Strategic Use of BRIDGE LOANS

Let’s take a minute to talk about the various ways to use bridge loans – as they are often underutilized as a strategic solution in times of financial stress.

  • Bridge loans are designed for transitional funding needs such as a business restructuring, construction or property stabilization. The interest rates on bridge loans are generally higher than traditional, long-term real estate financing.

  • Bridge lenders take more risk since the property tends to have limited cash flow. Thus, the higher cost. For a bridge loan, the lender is mainly concerned with the market value of the property and the borrower’s ability to complete the project, but lenders also need to understand the company’s ability to repay.

  • Bridge loans are typically for 1-3 year maturities and the borrower only makes interest payments until maturity, with limited penalties for prepaying earlier.

  • The vast majority of bridge lenders are private, nonbank lenders. The higher risk usually involved in a bridge loan makes them unsuitable for most traditional lenders.
