Bridge loans are the tool for anything that isn't stabilized. Speed and flexibility come at the price of cost and risk — the return math still works when the deal is right.
Bridge lenders underwrite the take-out, not just the acquisition. Come to the table with a credible exit — a listing plan for flips, or a rate-locked DSCR pre-approval for BRRRR.
Common questions
Do I need flip experience?
First-time flippers can qualify with a partner who has 2+ completed flips, or by starting with a smaller loan and lower LTC.
How are rehab funds released?
In 3–6 draws tied to inspection milestones. Each draw funds 3–7 business days after inspection.
What happens if I don't finish in 12 months?
Extensions typically cost 1 point and add 0.5–1% to the rate. Better to underwrite conservatively upfront.
