Bridge Loans
Bridge Loans
A bridge loan is a short-term real estate loan designed to help investors move quickly when timing matters. Whether you're purchasing a property to renovate and sell, refinancing an investment while waiting for permanent financing, or acquiring commercial real estate before stabilization, bridge loans provide temporary capital that helps bridge the gap between today's opportunity and tomorrow's long-term financing.
Bridge loans are also commonly referred to asfix and flip loans,interest-only loans,hard money loans, orshort-term investment property loans, depending on the property type and project.
AtMedex PMC LLC, we help real estate investors, developers, builders, and business owners connect with private lenders offering bridge financing throughout South Carolina and the Southeast.
Our mission is simple:
Find It. Fund It. Close It.
What Is a Bridge Loan?
A bridge loan is temporary financing that allows an investor to purchase or refinance a property while preparing for a future sale or permanent loan.
Unlike traditional mortgages that may have repayment terms of 15 to 30 years, bridge loans are typically structured for6 to 24 monthsand often featureinterest-only monthly payments, helping investors keep carrying costs lower while completing their project.
Bridge financing is commonly used because many investment properties do not qualify for conventional financing when they are purchased. Once renovations are complete or the property begins generating stable income, borrowers often refinance into a long-term loan or sell the property.
Common Uses for Bridge Loans
Bridge financing is one of the most flexible loan products available for investors.
Typical uses include:
Fix and flip projects
Rental property acquisitions
Commercial property purchases
Property renovations
Ground-up construction while waiting for permanent financing
Purchasing distressed properties
Auction purchases
Short-term commercial acquisitions
Business property purchases
Land acquisitions with an exit strategy
Multifamily value-add projects
Hotel renovations
Mixed-use redevelopment
If the property needs work before qualifying for conventional financing, a bridge loan is often the first financing solution investors consider.
Who Bridge Loans Are For
Bridge loans are commonly used by:
House flippers
Rental property investors
Commercial real estate investors
Apartment investors
Developers
Builders
Business owners
Real estate investment companies
LLCs

Whether you are purchasing your first investment property or managing a portfolio of commercial buildings, bridge financing can provide flexibility when speed is critical.
Typical Loan Amounts

$50,000 to $40 Million
Loan amounts vary based on:

Exit strategy
Property type
Some bridge loan programs may finance a significant portion of the purchase price along with eligible renovation costs, depending on the lender and the project.
What Do Bridge Loans Cost?
Bridge loans are designed for short-term use and are priced differently than traditional mortgages.
Loan pricing depends on factors such as:
Property type
Loan amount
Experience of the borrower
Loan-to-value ratio
Estimated renovation budget
Exit strategy
Property location
Current market conditions
Although bridge loans generally have higher interest rates than conventional financing, they can allow investors to secure properties quickly, complete renovations, and move into permanent financing or sell the property for a profit.
Medex PMC providesno-cost consultationsto help borrowers understand available financing options.
Interest-Only Payments
One reason investors choose bridge loans is the availability ofinterest-only monthly payments.
Instead of making large principal and interest payments while renovating a property, borrowers may only pay the accrued interest during the loan term. This can improve monthly cash flow and allow more capital to be directed toward renovations or project expenses.
At the end of the loan, borrowers typically repay the remaining principal through:
Sale of the property
Refinance into a long-term loan
Business proceeds
Other approved exit strategies
How Long Does It Take?
Many bridge loans can close much faster than traditional commercial loans.
Typical timelines include:
Initial review: 24 to 48 hours
Loan review: Several business days
Closing: As little as5 business daysafter required documentation has been received
Larger commercial projects or construction loans may require additional due diligence.
What Documents Are Usually Required?
While requirements vary by lender, borrowers are often asked to provide:
Purchase contract
Property address
Renovation budget
Scope of work
Property photos
LLC documents
Bank statements
Identification
Existing lease information (if applicable)
Exit strategy
Having complete documentation ready can significantly speed up the approval process.
