Bridge Loans
Bridge loans are short-term financing solutions that help borrowers close quickly on a new property while awaiting the sale of an existing asset or securing permanent financing. They are ideal for time-sensitive transactions where speed is critical.
Bridge Loans in Florida — Short-Term Property Financing Guide
Bridge financing is short-term capital designed to cover a gap until a defined exit occurs, such as a property sale, refinance, stabilization, or permanent loan. Because speed and flexibility are central to the product, pricing and leverage often differ from long-term mortgages.

How to Apply — Step by Step
Define the gap and exit
Document why short-term capital is needed and how it will be repaid.
Evaluate collateral and leverage
Review purchase price, as-is value, projected value, existing liens, and requested loan amount.
Compare term sheets
Pay close attention to rate, points, term, extensions, recourse, reserves, and prepayment provisions.
Complete expedited diligence
Valuation, title, insurance, borrower documents, and other lender conditions are completed.
Execute the exit plan
Track the sale, stabilization, or refinance well before bridge maturity.
Who Qualifies?
Bridge-loan eligibility is driven by the collateral, requested leverage, borrower strength, transaction timeline, property condition, and the credibility of the repayment or refinance plan.
A fast closing is valuable only if the exit works. Model the cost of extensions and a slower-than-expected sale or refinance before choosing short-term financing.
