Frequently Asked Questions from California Bridge Loan Clients
What is a bridge loan and how does it benefit California real estate investors?
A bridge loan is a short-term, asset-based loan designed to "bridge the gap" between an immediate financial need and securing long-term financing or a property sale. For California residential investors, it's ideal for quickly acquiring properties, funding necessary renovations or conversions, paying off maturing debt, or providing capital during a repositioning phase to stabilize a property before traditional, permanent financing can be secured. Its speed and flexibility are crucial in competitive California markets.
How quickly can Waterman Capital fund a bridge loan for my California residential property?
We prioritize efficiency to help you seize opportunities. For qualified California residential 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 rapid turnaround is invaluable for securing deals and executing your investment strategy effectively across the state.
What types of residential properties qualify for your California bridge loans?
We lend on a wide range of non-owner occupied residential properties across California. This includes single-family homes (1-4 units), townhomes, condos, and small multifamily properties (up to 20 units). Our focus is on the property's value and the project's viability, making us a flexible partner for diverse residential investment strategies.
What LTV (Loan-to-Value) can I expect for a bridge loan on a California property?
Waterman Capital typically offers bridge loans with an LTV of up to 70-75%. This percentage is generally based on the current market value of the residential property. For projects involving a clear plan for repositioning or value-add, we can sometimes structure terms that consider the property's projected value after the short-term improvements or stabilization, providing robust financing for your investment.
