Frequently Asked Questions About Bridge Loans
What is a bridge loan and when is it ideal?
A bridge loan is a short-term, interest-only loan designed to "bridge" a financial gap between two transactions. It's ideal when you need to quickly access capital to purchase a new property before selling an existing one, acquire a time-sensitive investment, or cover immediate costs during a property transition while awaiting long-term financing.
How fast can I get funded for a bridge loan?
Our bridge loans are structured for speed. For qualified projects, we can often fund loans in as little as 5-7 business days, with most loans closing within 7-14 business days. This quick turnaround is essential for investors looking to capitalize on urgent opportunities.
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), and even land for development. The key is the asset's value and the clear exit strategy for the bridge loan.
What is the typical term for a bridge loan?
Bridge loans are inherently short-term. Our typical bridge loan terms range from 6 to 24 months, with options for extensions depending on the project's progress and exit strategy. The term is tailored to provide enough time to execute your plan, whether it's selling a property, completing a rehab, or securing permanent financing.
