What is a Real Estate Bridge Loan?

A real estate bridge loan is short-term financing designed to bridge the gap between a current financial need and a longer-term solution. In real estate investing, bridge loans serve investors who need capital quickly to acquire, stabilize, or reposition a property before securing permanent financing or executing a sale.

Many times a company is approved for a loan through its bank or financial institution, but the loan does not close for 4-6 months. During that time, a short-term bridge loan provides the capital needed so your financial objectives are not delayed while the senior loan completes its process. The bridge loan is repaid when the permanent financing closes.

Bridge loans differ from conventional financing in their speed, flexibility, and underwriting approach. Rather than relying solely on borrower income history, bridge loans are underwritten primarily on the property's as-is value and the strength of the exit strategy. This asset-based approach allows faster closings and more flexible qualification criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a bridge loan and a conventional loan?
Bridge loans are short-term (12-18 months) and underwritten primarily on the property's as-is value and your exit strategy. Conventional loans are long-term (15-30 years) and underwritten heavily on borrower income and credit history. Bridge loans close faster and offer more flexible qualification criteria.
How fast can a bridge loan close?
Bridge loans can close in as few as 10 days with complete documentation, depending on property appraisal and title clearance timelines. The speed advantage is one of the primary reasons investors use bridge financing.
What types of properties qualify for a bridge loan?
Multi-family apartment buildings with 5 or more units and mixed-use properties where residential space represents 70% or more of the total square footage. All properties must be investment properties.
What credit score do I need?
The minimum FICO score requirement is 650. Credit score is one factor in the underwriting process alongside property value, deal structure, and exit strategy.
What is an exit strategy and why does it matter?
An exit strategy is your plan for repaying the bridge loan. Common exit strategies include refinancing into permanent long-term financing, selling the property, or recapitalizing with different capital. Lenders evaluate the strength and feasibility of your exit strategy as a key part of underwriting.
Can I use a bridge loan for a cash-out refinance?
Yes. Cash-out bridge loans allow you to extract equity from a stabilized property at up to 65% of the as-is value. This provides liquidity for new acquisitions or other investment needs without forcing a sale.
