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" the gap between two financial transactions. It's ideal for investors who need immediate capital to acquire a new property before their current property sells, to quickly refinance an existing loan, or to fund renovations that will increase a property's value before securing permanent financing. They are asset-based and designed for speed.
How fast can I get funded with a bridge loan?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified bridge loan projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This speed is critical for seizing time-sensitive investment opportunities and ensuring smooth transitions between properties.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
We lend on a wide range of investment 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. The focus is on the property's potential and the clear exit strategy for the bridge loan.
What is the typical term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are designed to be short-term. Our typical terms range from 6 months to 24 months, providing sufficient time for you to execute your exit strategy, whether that's selling the property, completing renovations, or securing long-term conventional financing. We work with you to align the loan term with your project timeline.
