Why Investors Choose Waterman Capital for Bridge Loans

- Strategic Advantage: Bridge loans provide immediate capital to leverage opportunities that demand quick action, preventing lost deals due to typical financing delays. We focus on the asset and your clear exit strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it most useful?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan used to "bridge" a financial gap between two transactions or financing stages. It's ideal for investors who need quick capital for a new acquisition before selling an existing property, to avoid foreclosure, to pull cash out of an asset quickly, or to complete a rehab project before securing long-term financing.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Our process is designed for speed. For qualified projects with a clear exit strategy, we can often fund bridge loans in as little as 5-7 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This rapid turnaround is crucial for seizing time-sensitive investment opportunities.
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 viability of your exit strategy.
Do bridge loans require a traditional appraisal?
To expedite the process and align with the fast nature of bridge financing, we often utilize Broker's Price Opinions (BPOs) or conduct our own internal valuations based on recent comparable sales and our extensive market experience, rather than waiting for a full, traditional appraisal. This helps us close faster while still accurately assessing property value.
