Frequently Asked Questions from San Francisco Residential Investors
What is a bridge loan and how does it benefit SF residential investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to "bridge" a financing gap. For San Francisco residential investors, it's ideal for quickly acquiring a new property before the sale of an existing one, making a cash-like offer to secure a competitive deal, or obtaining fast capital for minor renovations to increase property value before long-term financing.
When should a residential investor use a bridge loan in San Francisco?
Bridge loans are perfect for situations like: securing a new single-family home or multi-unit property before your current one closes, avoiding a contingent offer, pulling equity from a property for another investment, or quickly purchasing a distressed asset in a hot SF neighborhood to capitalize on an immediate opportunity.
What types of residential properties do you fund with bridge loans in SF?
We provide bridge loans for a wide array of residential investment properties across San Francisco, including single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, 4-plexes, and small multi-family apartment buildings with up to 20 units. Our focus is on the property's value and the project's viability.
How quickly can I get approved and funded for a residential bridge loan in San Francisco?
