Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a Bridge Loan and when is it ideal?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan used to 'bridge' the gap between current financing and future financing. It's ideal for real estate investors who need quick capital to purchase a new property before selling an existing one, finalize a deal with a tight closing deadline, or carry a property while awaiting long-term financing or a permanent exit strategy. They offer speed and flexibility where traditional loans fall short.
How fast can I get funded for a Bridge Loan?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified projects, we can often fund bridge 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 property types for bridge loan scenarios, including single-family homes, multi-unit residential (2-4 units), apartment buildings, commercial properties (retail, office), and even land for development. Our focus is on the asset's value and the viability of your exit strategy.
Do you require an appraisal for Bridge Loans?
To expedite the process, we often utilize BPOs (Broker's Price Opinions) 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 and provide the quick capital bridge loans demand.
