Commercial Bridge Loans

 

At Apartment Loan Store we have specialized in fast funding apartment bridge loans since 1997. Apartment bridge loans are used to finance apartment buildings that need remodeling or rehabilitation or are not stabilized (meaning they have lower than market occupancy and/or income). Our Multifamily Bridge loans typically have a term of one year to two years with rates starting in the five to six percent range for stronger borrowers and properties with a 30-day closing, and rates starting in the seven percent range for borrowers that have lower credit scores, lower liquidity, net worth or have properties that are in need of major rehab. We can close an apartment bridge loan in as little as 2 weeks. If you are looking for a value-added apartment building to purchase where you are obtaining it for well under its value, we can get you pre-approved in 24 hours.  Our letter of pre-approval can be used with the seller to assist you in landing the property. 

 

Almost all our apartment bridge loans have interest-only payments. In many cases there will not be a pre-payment penalty. But some apartment bridge programs require that the loan be taken out for a minimum of 6 to 12 months.  If you pay the loan off prior to that period you have to pay the remaining interest.  In many cases a payment reserve (an escrow account from the loan proceeds or your money used to make the loan payments) will be used if net income from the property is insufficient to make the payments.

 

Occasionally an apartment bridge loan is used for new multifamily construction when the borrower has difficulty getting approved for a conventional construction loan.
