HARD MONEY & BRIDGE

The deal is on the clock. Your lender isn't.

When speed decides whether you get the property, conventional timelines aren't an option. Short-term and bridge financing exist for exactly this moment.

What's actually happening

Speed is a financing strategy.

Competitive properties go to whoever can perform. Conventional underwriting wasn't built for a fourteen-day close, a property that needs work, or a seller who won't wait.

Short-term financing solves a timing problem. It's a tool, not a permanent solution, and it works best when the exit is planned from day one.

Programs

Programs commonly used

Bridge Financing

Cover the gap between acquiring one property and selling or refinancing another.

Hard Money / Short-Term Asset-Based Loans

Funding driven primarily by the property and the deal rather than income documentation.

Commercial Options

Financing for commercial real estate acquisitions and repositioning.

Exit Planning

We map the long-term takeout loan at the same time as the short-term loan.

Program availability, terms, guidelines, and documentation requirements vary by lender and are subject to underwriting and change without notice. This is not a commitment to lend.

What people ask first

The honest answers

“What does hard money cost?”

Expect points at origination, a short term, and interest-only payments. Compare the total cost over the actual hold period to losing the deal, and to the return the property produces. That's the real math.

“Will I get stuck in it?”

Not if the exit is planned up front. We look at the takeout financing before you take the short-term loan.

“How fast can this move?”

Swift closings are standard practice. Give us the deadline first and it shapes every lender decision that follows.
