Bridge Loans – A Nimble Alternative to Traditional Financing
During recent years, commercial property owners have found it increasingly difficult to obtain timely financing for their properties. Given the strict regulatory environment, traditional lenders are unable to accommodate borrowers as they have in the past. As a result it takes borrowers considerably more time to obtain traditional financing for their investment opportunities.
ABLP offers the solution of providing short-term bridge loans to well-qualified borrowers. We serve the brokers of commercial properties by providing loans to their clients. By leveraging greater strategic flexibility in our underwriting criteria and lending terms than traditional lenders, ABLP is able to act quickly to provide borrowers with an attractive alternative to traditional financing. The underlying asset, whether office buildings, shopping centers, storage properties, apartment complexes, rental homes or other types of commercial property holdings, are collateral for the loans.
