Funded Bridge Loans for Multifamily Properties
LoanEdge, a direct private lender based in Silicon Valley, funded a $1,600,000 bridge loan for the acquisition of a multifamily property located near Downtown Palo Alto, CA. We funded 35.5% of the $4,500,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 64.5% cash at closing. The Borrower had sought conventional financing but was declined due to several units being used as short-term rentals. We structured a competitive solution that resulted in a monthly payment lower than what conventional lenders had offered. The 18-month term gives the Borrower time to phase out the short-term rentals and stabilize the property with quality long-term tenants in all 7 units. The exit strategy is to refinance into a conventional loan and hold the property long-term. The interest rate was 8.25% and we charged 1.5% origination points. This multifamily bridge loan was funded in June 2025.

Secured Capital Lending, a direct private lender, funded a $1,000,000 1st lien bridge loan for the acquisition of a multifamily development site in Van Nuys, Los Angeles County, CA. We funded 35% of the $2,900,000 purchase price, while the Borrower contributed 65% cash at closing. The Borrower is a seasoned developer and owner of a construction company for more than 25 years. He located a unique opportunity to acquire a 13,700-square-foot lot that is slated to have a 33-unit multifamily building. The land came with approved plans and ready-to-use (RTI) permits. The seller needed a fast close, so the Borrower decided to secure the lot with a quick bridge loan. This allowed him to prepare his team for the construction phase without rushing to find the right construction lender. We were able to quickly underwrite and get comfortable with the deal. Since the lot was fully entitled, this further reduced the investment’s risk level. This is a repeat Borrower of ours, and we were already comfortable with his experience and track record. No appraisal was needed since the property is local to us. We consulted with several elite commercial brokers in the area, including Marcus and Millichap, to get second opinions on value. It was a win-win for all parties involved. The Borrower had excellent credit. They plan to refinance into a construction loan. The interest rate was 11.5%, and the loan term was set at 12 months. This CRE bridge loan was funded in May 2024.

The purchase price was $6,750,000. The Borrower contributed some cash, but the majority of their equity came from the 1031 exchange of another investment property – a 25,000 square foot office building in Sacramento which had an estimated value of $2,000,000. Conventional financing was not an option because the multifamily property had some affordable housing restrictions, and the rents were below market due to the condition of the units. The Borrower plans to upgrade most of the units over a 12 to 18-month period. Once the rents have been increased and the property is stabilized, they plan to refinance into a permanent multifamily loan. The loan term was set at 24 months.
