LSG Lending Advisors is dedicated to finding the best loan to help secure your property. A bridge loan is ideal for many when waiting to complete their property or to fund short-term expenses. Here is where you can find all the information you need on bridge loans and how they work.
What Is a Bridge Loan?
Bridge loans are a short-term option (up to 36 months) while waiting for long-term funding. Some Bridge lenders may offer additional 12-month extensions. A bridge loan works by providing an immediate cash injection to "bridge the gap," hence its name. Bridge loans can be used when waiting for the sale of a property to go through while purchasing another, for buying a property at auction, to pay for renovations, to bridge a broken property chain, to buy a second property, or to release cash flow.
How Does a Bridge Loan Work?
LSG Lending Advisors are proud to provide bridge loans on properties, including apartments, student housing, and senior housing. We offer excellent terms and conditions with a prepayment plan, which is prepayable at any time in whole or part, on a scheduled payment date, with a 1.00% premium during construction or until the final loan draw and without a premium after that. The rate will change quarterly over the 1-year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index during the term period. During the term period, the rate will adjust quarterly over the 1-year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Yield Index. We have an Estimated Pricing Placement guide to show what a bridge loan could look like and how bridge loans work.
Commercial Bridge Loans
There are different types of bridge loans that LSG Lending Advisors can help you with; regulated, unregulated, open, and closed. They each offer their terms and conditions. With an open bridge loan, there is no fixed repayment date, whereas a closed bridge loan requires you to have a fixed date for your repayment. Unregulated is the most common when dealing with a multifamily and apartment bridge loan as the property is a building used for business purposes or won’t be lived in by the borrower.
Bridge Loan Requirements
To offer a bridge loan on apartments or multifamily properties, we require the following:
- Appraisal
- Demand Analysis or Independent Market Study
- Survey
- Phase I Environmental Report
