A bridge loan is a temporary loan with a maturity of 12 months or less. An example of such a loan is one used to finance the purchase of a new property where the investors plan to sell the property within 12 months.
Many investors use this program to acquire properties “same as cash”.
Bridge loans are used as a temporary source of capital until a more traditional source can be secured.
Bridge loans are used in real estate for many reasons, including buying a property, stabilizing a property, or quick closing.
A bridge loan provides investors and real estate professionals the capital and time needed to get from point A to point B in their journey to profitability. A bridge loan can also provide short-term capital that banks are unwilling to offer.
Traditional lenders are limited to providing capital under a strict set of conditions. American Heritage Lending is not bound by those restrictions and can provide bridge loans backed by the equity in a property to meet any requirements.
We also offer bridge loans to investors that need fast money on property that is held free and clear or with substantial equity. Our bridge loans maximize your flexibility, enabling you to build, purchase, or rehab property.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO USE A BRIDGE LOAN?
- Developer: Needs capital to continue construction or development while waiting for equity financing to close.
- Investor: Purchases a property that requires funds for renovation and operation while locating renters.
- Buyer: Needs funds ASAP to purchase a prime piece of property.

Bridge Loans for Investor Property
Traditional financing for any investment property type requires a history of tenant payments. But, as is often the case, the property owner is interested in renovating the vacant property and attracting new tenants. Once these tenants are in place, owners must stabilize the income they receive.
Our bridge loans provide the means to complete the transaction with enough time to stabilize the property. Banks require a history of tenant payments, making it difficult to maintain that stabilization. We offer a quick close on the vacant building and flexible terms that give you ample time for renovations and stabilization.
We are as good as cash. And with no limits on the number of properties or bridge loans, you can leverage one building or your entire commercial portfolio.
Bridge Loans for a Refinance
This is among the most common uses for a bridge loan. There are times when an investor does not qualify for SBA loans due to damaged credit or a non-qualified property, which hinders a property owner’s access to equity in their traditional property.
This is where American Heritage Lending steps in. We can provide the capital to handle the necessary short-term liquidity needs so long as there is sufficient equity in the property. Our loans are designed for quick underwriting and fast closing to meet a borrower’s expedited timeline.
