Bridge Loans
The swift and respectful banking alternative for time sensitive real estate opportunities.
A bridge loan is a short term financing solution that helps you move quickly when a great opportunity presents itself. It is designed to “bridge” the gap between your immediate need and longer term financing or the sale of another property. These loans are fast, flexible, and built for investors who cannot afford to wait on traditional banks.
At Essential Capital TW, we use bridge loans to help clients secure deals that would otherwise pass them by. If timing matters, this loan gives you the speed you need to stay competitive.
What Is a Bridge Loan
Why Investors Use Bridge Loans
Bridge loans are favored by investors because they keep the process simple and move at the pace real estate requires. When you find a property that fits your strategy, you deserve a funding experience that meets the moment.
Key benefits include:
Fast approvals and closings
Flexible terms designed for short duration needs
Immediate access to capital for acquisitions
Options that support buying before selling
Straightforward expectations and respectful communication
Whether you are trying to win a deal, access equity, or keep a project moving, bridge financing gives you the leverage and timing flexibility to stay ahead.
How Bridge Loans Work
A bridge loan provides a quick source of funding when traditional loans are too slow. They are primarily based on the value of the real estate and the strength of your exit strategy.
Most bridge loans include:
Short term durations (usually 6 to 36 months)
Interest only payments during the loan term
A balloon payment at payoff or refinance
Faster underwriting compared to conventional mortgages
The ability to borrow against equity in an existing property
This structure keeps your payments manageable while giving you the runway to execute your plan.
Common Uses for Bridge Loans
Investors rely on bridge loans for a variety of real estate strategies. Some of the most common include:
Purchasing before selling
Buy a new property without waiting for your current property to close.
Fast acquisitions
Move on a time sensitive deal before the competition.
Portfolio repositioning
Refinance into a bridge loan temporarily while shifting your long term financing.
Renovation or repositioning
Use a bridge loan to stabilize a property before converting to a long term DSCR or commercial loan.
Auction or distressed acquisitions
Bridge loans allow buyers to meet strict timing requirements where traditional banks cannot.
If you have a project that requires speed, flexibility, or immediate action, a bridge loan is often the best solution.
