Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it typically used?
A bridge loan is a short-term, secured loan designed to "bridge" the gap between two transactions or financing stages. Investors commonly use them to acquire new property before selling an existing one, to quickly close on a deal, to renovate a property before securing long-term financing, or to buy time for a property to season for conventional lending.
How fast can I get a bridge loan funded?
Speed is a primary advantage of bridge loans. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 3-5 business days, with most loans closing within 7-10 business days. This enables investors to react quickly to market opportunities and avoid delays.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
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, industrial), and land with clear development plans. The key is the asset's value and a viable exit strategy.
What is a typical term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are short-term by nature, typically ranging from 6 to 24 months. Our terms are flexible and designed to align with your specific exit strategy, whether it's selling the property, refinancing with a conventional loan, or completing construction.
What is required for a bridge loan exit strategy?
A clear and feasible exit strategy is crucial for bridge loans. Common exit strategies include selling the property, refinancing into a long-term conventional loan, or securing permanent financing after completing construction or value-add improvements. We work with you to ensure your exit plan is robust.
