Short-Term Transition Financing

BRIDGE FINANCING WHEN YOUR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY CAN'T WAIT

Short-term financing for investors who need to acquire, reposition, refinance, or transition investment properties within a defined exit strategy. Bridge loans are designed for speed and flexibility, with a clear path to takeout through sale or refinancing.

Typical Use Cases

  • Acquiring a property quickly when conventional financing is too slow
  • Refinancing a maturing or balloon loan before a permanent takeout is ready
  • Repositioning a property for a higher-value exit
  • Extracting equity for a time-sensitive next acquisition
  • Transitioning a property from construction to stabilized occupancy

Common Borrower Questions

Why is an exit strategy required?

Bridge loans are short-term by design. The lender needs to see how the loan will be repaid — typically through a sale, refinance, or other documented source — before approving financing.

How fast can a bridge loan close?

Target closings are approximately 10 business days for qualified, complete transactions. Timeline depends on appraisal, title, and documentation readiness.

Are interest-only payments available?

Yes. Interest-only payment options are available on qualifying bridge programs to improve cash flow during the bridge period.

Can I refinance into a DSCR loan after bridging?

Yes. Many investors use a bridge loan to acquire, then refinance into a long-term DSCR rental loan once the property is stabilized and leased.
