Overview

Bridge loans provide short-term capital to bridge the gap between a current financial need and a longer-term financing solution. Whether you're acquiring a property before selling another, closing on a time-sensitive deal, or need interim financing while securing permanent capital, our bridge loan programs are designed for speed, flexibility, and certainty of execution. We structure every bridge loan around a defined exit strategy — refinance, sale, or stabilization — ensuring both borrower and lender are aligned on the path to repayment. Available nationwide across all 50 states for commercial and residential investment properties.

Ideal For

  • Investors acquiring properties before selling existing assets
  • Time-sensitive acquisitions requiring rapid closing
  • Borrowers transitioning from construction to permanent financing
  • Properties in lease-up or stabilization requiring interim capital
  • Refinancing gaps when permanent financing is delayed
  • Auction purchases and foreclosure acquisitions
  • Cross-collateralized portfolio transactions

Typical Structures & Terms

Flexible structures engineered around your timeline, asset, and exit strategy.

Acquisition Bridge

Short-term capital to close on a property purchase while arranging permanent financing or selling another asset. Typically 6–18 months with interest-only payments.

Refinance Bridge

Interim financing when existing debt is maturing and permanent financing isn't yet in place. Prevents forced sales and provides time to optimize the capital stack.

Value-Add Bridge

Capital for properties requiring light renovation or repositioning before qualifying for conventional financing. Includes rehab budget in the loan structure.

Lease-Up Bridge

Financing for newly constructed or recently renovated properties that need time to reach stabilized occupancy before qualifying for permanent debt.

Note Purchase Bridge

Capital to acquire distressed notes or non-performing loans, with the bridge providing time to work out the underlying asset.

Portfolio Bridge

Cross-collateralized bridge financing across multiple properties, allowing investors to leverage their entire portfolio for a single capital need.
