qualified projects, we can often approve and fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This fast turnaround is critical for capitalizing on time-sensitive opportunities and avoiding delays.
What types of properties qualify for bridge loans?
We lend on a wide range of property types for bridge financing, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and even land for new construction. Our focus is on the property's underlying value and the clear exit strategy for the loan.
Do bridge loans require traditional appraisals?
To expedite the process and align with the urgent nature of bridge financing, we often utilize faster valuation methods such as BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions), AVMs (Automated Valuation Models), or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster.
