San Diego Bridge Lenders for Residential Investment Property

TaliMar Financial, a direct hard money lender based in San Diego, recently funded a $900,000 bridge loan secured by a single-family rental home in Chula Vista, CA. The repeat Borrower approached us with a request to cash out equity on their investment property, which will be used to purchase another rental property. They had purchased the subject property years prior and were holding it as a long-term rental. When a new investment opportunity appeared, they needed to quickly tap the equity in the house to purchase the new property. The loan was structured at 70% of the current value, and we did not require a formal appraisal. The Borrower provided us with financial statements and a copy of the existing lease. We approved the loan and closed in 3 business days. This refinance bridge loan was funded in June 2021.

In March 2021, TaliMar Financial funded an $860,000 1st mortgage bridge loan secured by a condominium in San Diego, CA. The loan was referred to us by a mortgage broker after their original conventional lender was not going to be able to close on time. The Borrower had removed loan contingencies and the seller had multiple backup offers so the Borrower decided to fund a short-term purchase bridge loan. With a quick call between the mortgage broker and Borrower, we structured a loan that met the requirements of the Borrower and closed in less than 5 business days. The mortgage broker, the Borrower, the seller, and both agents were extremely appreciative of our last minute efforts to get the transaction closed. The Borrower put down 25% cash, and our loan funded 75% of the purchase price with an 18-month term. We required no appraisal and requested minimal documentation. The client intends to refinance the bridge loan with conventional bank financing.

TaliMar Financial funded a $701,500 bridge loan secured in 1st position on a single-family home with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in San Diego, California. The purpose of the loan was to pay off a construction loan that was nearing maturity. The Borrower had completed the renovation of the existing house and built the accessory dwelling unit. Both were fully leased at the time of our closing. The Borrower intends to hold the property as a long-term rental property and will obtain conventional financing as the eventual exit to our hard money bridge loan. The biggest hurdle in this transaction was the lack of comparable sales that were in similar condition and included an accessory dwelling unit. Instead of utilizing just comparable sales in our valuation, we considered the income generated from the property for our loan approval. This SFR refinance bridge loan was funded in November 2020.

In October 2020, TaliMar Financial funded a $415,000 1st position Bridge Loan secured on a single-family home with two Accessory Dwelling Units.

The Borrower was seeking a cash-out refinance option from their existing hard money purchase loan. Since originally purchasing the property, the Borrower had reconfigured the existing residence to add a second ADU and built a new 3rd ADU in the rear of the property.

Also known as an ADU, Accessory Dwelling Units are secondary units that can either be added to an existing structure or as a detached unit and be leased as a long-term or short-term rental. ADU’s regulations were designed to help alleviate the housing issues in many urban markets such as San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. They have become popular with real estate investors that are seeking to boost the cash flow from their investment properties.

In March 2015, Wilshire Quinn Capital funded a private money bridge loan for the purchase of a single family home in Point Loma, San Diego.

He used three of his other rental properties as collateral to get the cash needed for the new investment purchase. All were owned free-and-clear of liens and located nearby in Point Loma. The three properties were appraised collectively for $2,565,000 so the total loan-to-value is only 31%. The loan term for this 1st trust deed mortgage is 1 year. The Borrower plans to rehab the property, locate a tenant and then refinance with a conventional loan.
