Bridge Loans

Short-term gap financing to help you purchase quickly

Green Block’s bridge loans, sometimes referred to as gap financing, are short-term loans (usually up to 12 months) offered to real estate investors to take advantage of immediate opportunities such as purchasing a property quickly or to meet seasoning requirements. Being able to move quickly is a key to success in real estate investing, and our bridge loans can help you do that. Whether it’s a single family residence or an multi-unit apartment building, our bridge financing can help keep you one step ahead of the competition.

What are your loan fees?2022-07-03T16:09:13-04:00

Can I refinance the bridge loan through Green Block?2022-05-22T17:14:41-04:00

Yes! We offer long-term 30 year rental loans for properties you intend to hold. We can refinance or cash-out refinance your existing loan after you’ve held it for at least 90 days. While the long-term loan cannot close until at least 90 days after your existing short-term loan has been held, we can begin the processing and underwriting of the loan prior to 90 days.
