Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans
If you want to reposition or rehabilitate a commercial property, a bridge loan can be a great solution. Typically lasting between 12 and 24 months, bridge loans are often interest-only, offer up to 75% LTC and have non-recourse options available.
Commercial Bridge Financing for Your Value-Add and Rehab Loans
Commercial Real Estate Loans has a proprietary bridge loan platform that offers temporary financing for borrowers seeking to rehab or reposition commercial properties. These properties may not qualify for permanent financing or whose short-term goals require short-term funding.
Commercial bridge loans are generally structured to account for capital expenditures. Depending on the situation, they also account for interest and other reserves. Bridge financing for a commercial property is usually used to stabilize the property for a sale or recapitalization and permanent financing. If a transition to permanent financing is preferred, Janover can assist in an easy shift to the most suitable financial mechanism for that situation.
