Key Takeaways
Commercial bridge loans are short-term financing solutions designed for speed and flexibility. While they carry higher interest rates than traditional bank loans, their value lies in enabling time-sensitive acquisitions and value-add projects that would otherwise be impossible.
The higher cost of a bridge loan is often justified when the speed of closing allows you to secure a deal at a favorable price, or when the value you create through renovations exceeds the financing costs. Think of bridge loan costs as an investment in opportunity.

Bridge loan payments are typically interest-only, calculated by multiplying the loan amount by the annual interest rate divided by 12. For example, a $1M loan at 10% would have a monthly payment of approximately $8,333.
Bridge loans typically include origination fees (2-4 points), appraisal fees, legal fees, and sometimes exit fees. Origination points are a percentage of the loan amount charged upfront.
Most commercial bridge lenders offer 65-80% loan-to-value (LTV), though some may go higher based on the property's after-repair value (ARV) for value-add deals.
