Finance/Bridge loans

Fix and flip loans and bridge loans for California investors.

Short loans to buy before the long one: a house to renovate, a lot before the construction loan, a rental before the DSCR loan. We read the scope and the exit before you borrow.

When a bridge loan fits

Six deals that need a short loan first.

The exit

A bridge loan is only as good as the loan or sale that pays it off.

We price the exit before you borrow: the sale, or the rental loan that takes it out.

A short loan to buy or renovate investment property until a sale or a long-term loan pays it off.
