Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a real estate bridge loan and when should I use one?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" the gap between the sale of an existing property and the purchase of a new one, or to provide immediate capital for a project while waiting for traditional long-term financing to be approved. They are ideal for investors needing fast capital for acquisitions, property renovations, or to avoid missing out on lucrative deals due to slow conventional lending processes.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund my bridge loan?
We prioritize speed and efficiency. For qualified projects, we can often fund bridge loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-15 business days. Our streamlined process is designed to ensure you get the capital you need precisely when you need it.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We provide bridge loans for a wide range of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties, apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office, industrial), and mixed-use developments. Our focus is on the property's potential and the borrower's exit strategy, not just their credit history.
What is the typical term and interest rate for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are typically short-term, ranging from 6 to 24 months, with options for extensions. Interest rates are competitive and vary based on the project's specifics, property type, LTV, and borrower profile. Our terms are designed to be flexible, allowing you to execute your strategy without unnecessary pressure.
