What do people ask most about bridge loans?

A bridge loan is short-term financing secured against the equity in a property you already own, so you can buy your next one before selling it. We approve in under 24 hours, close in as few as 10 to 14 days, and in most cases need no appraisal. The questions below are grouped by what you are trying to work out.

Our origination fee is a flat 2 percent of the loan amount, and that is a cap. If you are being quoted more than 2 percent for a bridge loan, call us right away.
