Understanding Commercial Bridge Loan Costs

Key Takeaways

  • Bridge loan interest rates typically range from 8-15% with 2-4 points origination fees
  • Interest-only payments preserve capital for renovations and value-add improvements
  • Most bridge lenders offer 65-80% LTV with closing in 5-15 business days
  • No prepayment penalties allow flexible exits when your business plan is complete
  • Total cost of capital should be weighed against opportunity cost of missed deals

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.

Key Cost Components

When Bridge Loan Costs Make Sense

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a bridge loan payment?

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.

What fees are associated with bridge loans?

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.

What LTV can I expect on a commercial bridge loan?

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.
