Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it typically used?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to "bridge" a financing gap, usually for a period of 6 to 24 months. It's ideal when you need quick capital for property acquisition (e.g., buying a new home before selling your old one), completing a renovation, or securing a commercial property while awaiting long-term financing to finalize.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund a bridge loan?
Our expertise in private lending allows us to fund bridge loans much faster than traditional lenders. For qualified projects, we can often close in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans funding within 7-10 business days. This speed is critical for bridging time-sensitive capital requirements.
What types of properties are eligible for a bridge loan?
We provide bridge financing for a broad range of property types, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties, apartment buildings, commercial spaces (retail, office, industrial), and even land development projects where construction is imminent. The focus is on the asset's value and the viability of the planned exit strategy.
What is an "exit strategy" for a bridge loan?
An exit strategy is your plan for repaying the bridge loan. Common exit strategies include the sale of the property, securing long-term conventional financing (like a refinance), or the completion and sale of another related asset. We require a clear and credible exit strategy as part of our underwriting process to ensure the loan is a sustainable solution for your needs.
