BRIDGE TO PERMANENT

Plan the short-term financing and the intended long-term exit together.

The short-term phase should be reviewed alongside the work required to reach a stable property and the conditions that may support an eligible longer-term refinance.

Bridge-to-permanent situations are reviewed as two connected phases: the short-term work needed now, and the conditions that would need to be in place for a longer-term refinance later.

Who it may help

This situation may be relevant for the following, depending on the property and deal review:

  • Real-estate investors
  • Property owners
  • Borrowing entities and companies
  • Project sponsors
  • Professional partners submitting eligible client situations

Common uses

Acquisition or renovation ahead of a long-term hold

Stabilisation before a longer-term refinance

Planning the short-term and long-term financing together

Property and project considerations

  • Acquisition or renovation phase
  • Property completion
  • Rental or operational stabilisation
  • Documentation preparation
  • Property performance

Information that may help

  • Property address and current phase (acquisition, renovation, or stabilisation)
  • Scope of remaining work, if any
  • Expected property performance once stabilised
  • Documentation prepared to date
  • Intended longer-term refinance timing

Do not send Social Security numbers, account passwords, card information, or complete sensitive financial documents through the general deal inquiry.

Exit strategy considerations

  • Longer-term refinance planning
  • Exit eligibility review
  • Another documented repayment event

The intended exit must be reasonable, supported, and reviewed as part of the full deal. Listing an exit strategy does not guarantee acceptance or financing availability.
