Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to "bridge" a financial gap between transactions. It's ideal when you need to quickly acquire a new property before your current one sells, for interim financing on a commercial project, or to secure a property quickly without traditional loan delays. They are asset-based, offering flexibility and speed.
How fast can I get funded with 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 funded within 7-10 business days. This speed is critical for seizing time-sensitive real estate opportunities.
What types of properties qualify for your bridge loans?
We provide bridge loans for a wide array of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties (up to 4 units), commercial buildings (retail, office, industrial), and land with clear development plans. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's viability.
What is the typical term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are designed to be short-term. Our typical terms range from 6 to 24 months, providing sufficient time for you to execute your exit strategy, whether it's selling the property, securing long-term financing, or completing a construction phase. Extensions may be available depending on the project.
