Bridge financing FAQ
What is a bridge loan for investors?+
Bridge financing covers a gap between where you are today — acquisition, payoff, or stabilization — and your exit through refinance, sale, or rental hold. Investors use it when speed and flexibility matter more than long-term amortization.
How is bridge financing different from hard money?+
Both are often short-term and asset-based. Bridge usually implies a defined exit to refinance or sale within the term. Hard money is a broader label for private capital — many Pillar bridge scenarios align with our fix & flip and takeout programs.
What exit strategies are supported?+
Common exits include refinance into permanent rental financing, resale after value-add work, or stabilization and lease-up before a longer hold. Your advisor reviews whether the exit path fits the bridge term.
Can bridge loans fund acquisition and stabilization?+
Yes. Many bridge scenarios cover acquisition, payoff of existing debt, or transitional holds during renovation or lease-up — structure depends on property type, equity, and your experience.
What property types qualify?+
Pillar focuses on residential investment properties — single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and select small multifamily. Owner-occupied properties are outside our scope.
How do I get started?+
Share your deal details through our bridge scenario funnel or speak with an advisor. There is no application fee to explore whether the project fits program guidelines.
