Bridge Financing

Bridge Loans in Montana

Short-term capital for acquisitions, cash-out refinances, and time-sensitive deals. Close in days, not months.

Overview

What Is a Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan is short-term financing designed to "bridge" the gap between an immediate capital need and a longer-term solution. Whether you are acquiring a property at auction, need to close before selling an existing asset, or require fast capital for a time-sensitive opportunity, bridge financing provides the speed and flexibility that traditional banks cannot match.

Renegade Capital provides bridge loans secured by real property across Montana. Our underwriting focuses on the asset and exit strategy rather than extensive borrower documentation. This allows experienced investors and business owners to move quickly when opportunity strikes.

As a Montana-based private lender, we understand the local market and can evaluate deals that out-of-state lenders would pass on. From commercial properties in Helena and Billings to rural acreage and development parcels, we structure bridge financing around the specific needs of each deal.

Common Questions

Bridge Loan FAQ

How fast can Renegade Capital close a bridge loan?

Most bridge loans close within 7 to 14 business days from completed application. For repeat borrowers with clean collateral, we have closed in as few as 5 business days. Speed depends on property type, title clarity, and appraisal turnaround.

What types of properties qualify for bridge financing?

We finance commercial buildings, multi-family properties, mixed-use buildings, land, and investment residential properties. The property must be located in Montana and the loan must be for a business purpose. We do not finance owner-occupied primary residences.

What is the typical interest rate on a bridge loan?

Bridge loan rates typically range from 10% to 14% depending on loan-to-value, property type, borrower experience, and exit strategy strength. Rates are calculated on an Actual/360 day count basis. Contact us for a rate quote specific to your deal.

Do I need perfect credit to get a bridge loan?

No. While we review credit history, bridge loans are primarily asset-based. We focus on the property value, your equity position, and the strength of your exit strategy. Borrowers with credit challenges who have strong collateral are regularly approved.

What is an acceptable exit strategy for a bridge loan?

Common exit strategies include sale of the property, refinance into permanent conventional or commercial financing, completion and sale of a renovation project, or receipt of expected funds (inheritance, business sale, etc.). We evaluate the feasibility of your exit plan during underwriting.
